Little Chucky Schumer rails against the fate that awaits all persecutors of the faithful.

From Penraker's blog:


Is it Anti-Catholicism?

Hugh Hewitt (On the radio 1280 AM here in Minneapolis 5PM -8PM ) has been pushing the idea that the Democratic opposition to David Pryor's nomination is anti-Catholic. Democrats have essentially taken the position that one who follows the teaching of the Catholic church on abortion is not an acceptable member of the judiciary.

They have not phrased it that way, of course, but once you listen to what they say, that's what it gets down to.

I don't think this is anti-Catholicism per se. But it seems to leave room on the bench only for Catholics who don't follow the church teaching.
A quick search on the internet showed that Islam is not wild about abortion either. Would the Democrats take the position that a devout Muslim who felt strongly about the teachings of his religion could not be appointed to the court? It would seem so.

How about devout Baptists? They oppose abortion also. Nope, can't be ajudge. Actually quite a few religious faiths take the same position. The Democrats would exclude them all as dangerous religious zealots.
So the Democratic opposition is not really anti-Catholic. It is more anti-religious.

Actually, sir, it is precisely anti- Catholicism. Just think about the moral issues that divide other Christians from The Church. I'm not saying Chucky would welcome a devout Baptist to the federal bench, but it the fact that only Catholicism has a unified philosophical and theological system to oppose the evil of this or any age.
