On Catholics and the Supreme Court

+JMJ

There is a very popular show on EWTN (Global Catholic Network) called “The World Over Live”. The show is hosted by Mr. Raymond Arroyo, whom I have had the pleasure of meeting in person along with my wife. The topic of this week’s show was concerning the recent nomination of yet another Pro-Life Catholic judge for the Supreme Court.

The usual proverbial feminist/liberal “peanut gallery” is calling foul to this appointment because they see Judge Alito as a radical anti-life foe. They assert that there are too many Catholics on the Supreme Court as is, and that other religions should be better represented like Islam or even atheism.

First of all, there can NEVER be too many Catholics standing up for the rights of our nations peoples. We don’t need a stronger Islamic representation; we don’t need a stronger atheistic representation. What this country needs is a strong Catholic representation. This country is not Islamic, it is not atheist either. At present, one out of every three people in this country are Catholic. Yes, this is a minority amongst the Protestant majority in this nation, but these "separated brethren" (the title given to Protestants by the Catechism of the Catholic Church and by the former Holy Fathers Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII) have dropped the ball in standing for fundamental biblical truths in our society today. There is no other religious body without/within Christendom that speaks with one voice against decaying morals in our time. While the Protestants are trying to make decisions out of their control regarding the illegal ordination of women, illegal ordination of homosexuals, versions of Scripture and liturgies that are more suitable to the ears of the feminist, gays, lesbians, liberals, anti-life activist, ant-family persons, pagans, and other reprobates, the Catholic Church stands firm and solid defending the old time religion with pride. What else could be expected of the one and only Church founded by Christ himself?

Secondly, just because four judges on the Supreme Court, and now possibly a fifth, state that they are Catholic doesn’t mean that they ARE Catholic; much in the same way that we have NEVER had a Catholic President nor even a Catholic candidate for President. To be Catholic means to live and believe in the teachings of the Church. In today’s society that is hard to do for many, and is not done by most. The same is true with Protestants. That being said, there aren’t as many fundamental Christians in control as we are led to believe, but there are many feminist and liberals hiding behind a mask painted like the Church that are in control. You can always tell a wolf in sheep’s clothing though, just take a closer look!

This nation is fundamental, it is conservative, it is Judeo-Christian, and we need men and women to reflect this on the bench, in Congress, and in the White House. Pray for a conservative take back of power, and pray for an end to abortion, which is what this battle is really all about in the first place!
