Just saying. I said I don't care for Catholics who openly slam the Church in public the way Bannon did. Even if reactions from Catholics are beginning to convince me he might have a point, I still don't think doing that is a good idea. I didn't like it when it was par for the course with liberal Catholics either.
But that is not anti-Catholic bigotry. He's just doing what I've listened to Catholics (usually progressive/liberal Catholics) do my entire life. Saying he thinks the Church and/or its leaders are wrong.
What Feinstein did is anti-Catholic bias. She joined a growing movement among the Left that is coming out of the closet and proclaiming 'we have met the enemy, and it is the historical Christian Faith. And fools who cling to that instead of the true saving gospel of liberalism had best learn the Bill of Rights no longer applies to them.'
Sanders said it, CAIR cheered Sanders for saying it, now Feinstein has said it in no uncertain terms. Just the relative silence across the MSM suggests where most media outlets are on the topic. So yes, telling Catholics who follow Church teaching that the same rights of others will be denied them is very anti-Catholic.
Saying that the Church leadership is messed up in how it is doing things is hardly anti-Catholic. If that was true, then admit it, we have the most anti-Catholic pope in the modern era.
You are lying. You put something in quotes, then have a paragraph break and state that Sanders said what you put in quotes. He said no such thing and neither did Senator Feinstein. Link to their actual statements like a real writer instead of the partisan hack you are.
ReplyDeleteNote actual quotation marks, which would suggest an actual quote. I used the singular apostrophe to set off what is clear to anyone with half a brain that they mean. If you support the idea that Christians who hold to traditional teachings of Church and Faith ought not be able to hold office, then that's up to you. But deal with the reality. Even the most generous interpretation of what they said can conclude nothing other than a call to prevent people with traditional, historic Christian beliefs from holding certain positions in our government. Which, if I understand the First Amendment well enough, is a violation of our most fundamental right as Americans.
DeleteAnd note the lack of name calling in my response. Try it some time.
