The implication is usually that the nominee’s Catholic beliefs may be in opposition to the constitution, which is a very bad assumption to have. I also don’t recall, for instance, Jewish nominees ever being asked to justify their Judaism. Why is there a requirement for Catholics?

Probably because Catholics are often loudly and vehemently anti-abortion and abortion is currently legal.
 
How many times has JB tried to run forcPOTUD and never got anywhere.?Only now ,when the Dems are so desperate that they thrust him into the race,mostly as a figurehead.Its really a sad commentary for the state of what has now become the Dem party.
 
He didn’t have to be Catholic and the issue didn’t have to be abortion. The point is that judicial appointees need to be able to look past their own personal views when applying the law.
 
She pushed for a bill that would require priests to break the seal of confession in regards to any criminal sexual activity that is confessed to them. Thankfully it didn’t pass, but she showed where she stands on religious liberty. She is a cancer to the state of California and will be even more so as vice president. God deliver us from a Biden-Harris presidency.
 
Yes, it’s a hell of a choice. Vote for a ticket with a potentially anti-Catholic candidate or one who is in my opinion, a verified racist and promoter of white supremacism. I’ve already stated on another thread my vote is decided. I’m voting anti-Trump even the alternative is a bag of potato chips.

If Kamala is indeed anti-Catholic, I would presume she’d need to keep that under wraps given her running mate’s religion.

Thus far, I have seen no one able to successfully check Trump’s bigotry.

Again, a hell of a choice. But I think at this point, more than 90% of voters have already made up their minds.

This year for a vice presidential pick for the democrats in an election year where race is all the news talks about besides Covid? Yeah, sure do. Identity politics are hugely important to dem voters. They weren’t about a pick an old white guy as the candidate regardless of qualifications.
 
I think she was asking the nominee if he could support judicial precedent. That’s not anti-Catholic bias.

Did I say that? No. I didn’t even intimate it. :roll_eyes:

Given how being pro-life and pro-choice are opposite opinions to hold, if you assume most jews (or any non-catholic) are not pro-life enough to warrant questioning, then there must be an assumption that they are generally pro-choice.

Any way you slice it, religious tests are prejudiced in some way.

What are you talking about? Jews may be vehemently pro-life but not “loudly” pro-life. So might protestants, Hindis, Buddhists… Anyone could be. The question was asked because of an association with a vehemently pro-life organization. If the nominee was Muslim, would you be okay with asking about his association with groups that affirm Sharia Law?
 
Find an example of someone from another faith being asked a question like this as a form of loyalty test in your nation and I will withdraw my objection. There are a number of Churches which oppose abortion, my wife’s does, ok the likelihood of someone from the EO Churches ending up such a position is smallish but not impossible, I can’t imagine someone starting this conversation going, ‘So you are member of the Russian Orthodox Church’ and carrying on that vein. It reflects deep-seated anti-Catholic bigotry that evidently still has some resonance in the US.

The question wasn’t asked because he was Catholic – it was asked because he had associations with a Catholic organization that spoke out against a legal activity.

Same thought crossed my mind. A whole lotta Trump voters who might have gone Biden due to COVID or economy are going to be mighty put off by Kamala.

Yeah, I’m not sure those folks would ever have voted for Biden, no matter who his VP pick was.
 
It would have been a vote “against Trump”.
Also, as much as I hate to say this, people have in the back of their mind that Biden might die or even have to step down due to illness.

His perfect VP would have been Michelle Obama. Too bad she apparently wasn’t available because I can’t imagine they didn’t inquire.
