Hate to admit it but I used to love this guy. He is a great speaker and very glib and self-effacing, or used to be. But that was way back when, circa 1984, long before I became a Catholic and realized how heretical he is. I think they have the goods on him or else he would have run in 1992 the way people wanted him to. Clinton never could have gotten the nomination if Cuomo had run, but after messing with everyone’s heads Cuomo backed out and I think maybe there was some info on him or his son–some corruption or affair or something because I think he did want it.

How about Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia? Actually he might be a bit of a “radical traditionalist,” but I’m not sure.

I just did a quick google and it seemd Justice Scalia rejects the new catechism’s stance on the death penalty. He says it’s the Church trying to be “more relevant.”

We should send each of these pols an earmarked Catechism and several JPII encyclicals, eh??
 
Um, how are you defining “adhering to Catholic doctrine publicly”? Because neither Patty Murray nor Maria Cantwell of Washington state is pro-life at all–they both get high marks from NARAL, NOW & Emily’s List in fact.

Interestingly, Dino Rossi, the once-elected-still-possibly-Governor of our state is also a Catholic and pro-life. Keep the prayers coming! The trial over last November’s election scandal starts this week I think! We may have a faithful Catholic governor yet! 🙂

Just so I am not misunderstood, my list was not of FAITHFUL Catholics, but of all professed Catholics in Congress.

Patti “Osama Momma” Murray and Maria Cant"be"well are indeed dissenting Catholics.
 
What a brilliant theologian Cuomo has turned out to be - far surpassing Benedict XVI.

Why should we resort to consulting our catechisms or papal encyclicals to figure out what is changeable or unchangeable?
We’ve got Mario now! :rolleyes:
