Do you mean there are more Catholic Dems in congress than Catholic Repubs? That may well be so.

More and more Catholic voters, though, are voting Repub. I’m not a Repub and surely never will be. But I can certainly see why a lot of Dem Catholics, like I was once, are leaving the Dem party. All should.

And while Sotomayor is nominally Catholic, she is obviously pro-abortion, as she was totally backed by the National Abortion Rights Action League. She’s as “Catholic” as Pelosi.

But real, believing Catholics? No. Can’t have them on the Court, and the Dem party is going to fight it tooth and nail because if Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are staunchly prolife, Roe is probably finished. The Dems will do everything in their power to prevent that. And that includes joining their allies like NARAL and Ford, a pro-abortion activist, in that fight.

It’s KKK time again for the Dems, and no question about it.
 
Actually, I don’t think Ms. Ford has said it was attempted rape.

Obama appointed a pro choice Catholic huge difference
His administration was loaded with those types

Those Catholics who accept certain teachings of the Church but reject others, can rightly be described as “protest-ants”
 
Yep! CINO
I think it was intentional that Obama appointed these marginal Catholics to various positions just to snare the marginal Catholics in the pews.

Just saying that doesn’t make you correct. It’s obvious what they’re doing, and everybody knows it. When even “pro-choice” people admit that the opposition to Kavanaugh is about abortion, you know it’s true

But you framed this as anti-Catholic bigotry, That frame is implausible given that Obama appointed a Catholic to the SCOTUS, with the support of Senate Democrats, the Democrats in Congress are more Catholic than the Republicans, and that so many Catholics register and vote ad Democrats. You may have an agenda to push, but that frame doesn’t wash.

You are misreading the anti-Catholic bigotry charge. It isn’t that the bigotry is against Catholics, per se. No, the bigotry is against what the Church has traditionally held and taught for 2000 years.

You see, as a group, Catholics are pretty much indistinguishable from the general population.

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

So as long as Catholics toe the party line of support for abortion “in all or most cases,” there is nothing for the Dems to be anti-Catholic about. In fact, provided “Catholics” are amenable to stating that they personally think abortions should be safe and available, their position is deemed “acceptable.”

Just dare to voice opposition to abortion and see how your frame “gets washed” or much worse.

It’s all part of the modernist strategy of changing the Church from within by the tolerance and bolstering of compromised, lukewarm and indolent “Catholics” – who couldn’t distinguish a moral issue from an emotional impulse – so as to beguile and cajole the stiff-necked “hold outs” to modify their moral views.

Sure, anti-“Catholic” bigotry in the DNC is implausible when the supposed “Catholic” is supportive of everything the Dems do. The 😡 only emerges when the 🤬 Catholic isn’t very supportive.

Ah, but you knew that, didn’t you?

Perhaps that is why the lady is asking for a real investigation.

A real investigation of what? Her letter? Kavanaugh ‘s denial? The complaint she filed with the Bethesda police and their subsequent investigation?
How can they investigate the time and place if she doesn’t know them, and he doesn’t know them?

And YES, isolated incidents as teens are not really relevant.

Yeah, those teen-aged scallywags. What’s a little attempted rape? Boys will be boys.

Times have changed. Cory once viewed it as a sport, not unlike baseball, during his boyhood.

Fortunately, he now, playing Spartacus, is one of the enlightened ones who will retroactively condemn every instance of it, even in the absence of any proof, when it concerns anyone NOT named ‘Cory Booker.’

Perhaps, to be entirely consistent, he ought to withdraw his name from any future ballot for POTUS?

I mean given that POTUS is a far more impactful office for a possible sex-offender to hold than a seat on the SCOTUS.
 
I think the investigation would involve identification of all possible witnesses and take it from there.
 
It’s a “tar baby”, and if the Repubs touch it, which apparently they’re going to do, they’ll never get free of it. There will be endless “maybe” witnesses, possibly some perjurers, circumstantial “oh go talk to X. He was there. No I don’t know where he is now.” And if that runs dry, somebody else will come up with something.

It won’t end until Trump withdraws Kavanaugh’s appointment or the Repubs vote to confirm. Kavanaugh might oppose the Democrat abortion-religion, and they’ll not forgive that, even as a possibility.

But frankly, I think Kavanugh is done. NARAL and others will gin up political threats to Collins, Murkowski and Dems like Manchin and Heitkamp so they’ll be afraid not to put on their KKK hoods and “hang the Cat-licker”

And here I thought Catholic meant Universal. Silly me.

Universal?

As in “open to a universe of moral values?”

Could you suggest a meaning for “universal” that fits with a Catholic morality?

Or are we in the business of redefining words like “universal” just as we did “marriage?”
 
Hillary Clinton said Catholics need to “change their religion” to accommodate abortion. She meant that.

We have Mueller as an archetype.

The epitome of a rabbit-hole or rattrap.

At least no one, yet, has accused you of resurrecting a racist meme.

No, but you are interpreting it, since the wording is “one holy catholic and apostolic Church.”

So what is the meaning of the term “universal” as you would render “Catholic?”

The CCC renders the meaning as…

830 The word “catholic” means “universal,” in the sense of “according to the totality” or “in keeping with the whole.” The Church is catholic in a double sense:

First, the Church is catholic because Christ is present in her. “Where there is Christ Jesus, there is the Catholic Church.” In her subsists the fullness of Christ’s body united with its head; this implies that she receives from him “the fullness of the means of salvation” which he has willed: correct and complete confession of faith, full sacramental life, and ordained ministry in apostolic succession. The Church was, in this fundamental sense, catholic on the day of Pentecost and will always be so until the day of the Parousia.

It doesn’t appear to mean “amenable to compromise with every possible moral or theological opinion.”

Perhaps I am missing something?
