[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The focus on Catholicism in this discussion frustrates me. Although Catholics make up half of the world's Christians, they are a minority of Christians in the U.S.  Most U.S. Christians are Protestants, and beliefs vary widely.  There are lots of liberal Christian denominations that do not want to ban abortion.

Also, in the early years of this country - the period SCOTUS is apparently nostalgic for - Americans were not only staunchly anti-Catholic, they were really into non-Christian deism. Some of the most famous Founders, like Jefferson and Adams, we're not Christians: they denied that Jesus was divine. So the idea that Christian[i] or [/i]Catholic views are relevant to our political rights is really ahistoric and recent. [/quote]

Because the Catholic Church (Bishops) have more money, influence, and effects on our rights.

Catholics also do not believe women are equal.[/quote]

You are overstating this; not all Catholics agree on these issues (as the Pew report above shows).[/quote]

It does not matter what Catholic people think.
It does not matter what the pope thinks.

What you don’t understand is the counsel of bishops have loads of money and great lawyers and they lobby. They campaign from the pulpit (which is very non-Catholic)

They pay for laws, they prevent rape victims from bringing cases to court because they pay for judges and politicians to create laws to stop them, they pay gambling debts of SC nominees… dude, you are a sheep in their f’d up need to control the US. A bunch of crazy white males holding on for dear life.

That is the US Catholic Church, it’s a disaster.

They’ve moved on from raping kids to f’ing with women and gay people.

It’s totally f’d up… and the majority of Catholics know it, but you just follow along like sheep.[/quote]
