[quote=Anonymous]Sigh.  The Deep South, the heart of MAGA country, the most anti-gay and anti-choice region in the country, is far and away the least Catholic.  They're practically non-existent there.  The KKK hated Catholics almost as much as it hated black people.

Catholics are most heavily concentrated in urban areas of the northeast, Midwest, and California -- the bluest areas of the country.  The nutjob Catholics on the Supreme Court weren't picked because they're Catholic; they're there because they're conservative.  Conservatives come in every stripe.  Stephen Miller is Jewish.  Scott Bessent is gay.  Justice Sotomayor is Catholic.  So was Justice William Brennan, the liberal lion anti-death penalty champion of abortion rights and gay rights who Justice Scalia once said was the most influential justice of the 20th Century.

Anyone who thinks that we Catholics are all running around hating and judging gays just don't get us.  They're certainly not going to Mass with us (where gay sh*t is never discussed) and they're not having dinner with us.  Sure, from time to time some bishop or somebody in Rome says something about the gays -- we roll our eyes and go on with our day.

There's a lot of "official" stuff that I don't like about many other mainstream religions.  I don't judge every member of those faiths for that stuff.  If you are judging every Catholic for every official tenet of the religion it makes you a bigot.  Plain and simple.
