[quote=Anonymous]Cradle Catholic here - the picture is in bad taste, period, but I agree with PPs that many of Trump's policies are truly what I as a Catholic abhor. And for the 12:08 PP - I am liberal, was appalled by the Kavanaugh attack, and yet think there should be separation of church and state and am pro choice so I am not supportive of efforts to cloak discriminatory health care exclusions (for either women's or trans people's health care) in religious exemptions. If the nuns don't need abortions, they should not get them. Also, I think that Opus Dei members *are* fringe and am not surprised that the FBI was monitoring some Catholics for domestic extremism. I also think that mandated reporter-dom should not have any exemptions and the history of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church should make plain why this is the case. But, obviously we have very different politics so it's good that we both can be supportive of Kavanaugh's safety and we can all mourn Pope Francis in a respectful way (assuming, that is, that you are not a Catholic like Ross Douthat who took potshots at the man while he wasn't even in the grave, or a non-Catholic like Trump who doesn't embody the faith in any way). Liberals have just as much right to the Catholic faith as conservatives - so you don't need to worry about the (non??) Catholics. Jesuits and red line Jesus's words in the Bible are pretty clear about the need for social justice and embracing those on the fringe of society.[/quote]
