Harris asked a nominee for federal justice about his OMG membership in the Catholic organization Knights of Columbus. You see, he's not supposed to be in that group because KOC is against abortion and homosexuality. No Catholic should serve in the US justice department aparently. The guys name was Bryan something but I am pretty sure she asked the same questions of Kavanaugh.

Catholics could say the same thing
.that she is not fit to serve bc she is in favor of those things.

So much for diversity.

And they say Christians aren't persecuted in the USA

This is all made up nonsense, and Christians are not persecuted in the US... get a better story.

I'll take persecution complex for $200, Alex.

How does Joe Biden, a lifelong Catholic pick someone like her? Boggles the mind.

I don't want to hear any Trump whataboutisms from the choir, so save your song for someone else.

It's not made up nonsense. She drilled him, and didn't want him to serve because of his deeply held religious beliefs. Being a Knights of Columbus member, a Catholic organization, she showed religious bigotry toward Bryan.
 
Is Kamala Harris anti-Catholic?

I will not defend every word of Harris’ questioning. It would have been nice if she had acknowledged the outstanding charitable work of the Knights. But this does not mean she is anti-Catholic. She is simply anti- any nominee who opposes abortion or gay rights. You can criticize her position on abortion or gay rights, but you cannot call her anti-Catholic.

She is not even anti-Knights. If the nominee had been a member of the Knights and pro-choice, as the late Ted Kennedy was, she would have voted for the nominee.

It is not anti-Catholicism to strongly attack the hierarchy’s or an organization’s views on abortion and gays.

One would expect the same kind of questioning from an anti-abortion senator if a nominee belonged to an organization that supports abortion. Likewise, I am sure that an anti-immigration senator would be just as critical of a nominee who was a member of the sanctuary movement.

If Harris is anti-Catholic, so too is Trump, who attacked Pope Francis as “disgraceful” for saying that “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.”

Anti-Catholicism is an easy accusation to hurl at your political opponents. Catholics should not play this game nor listen to those who do.

Full disclosure: I have sat in on a conference call with the Biden-Harris campaign with many other Catholic thinkers and leaders. I have not endorsed Biden-Harris or any other campaign and will not.

This is going to be fun watching you guys pretend that Catholics are in some way being oppressed.

It's not our side that struggles with whataboutisms, Trix. :)

Of course, that makes perfect sense...Biden is Catholic and he wanted a VP that was anti-Catholic. And if you believe that I got a bridge to sell ya. :lamo

What's the link between bigotry and oppression you are making?

What's fun is watching you to attempt to put words in my mouth. I never said Catholics are being oppressed.
Respond to what I actually wrote please.
 
K of C is a weird group, they tried to get my brother. They invited him to a meeting, and warned him to never tell of the secrets that he might see. He just laughed and said, "what, that you are just a lodge with people wearing funny hats and having secret handshakes, etc?" He thought they were just a bunch of weird old guys with hat and uniform fetishes.

A few weeks ago a good friend of mine died, known him since kindergarten at Catholic grade school. He was a high muckety muck in the K of C. The funeral wasn't as weird (due to Covid) as I expected, but they had some honor guard with swords and berets and spiffy weird costumes... We used to joke about the Knights, he was uber devout Catholic, I wasn't. I did Catholic high school, he didn't, I wonder if he would have been that way if he went to my high school. I sure do miss him, he was a hell of a guy.

We don't allow Catholic dogma to influence our judicial branch or any branch for that matter.

Hiding behind some fake god to excuse homophobia and misogyny went out in the 1400's. Just saying.

Well to be fair we have a Christer in Pence and the anti-Christ in Trump.

How does Pence agree to be the VP of someone like trump? Behavior is different than beliefs.
Fyi, a person can be 100% pro-choice and 100% anti-abortion

Shrewd campaign strategy. Ms. Harris also supports settled law; the right of women to choose if or when to have a child without male dominated authority routinely
interfering, Catholics, not so much.

Catholics vs. Evangelicals
Catholics vs. Evangelicals - Catholic Education Resource ...

Catholics must support authentically Catholic apologetic efforts, pro-life groups, seminaries, parish schools, colleges, publications, and radio-TV ministries. It is sad and unnecessary to watch anyone, young or old, reject the Church, especially when it is due to the misinformation spread by anti-Catholic evangelists.

Reminds me of song lyrics... a song that has certainly become relevant once again.

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of Kingdom and pope...

They have the right to their views but they most certainly don't have the right to force others to obey them by using their views as a platform for SCOTUS decision. This idea os why we have the separation of church and state because o the secular and religious rights of others are not for them to determine via their beliefs. Antonin Scalia was a far-right Catholic and he could not separate his religious beliefs from the US Constitution to the point where he laughably claimed that there was no repetition of church and state, despite 100+ years of legal precedence.

The views of the KofC are well known and very far right. My father was a 4th-degree Knight. They have the right to their own views but I have to question their being on the court and using their beliefs as a platform to legislate their theocratic ideas and force other to obey them. I certainly would not want my father on the bench and I absolutely wouldn't want my basy-sheep crazy uncle who is far more of a theocrat anywhere close to a platform, even if it was city council, where he could legislate his idiocy.

What are you trying to suggest? Was Kamela Harris chosen by the Deep State, Hillary, Obama, the ghost of Karl Marx, Antifa, and George Soros?

Very sorry to read of your loss of your lifelong friend. I only flirted with Catholic education, one year of high school, that was plenty. Half the faculty were brothers.
I did however, come away with a new insight into the "pecking order" of the R. Catholics who committed themselves to "life in Christ". Before that one year, I assumed
priesthood was the standard vocation males were all "called to", as the description of recruitment went. Priests drove Buicks or European sports cars, had housekeepers in their spacious, parish provided residences, officiated at baptisms, weddings, and funerals, and were free to accept a strong drink or several at any or all of such events.

At the Catholic high school, the faculty were of an order of Catholic brothers, they resided together in a dormitory on campus, owned no vehicles or for that matter, much of anything else because they committed to three oaths, just as nuns did. I became aware that parish priests take only two oaths, chastity and obedience.

There seemed to be many more nuns and brothers than there were parish priests. The humble demeanors and communal living disarmed the ingrained fear of socialism 1960s Americans were routinely injected with.

So, I was much more impressed with the lives of those who took all three oaths. They seemed to literally live a "life in Jesus", apart from the material world.

Even the parish priests seemed so different from millionaire TV and protestant mega church preachers.

R. Catholic orders should have done a better job of public outreach. The public face is the priests, and there are some orders of priesthood that adopt a life in poverty, too.

This lay Catholic movement helped put in perspective a sense of why we're here and what we should be doing after exposure to Jesus's teachings.
So many in the U.S. are not "free from want" of basic necessities, many more when this Trump pandemic-19 bites its deepest during the coming months.

Dorothy Day - Wikipedia

...As part of the Catholic Worker Movement, Day co-founded the Catholic Worker newspaper in 1933, and served as its editor from 1933 until her death in 1980. In this newspaper, Day advocated the Catholic economic theory of distributism, which she considered a third way between capitalism and socialism.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP] Pope Benedict XVI used her conversion story as an example of how to "journey towards faith... in a secularized environment."[SUP][3][/SUP] In an address before the United States Congress, Pope Francis included her in a list of four exemplary Americans who "buil[t] a better future".[SUP][9][/SUP] The Church has opened the cause for Day's possible canonization, which was accepted by the Holy See for investigation. For that reason, the Church refers to her with the title of Servant of God.

I shouldn't have to tell you this, but you logically cannot be an atheist and a Muslim at the same time.

I don't have a problem with someone who smokes a little weed for relaxation.


BTW,
Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was from Chennai, India; her father, Donald Harris, from Jamaica. The two met as graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley.

Her name, Kamala, means “lotus” in Sanskrit, and is another name for the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. She visited India multiple times as a girl and got to know her relatives there.




But because her parents divorced when she was 7, she also grew up in Oakland and Berkeley attending predominantly Black churches. Her downstairs neighbor, Regina Shelton, often took Kamala and her sister Maya to Oakland's 23rd Avenue Church of God in Oakland. Harris now considers herself a Black Baptist.

Sounds like a Jesuit high school. We have one in town, but we weren't of the ilk to go there. We did 7 kids at the normal Catholic school in town. Sadly, they closed it in 1989, but, amazingly, ten years later they opened a new one in the richest, whitest part of town, amazing eh?
