This is the Catholic Church

 

They actually have a saint who is in hell (John Paul II)

During the hearings for Amy Coney Barrett, republicans again and again got their panties in a twist whenever Democrats would ask any question that seemed to be an indictment of Barrett's faith.  Frankly, Barrett's adherence to the Catholic Church's doctrine as well as the actions of the Church and its leader are and should be worthy of blocking her nomination:

• The Catholic Church has been involved in repeated sexual abuse scandals since the 1950's, which continue to this day.  The Church has again and again failed to either rectify or stop these molestations.
• During her hearing, Barrett referred to one's sexual orientation has being a "preference."  This is in keeping with the Church's position that homosexuality is a sin, and is not in keeping with science which has explained again and again that people are born gay and do not choose to be such.
• The Church has become so ensconced in both taking away a woman's right to choose and in destroying gay rights that it has embraced the radical right's agenda, including racism.  Barrett wrote in a unlawful firing case that use of the "n" word in the workplace did not in and of itself create a hostile work environment.  I am reasonably certain that every black person on the face of this planet who has actually lived it would heartily disagree.  Barrett's statement shows both a callousness and ignorance that is mind boggling.
• Father John Jenkins, the President of Notre Dame, showed up at the Rose Garden event and did not wear a mask in the midst of a pandemic that at the time had killed over 200,000 Americans.  So much for the sanctity of life, eh?  (Proof that karma is indeed a bitch?  Jenkins contracted the virus.)
• And just what was Jenkins doing there?  I get that Barrett teaches at Notre Dame (all the proof I need to not send my kid to Notre Dame, thank you very much), but what in the hell is a Catholic priest doing at an event for an administration that has been separating immigrant children from their parents?  That said that white nationalists were good people?  That has tried relentlessly to cut food stamps?  Exactly when did Jesus say that these cruelties were acceptable?

The Catholic Church sold out the poor and people of color for a chance to ride the republican misogyny and homophobia train, in keeping with its antiquated and downright dangerous dogma.

It has lost its soul, and its doctrines as well as its fealty to conservative politicians should most definitely be fodder for Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
