Reading up on Catholicism and the Supreme Court
Including your likely next justice, Amy Coney Barrett
Hi all - because so many of you subscribed in the past month, wanted to re-up my G.O.T.H.S. series three from May, on Catholicism and the Supreme Court, in light of the recent news.
Intro to Series Three
Amy Coney Barrett, Future 6-3 Vote
Leonard Leo, Natural Lawyer
Ginni Thomas, Ultimate Ride-or-Die Bitch
There are also some smaller supplemental pieces on USCCB amicus briefs to the court and Rod Dreher freaking out about court decisions.
It’s already started, of course, but in the next two months you’re going to see the bishops and prominent Catholic commentators absolutely sell their souls in the name of getting a solid conservative majority on the Court. I’m already mad about it, so know that if you’re mad, you’re not alone. And if you’re mad, know that many people have been mad at the church before and some of them have even become saints. And if you’re mad, I hope that learning more about the people and forces involved in these multiple national and church crises helps us all direct our anger towards fighting the root causes of those crises.
