also, what is the response off the catholic hierararchy to gros within thehe catholic c church t by all appppearances appear to e cults? >> i would say just to take your second question first thatt t te charismatic movement in the catholic chuhurch, which goes bk to the 1970's and d is acceptedy the e catholic church but t not everyoyone who is a chararismatc catholic -- charismatic refeferring to someonene who haa personal experieience of g god,d of directly through ththe holy spirit and often results in different gifts of the holy spirit likike speaking intends r -- in tongues or prophecy. this whole idea is somemething e church is ok with. a number of thesese covenanted communities are kind of a subgroup of chcharismatics. there is a number of these other communities that we have several times, word of g god, sort of the spirit, lords range, t moer of godd community. lookedd specificalallyt the people of prpraise, whicis meant to be quite honest, has fear criticisms than some of these other organizazations. but whahat we have is a set up n which these members of the community -- and

when he addressed the catholic massachusetts, i very catholic state, wisconsin, somewhat less so, but still significantly catholic population. he is talking to catholic audiences and saying don't hold , my catholicism against me. well, he was not given the same siege to protestants until he gets to west virginia, where he plays on the patriotism of his state, which sent a huge number of people in world war ii per capita in into korea, a very patriotic. they respected his service in world war ii and pt 109 and he says, no one has my religion or my brother joe's religion when we went off to fight after pearl harbor and they respect that. and they also pay attention to something else he does during that primary when at joe kennedy's urging, they bring in and franklin d. roosevelt junior to campaign for jack kennedy. and franklin roosevelt senior, franklin roosevelt himself was very popular in west virginia. they brought a lot of stuff and helps people out there. and the new deal really impacted west virginians to a great extent. so they bring in roosevelt, fdr junior as the hatchet man.

joe biden is a catholic and a democrat, judge amy coney barrett is a catholic who strictly adheres to her faith teachings it is about to be a republican president's nominee. we are taking a look at the two high profile catholics, how they are treated by the media. >> democrats and the media tends to describe biden's face as positive and amy coney barrett's as something to be afraid of. >> the dog lovers loudly within you. that is of concern. >> reporter: dianne feinstein is the senate judiciary committee, took issue with amy coney barrett's faith during her confirmation hearing to the seventh circuit court of appeals in 2017. than the new york times headline read some worry about judicial nominee ties to a religious group. tuesday borders was more explicit, handmade's tail? supreme court's religious community under scrutiny writing some of liked to describe the charismatic christian community to the totalitarian male-dominated society of margaret atwood's novel the handmade's tail, 60 years ago a democrat running for president faced similar scrutiny about his roman catholic faith. he

are you catholic, rudy? 29 supreme court vacancies have occurred during an election year, well before inauguration. ever since going back to george washington, the president has performed his constitutional duty and nominated a justice and in almost every one of these cases over the past 230 years, when the president and the senate were the same party, the justice as you know it was confirmed. this is about two centuries, more than two centuries of precedent, and i think it will continue. amy is going to go quickly. i do not know if i have ever seen the republican party more unified. i think it was probably more unified than -- by the impeachment hoax. that really turned out to be a hoax. now you look at what is happening with the fbi and justice department, if you look at all of those text messages, emails that were sent. they spied on our campaign. and everybody knew it. biden knew it, obama knew it, everybody knew it and the mainstream media it does not want to pick it up. cbs has done a fantastic job on

many of them catholic and jewish. but they didn't have enough votes in congress to stop the bill from being passed and certainly not enough political clout to stop president cal vun coolidge from signing it. this was a sign of a certain fear and weakness, i think, among the white anglo-saxon ma zwrierz well. the weakness could be glimpse in what was going on in american culture in the 1920s which is the main topic of the lecture today. the '20s saw a number of fierce conflicts between white, deeply religious and mostly rural order, the majority, but a majority that fell to self-peril. the other side, those both immigrant and native born, but more tolerant or at least a looser sense of personal morality, and lived mostly in modern cosmopolitan cities with a mix of church goers and secularists. you see echos of the own time in the arguments of people who support gay marriage and those who support it, those who think sex education in schools is great and those who think not at all, those think that teaching evolution in

could a catholic be loyal to the united states? come on.made that awful remark to the judge. let me repeat my question. why are only two bishops within the church speaking out? this is day one. we just started this. this is absolutely day one, and they‘ re started this. this is absolutely day one, and they're going to be coming out very strong. the catholic church is very well united on this. they are so is very well united on this. they are so thrilled that amy was chosen. they are so thrilled. it's been 2a hours, so it's been a very short period of time. but they will come out very strong. thank you for the briefing. you spoke really about some of the subjects that joe briefing. you spoke really about some of the subjects thatjoe biden has been refusing to answer questions on. his involvement with russia and china. the press doesn't ask those questions. the debate is coming up this week. will he be able to answer those questions?” coming up this week. will he be able to answer those questions? i don't know, but we will find out. a lot of

>> melinda gates: i grew up in a catholic family, very catholic community, all-girls catholic school for high school so the ultimate was to go to notre dame. i already knew about myself that i loved math and i was lucky enough to have a computer science teacher in high school, which very few high schools had back then, she advocated to get about a dozen computers in the classroom and i was already coding. i knew i wanted to code in college, i loved it and i wanted my career to be in that type of in technology. when i went to notre dame unfortunately i was pretty set on going there when i got in, unfortunately they were phasing their computer science department back into the departments and i didn't think that was a good idea because i felt like i could kind of see where tech was going a bit. luckily when i went to visit duke they had just gotten a big grant from ibm the year before and they had two brand-new computer labs and they were all in about trying to create this computer science department that i was able to say to myself, that is where i want to go and that's for me. >> you

i got one from a catholic group, several from catholic groups. i thought okay.case for her in some way. this group is called the network lobby for catholic social justice. they say she cares about abortion but not other people. it's a social justice group. they say she doesn't care about poor or immigrants. that's not in line with the catholic faith. they say this -- >> so they made the assumption that she's pro life in the woman but she's not a pro life for people who are vulnerable and poor. >> i think that's a huge assumption to make and a wrong assumption to make and she will clarify that in her hearings. to say somehow this is a power grab, unconstitutional or all legal, it's not. we have one president at the time and he's donald trump. we have a republican senate. they have every right to confirm justice barrett. >> shannon: all right. pastor, thank you. we'll leave it there. we'll see if that is the name tomorrow. thank you. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: a republican governor and a democratic big city mayor making different decisions about how to han

most catholics were voting democratic so the catholic church had more 30uer to influence. you did not see a man and woman in bed together. the gangster films showed him basically giving up -- either being blown up, someone you'd not want to follow but basically telling young people with angels with dirty faces, for example, one of his greatest gangster films saying they should not do what he had done. a lot of great films, golden age in hollywood in a lot of ways, but in terms of showing sexual content a much more oppressive age than our age today. and finally a major battleground in the 20s was religion. one can never underestimate the importance, significance of religion in american history. america, of course, was founded in new england, american colonies by the puritans. it was founded in the southwest earlier partly by catholic missionaries, spanish missionaries going together with the armed men defending the missions and looking for gold. america has always been one of the most church going countries in the world. and this was true of the '20s as it had been earlier.

nancy pelosi, she is catholic, half the supreme court basically is catholic as well. there is a real question with democrats saying, listen, we're not the ones trying to do this. it is republicans in many ways and conservatives who are trying to fan the flames. bob, are you trying to jump in or david? bob, take it. >> just to add to that point, many of my republican sources had hoped to in a way bait the democrats into a discussion on abortion rights, and catholic faith and the closing weeks of this campaign. so far, from democrats you're hearing some message discipline and that focus on healthcare rather than abortion rights or faith. and the catholic vote is a complicated political question. it is not voting in a wholesale way across the country. there is some catholics who focus more on social justice than abortion rights. >> well, and i agree with that, bob. i was going to say, the number i'm going to be watching, catholics are swing votes out there. 60% of the white catholics voted for donald trump in 2016. does that number go up or down? how much does biden eat

, catholic social services has a doctrinal issue with certifying parents to act as foster families if they're in a same-sex marriage relationship. the position that the archdiocese is taking is that they will essentially certify family if they are a traditional kind of male/female married couple. they will certify families if they are single-parent households. i believe their position is that they will certify single-parent households even if, you know, one of those single parents is gay or lesbian. but when it comes to a married couple that presents themselves as a same-sex married couple, that's not something that is consistent with catholic doctrine. the archdiocese can essentially sanction or certify. that doesn't necessarily mean that those couples are out of luck if they want to participate in the foster care program in the city of philadelphia because there are these -- some two dozen other organizations that they can go and get certified through those other organizations and they participate through this other organization rather than the catholic social services. probably bec

joe biden, catholic. speaker pelosi, catholic. why is this catholic wrong? hate they would just make up an argument when they don't have one.li it makes no sense at all. i could not take it any longer. dan is right, i had to get away from the asylum and i'm not going back. judge jeanine: okay. so dan, this debate is coming up joe biden some days he can't finish his sentence. other days, he reads pretty well from the teleprompter unless they have to move it up for him. how do you think he will be tuesday, if he shows up? >> let's put this out there, this is really important everyone understands this. joe biden, and no way, shape or form or fashion is running a presidential campaign. name may be on the ballot but nothing of a presidential campaign is with joe biden. he barely talks to the media never gets out of his basement, rarely leaves his house, doesn't even ask for people's post anymore and he doesn't shake hands, he's doing nothing. what i would like to see in the debate, i asked this personally, i said mr. president, please nail this guy down, he keeps

organization would subscribe to catholic teaching on the right to life? the junior senator for hawaii suggested this nominee would need to quit the organization, quit the knights of columbus to serve as a judge. you'd think the national backlash to all of this would have taught the political left a lesson, but here's what happened in just the past few days. the associated press, reuters, "politico," "newsweek," and "the washington post" have all already run major stories on the barrett family's private faith practices, each strongly implied there might be something worrisome or disqualifying if a federal judge were a faithful christian with strong ties to spiritual groups. "politico's" contributing editor literally went and period -- and peered around the physical grounds of a religious facility in south bend so he could report what the youth group had written on their white board. less than 72 hours in. this is where we are. the elite class is already treating americans of faith like exotic animals on display in a menagerie. look, i understand the far le

they are playing the religious card, and you're talking about catholics. that is a very major religion in our country. chris, do you have anything to say? she willll be strong, set up for what she believes in. pres. trump: she went through what i did four years ago in terms of different things, she went through and did very well, rudy, what do you think? >> the article in the new york times today reveals a very strong anti-catholic bias. it says in the article that catholicism and the american -- [indiscernible] the american --, what is their version of it? catholics have difficulty separating public and private morality, i do not have difficulty separating public and private reality -- morality. what i see is a very strong anti-catholic attack and having listened to the john kennedy election, that article reminded me -- it should have been written before john kennedy. she made an awful remark to the judge. >> let me repeat my question again, why are only two bishops within the church speaking out and will you make an effort to get the u.s. -- pres. trump:

looking at this right now, catholics consist 20% of the american population, 18% of ohioans are catholic, that's wosu radio reporting. does amy coney barrett's religion play a role in ohio? >> now, probably. i would imagine that it would be important for a lot of people here to have somebody representing what they believe are their beliefs. so, absolutely. i feel like that play, yes, an enormous role and i'm very, very excited at what's hopefully going to be announced at 5:00 a little later today. leland: right now you look at the real clear politics average in ohio. joe biden leads 49 to 45.7,

democrats are not attacking her because she's catholic. joe biden's catholic. the head of our party. there is no issue the democrats have with catholicism. there are a lot of debates within the catholic faith about issues like roe v. wade, lgbtq protections. democrats are going to focus on the fact that she has spoken out against the affordable care act, she could would it take away your health care, she voted to either limit abortion or of course overturn it, both are certainly possibilities. and she is far to the right of the mainstream in judicial rulings. not because her own faith but what she has said professionally in her job, melissa. that's what democrats will say. >> melissa: okay. harris, marie didn't answer my question. do you think it's a mistake they choose not to meet with her and they attack her -- >> marie: i did answer your question. [laughs] >> melissa: no, you didn't. he said nothing about -- >> marie: i said the polling is with democrats. >> melissa: nobody cares about -- that was my question. go ahead, harris. >> harris: if this isn't going

let's listen to this. >> amy coney barrett, catholic really catholic, i mean really, really catholic,e speaking in tongues. >> her catholic faith a core value, central to questions how she would rule on issues like abortion. >> under the microscope, barrett's link to small charismatic christian community, people of praise. >> people of praise where a lifelong oath of loyalty to could havenant to one another, and held accounted to a personal advisor called a head for men and a hand made for women. >> we've mean no such outrage in the potential nominee amy coney barrett talking about her catholic beliefs. i wonder why that might be? elizabeth: okay. the heavy-duty stuff there. your take what that will look like, how that will shake out? even "the daily beast" saying the left-winger arrest new low attacking judge barrett's family. this is hitting new lows. >> it is out of bounds, liz, can't we all americans agree on bays i can level of decency when a nominee for a major position like this comes up, one's family and one's religion, are out of bounds. and apparently the democrats know no l

we will talk about the history of catholic music. our guest today is a composer who is writing a new brand new mass for the archdiocese of san francisco to premier here in december. please rejoin us after this break as we talk about the path of beauty and music as a path to god. >>> welcome to mosaic. frank, thank you for joining us. >> brief me. i know you are from new jersey. you live here and have been there for 30 or 40 years. >> yes. i moved here when i went to school here. >>> you are a teacher of music at cal state hayward. i think you retired from that. >> right. i started in 1981 and hung up my cleats in 2014. >> we want to know what you're doing for the archdiocese of san francisco today. you are doing a mass and you are so right sacred music. why the interest? why turning to that? >> the interest in sacred music came to me relatively late in the span of my career as a component is. i have been writing music broadly understood as a classical style since about 1971. until a significant moment in my life in the late 90s, you

>> this is anti-catholic bigotry on display.he supreme court nominee her face should not play a central role the left is trying to make it. anything to attack her for, this is a woman, a wife, mom of 7, scholar and the judge. in normal times she is the ideal feminist portrayed in the ballot of being a mother and a successful career woman as well but because there is not much else to attack her for we are seeing these lines of anti-catholic bigotry which is against the constitution. we do not have a religious test for any public servant in the country. todd: it goes against the democrat nominee for president, joe biden. we appreciate your time, thanks for your insight. as the media goes on evidence against amy coney barrett, the games democrats are playing with this nomination will backfire. >> you can't get people to vote for joe biden or stand in the way of this nomination so she is trying to change the subject and make it about obamacare, a supreme court that reshaped this about so much more, this is one of the enduring legaci

the first catholic to run for president. and here, brochures being passed out, players being sent that if he got elected to come with the pope would call him and tell him what to do as president. and the ku klux klan would come out and protest in this country. jfk went forth. i want to show you something to happen to me when al gore announced that i was going to be his running mate. jesse jackson called me and he said to me, he was very happy that i had been chosen. he said one of the reasons was, in america, when a barrier breaks for one group, the doors of opportunity opened wider for every other american. and that has been our history. that is what is great about america. that is part of what is great about the life of justice ruth bader ginsburg who we are all morning now. what is the distance between being a bookkeeper and a justice of the supreme court? one generation. that was her and her mother she was talking about. and so, if nominated by the president and i hope and pray in in this case pray that the senators who

heard his praise, blank knots and then she is catholic, catholic, catholic, as if it was a swearword.ople are entitled to their opinions. but i think what's important for people to know is that yes, amy is a person of faith. she prays every day. she and her family go to church together, but i think it's also important to realize that people all across america also are people of faith and also go to church and to me, i think this is a nonissue. she's been very clear that she will be able to do her job and will apply the constitution how it is and not impart her own opinions in her own beliefs. >> martha: yeah. there's another person who basically said that the fact that she adopted two children from haiti, and we all had a great experience of seeing her beautiful family and the rose garden the other day on tv, and this professor at boston university said white colonizers adopted black children. the civilized these "savage children" in the "superior ways" of white people while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial while cutting these biological parents of the children

it's not being catholic.le -- >> i don't want to get too deeply into the whole religious debate here. what i want to find out, how is it different, her strong faith. clearly, she is very strong in her faith. is any different from any other representative who may come from any number of other faiths, whether you're muslim, whether you're jewish. if you're devout, why is her devotion so much more problematic? i'm talking about judge barrett. >> it's not problematic. i think it's something that should be discussed with membership in a particular group as -- in the same case that we should discuss in the case of the jewish nominee or muslim nominee. so the group she is a member of is known and -- not her particular group but that family of groups for having certain kinds of structures and -- >> that is true of all faiths. all faiths have a hierarchy structure. they all begin with god and come down from there. many faiths have specific rules as to how a person should abide in their lives and what they do. so i'm w

i am myself am catholic as well, full disclosure. but i always wonder if you made that exact comment, the dogma lives, speaks from within you -- i don't have it in front of me. i did the other day. about a muslim woman, you would be accused of being xenophobic. if you said it about ruth bader ginsberg or a jewish woman you would be accused of being antisemitic. but it seems like you can say these things about christians and catholics and people go hmmm. is that because they tie it to the issue of abortion? is it because christians are free, you can go after them? or is it because jessica tarlov said the other day she was talking about her putting, you know, the bible ahead of her duty to the law or some such thing. do any of those kind of responses -- why do you think it is you are allowed to attack christians and catholics in that way? >> ari: i can't imagine being jewish. if i had to testify or up for the united states senate, which i will never be, and someone said something to me about my faith as if it was a disqualifying matter

your two guests are practicing catholics. you've talked about possible byas against judge barrett's religion. only two catholic bishops have come out to say the same thing you have. is any effort being made by any of you to say get the u.s. conference of catholic bishops -- >> i think that, yeah. >> these other leaders within the church? >> we're in the process of doing that. it's horrible what they're doing. i mean, playing the religious card and it's frankly, talking about catholics. it's a -- a very major religion in our country. i don't know. chris, do you have anything to say about it? >> just that it's obvious what they're doing. so you know, she will be strong. she'll be tough and she'll stand up for what she believes in. >> she went through like i did four years ago in terms of litigation of different things. she went through it before. did really well. rudy, what do you think? >> read the article in the "new york times" reveals a very strong anti-catholic bias yet it says in the article that the theology and american

and are they being anti-catholic and raising questions of her catholic views.ere and they will be seen as anti-catholic and that will energy the catholic vote for the president in the midwest and down in florida. >> josh, is this agreed upon that barrett will have the votes she needs and what does it mean how broadly the trump presidency has shaped the court? >> i think it does appear she last the votes. you never know what can happen in the confirmation process. part of the reason people want to move through it quickly as they feel with brett kavanaugh, the stories moved through during. and now every day a nomination sits out there, that's another day something negative could come out. in terms of the court, it will be a dramatic shift. you have a conservative court. it was leaning 5-4 in the conservative direction. now 5-3 with the passing of ruth bader ginsburg. now there have been moments when conservatives have been disappointed on issues like obamacare and issues like the program for dreamers where the court ruled against the trump administration by 5-4 m

the catholic church is very united on this. they are so thrilled that amy was chosen. they are so thrilled. again it has been 24 hours. it's been a very short period of time but they will, very strong. >> you spoke earlier about the subject that joe biden has been refusing to answer questions on hunter biden in his involvement with russia, ukraine and even china. >> the press does not ask those questions, it is incredible. >> the debate is coming up this week, will he be able to answer those questions? >> we are going to find out because a lot of things are going to come up in the debate, that may be one, the son did not have a job, he had some big difficulties in all of the sudden he is making millions of dollars. as soon as his father becomes vice president. i think that will come up, i don't think joe can answer it frankly, there is only one reason he made all that money. and then you have to say what about joe's involvement. why did joe not get the billion dollars over to ukraine as an example until such time as they let go of a prosecutor that was investigating th

he came from a conservative, catholic background. i found no evidence to suggest he had anti-semitic jews. even had i done, what i think makes history important is that he left that all behind in his journey to the camp. and he found a way to reach beyond his immediate circle of friends. beyond his immediate conception of being polish and who he was in order to risk his life to call on crimes against pows and crimes on jewish families brought to the camp for extermination. that vermeil poses an interesting question to all of us today, how do we reach beyond to empathize with the suffering. what are story can really teach us. it's about to suggest there's one question and the many here will know his name he is quite celebrated and is remarkable career. the news of the holocaust in 1942 folding peyton to touch an incredible job of bringing that to the allies. and rightly celebrated the united states with the museum he is well known name. we know of course many reasons why his name is not well known. because of that suppression during c

amy coney barrett catholic really, really catholic and i mean really, really catholic like speaking inongues. >> tucker: what this is about and you can guess it already is abortion. the left is worried that amy coney barrett doesn't love abortion enough. she and her husband have seven children so it's a pretty fair guess. this is a nomination to her highest court so it's interesting and you'll know this this is the debate continues, they never address the question of the law on abortion. on roe v. wade. does anyone really think that roe versus wha roe vs. wade mak? where exactly in the constitution is the guarantee of post-viability abortion and you can find in a can tell us where it's been hiding. but they can't find it and they don't want to have the debate. so they attack amy coney barrett's family. the abortion industry lobby group tweeted that barrett "belongs to a group believes that husbands are in charge of their wives." larry is considering amy barrett's life and she seems pretty self-directed but other outlets places like politico and the guardian suggested that barrett belon

, there will be no catholic mass on these bases.and i hope the president of the united states stops in. >> shannon: we will see. we are shining light on it and trying to ask questions and find solutions. jonathan, mike, thank you for contributing. we will keep our viewers updated. >> thanks, shannon. >> shannon: all right, breaking that spirit law enforcement reaction to that princeton study separating the peaceful protests from the violence ones all across the country. but first, where in the world are you see in human trials on a new coronavirus vaccine after one of the participants suffered complications from the experiment. the pods is routine and the participant's expected to recover. one way paths inside the school must be followed and children will only be allowed to play with children from their classroom. south africa's economy sinking deep into recession after imposing one of the strictest lockdowns in the world. pledging 51% unemployment hitting a record high, 30%. are your asthma treatments just not enough? then see what

you're a catholic. do you think it's appropriate for democratic senators to ask judge barrett about her catholic faith? >> i think it's appropriate for people to ask her about how faithful she would be to the constitution of the united states, whatever her faith. it doesn't matter what her faith is or what religion she believes in. what matters is does she believe in the constitution of the united states. does she believe in the precedent on the supreme court that has upheld the affordable care act? this is, again, directly related to, a major concern of the american people, as it was in 2018. health care, health care, health care. the three most important issues in this election. even more so than in '18 because of the pandemic, which the president has failed to address and caused some of the over 200,000 deaths, nearly 7 million. in fact, i think it's over 7 million now infected. understand the power of people and their connection to their health care, to their children's health care, to their senior'

and -- that is not something consistent with catholic doctrine. that does not necessarily mean those couples are out of luck if they want to participate in a foster care program in the city of the little fear because there some 2000 other organizations that they can go and get certified through those other organizations and participate through these other organizations rather than the catholic social service. probably because of that phenomenon that there are alternative ways for a same-sex couple to get certified and participate in the program. case where -- not like the famous case of the colorado baker. this is not a case where this case started with a family complaining that they could not participate in the foster care because the catholic social services would not certify them. this is a case where it started -- and i suppose the press will feel good about this -- i think the case actually started with a inquirer" story. that created some pressure on the city of adelphia government to sort of do something about that, and they eventually took

of those sitting on the supreme court are catholics?d be one of six catholics on the bench. she would be joined by an episcopalian, who was raised catholic and two jewish. why go after her about her catholic faith. >> it is amazing. the constitution says there will be no religious test for office. when we understand this. they're again, they have antipathy to religion. it gets to heart of moral issues, health care, abortion, the tragedy that has been in our country for 50 years of murder of innocents in the womb. they don't want to talk about, contradicts their own catholic faith in many instances. attacking her for her catholic faith praising joe biden for his. michelle obama say he is guided by faith. seems only guided by faith when their faith split fits the political agenda. they don't like the faith differs from their political agenda. elizabeth: they don't like that judge barrett criticized the affordable care act individual mandate in the past. you know the thing is, the president said last night that judge barrett does have libe

minutes away our investigation into what is behind the decision to stop services for catholics while allowing others to continue. welcome to fox news at night. we begin with correspondent brian yunus and the latest on unrest throughout the country. >> protests continue in rochester new york, several hundred people taking to the streets, a black lives mural on the streets tonight, the seventh straight night of protests in rochester since the circumstances surrounding daniel prude's death in police custody became public, the police department in rochester had a dramatic shake up today. the police chief, singletary, announcing his retirement and not just him, the department's entire command staff announcing they are stepping down from the duties. mayor warren made the bombshell announcement during a zoom meeting with rochester city council, chief singletary is retiring after 20 years of service, released a statement saying in part, quote, as a man of integrity i will not sit idly by while outside entities attempt to destroy my character, the events of the past week or an attempt to dest

i would -- i'm catholic. i could live with the catholic judge.ld live with a judge who devoutly applied their faith to issues of the law. but it is not catholic, it is not devout to turn away your neighbor who is need of assistance as amy coney barrett did in 2020 when she was the lone judge to uphold the public charge rule which denied green cards to people who might need public assistance. it is not devoutly christian or catholic to praise the deliberate indifference of human life which she did in 2018 when she was the lone judge to tell a group of prisoners they had no 8th amendment protections when prison guards shot loaded guns into a crowded cafeteria. it is not devoutly catholic to take away people's health care. it is not devoutly catholic to apply the death penalty which amy coney barrett has written that a good catholic judge should recuse themselves from situations implying the death penalty but she has not written and here's the elephant in the room, she has not written that a good catholic judge should recuse themselves on issues inv

>> i am a catholic, and if you ask if i'm taking my faith seriously and i am catholic, i am, although would stress that my personal church affiliation or my religious belief would not bear in the discharge of my duties as a judge. >> tucker: can you even imagine, needless to say our media faithfully echoed those democratic party attacks. one headline written by a political activists said, handmaid's tale. writers later edited that headline. we will see what happens if amy coney barrett gets the nomination but we think we have the template for what is going to do. steve krakow as an editor of the podcast, thanks so much for coming on. it's hard to believe that the media would attack a nominee's religious faith and 2,020, but do you think they will? >> i don't think there's this group of militant atheists in the media who are trying to rid the world of religion, there's a laziness to it but a ignorance to it. they think it informs is politics in a positive way, and that's a good thing. they start with a chicken or egg thing and they like joe biden's politics. so because of that the fait

a devout catholic, father of two. here's a couple of images of his kids in fancy dress.is wife is a local schoolteacher, and the two of them. he and his wife on her wedding day, one of my favorite images. before the war poland had been one of the most pluralistic societies in europe. one-tenth of the population is jewish. that was the scene of course for when hitler's forces invaded poland. it was a short campaign. [background sounds] [inaudible] -- his plans to extremity europe's jews. instead he was intent on the destruction of poland by eliminating its professional classes, its intellectuals. that meant rounding up lawyers, doctors, journalists, writers, even the countries top chessplayer. here's some images from the western city from october 1939 showing a typical roundup and just to emphasize at this point the germans were arresting catholics and jews alike. it was sort of an indiscriminate roundup in many respects. over 50,000 polish nationals were killed in the first few months of the german occupation, absolutely staggering figure. the following year in may 1940

keep in mind joe biden is a practicing catholic. nancy pelosi is a practicing catholic. now, the obviously have different views than their church on the issue of abortione is between them, their church, and god. not sean hannity. in fact, the u.s. constitution is very clear about this. let's go to article 6, klaus 3. "no religious past shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the united states." that didn't stop senator dianne feinstein from grilling judge barrett over her catholic faith in 2017. pretty disgusting display. this was during her circuit court of appeals hearing. buckle up. preview of coming attractions. take a look. >> i think whatever a religion is, it has its own dogma. the law is totally different. i think in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. that's of concern. >> sean: your comments are of concern. that was 2017. my prediction it will only get worse. they will continue to attack her over her deeply held religious convictions and fait

organization that accepts catholic faith.nk we will see all manner of criticisms but it can change the fact -- >> brit: speaking of catholic -- >> exceptional nominee. brit: very quickly then, speaking of organizations, she has said to be a member of a group called people of praise which is a kind of christian group, exists in many countries and a number in this country. what do you know about people praise and do you have any idea why people seem afraid of that? secretary: well, as you said, a christian group that has spread around the world. it's any number of groups that catholics associate themselves to deepen their faith and deepen spiritualty and serve others. it's been suggested that because she's a member of this group she may have a submissive role and she won 3 times in notre dame law school. she's done amazing things. it's quite insulting to suggest that she has a submissive view of women's role in society, quite sexist. by the way, that's not what her critics are worried about. they are worried that she's a very t

her catholic faith a core value and central to questions about how she'd rule on issues like abortion>> if confirmed, i would not assume that role for the sake of those in my own circle and certainly not for my own sake. i would assume this role to serve you. >> reporter: barrett's nomination instantly controversial in part for its timing. a supreme court justice has never been put on the bench so close to an election. >> i'm sure it'll be extremely noncontroversial. >> reporter: now with republicans controlling the senate, the question is not so much if barrett will be confirmed but how soon. with confirmation hearings expected mid october. >> we need a full court. and i think that is possible before the election. >> reporter: democrats working to cast the process as illegitimate. >> tell them to abide by justice ginsburg's last honorable wish. and that is let the next president decide. >> reporter: for president trump, a legacy moment. during his term appointing more than 200 federal judges and if barrett is confirmed three supreme court justices. a record reshaping the federal judi

this has been a question hangover catholics for a long time. i thought we had resolved it, but apparently we haven't. have probablyre been many more overt instances of certain biases in the past. i think there was a long skepticism towards jewish justices and so i don't think this is the first time we have ever seen anything of this nature but i think it is the first time we have seen something this overton a long time and i'm sorry that we have. this is something we are going to discuss today and i know that this is just a sign of just how polarized and partisan the judicial nomination process has become. the days when someone like justice scalia, just asked about a catholic as others can be confirmed 98-0 are long, long gone. i agree with all of that from professor fitzpatrick, but having seen it happen a few times now on the committee, i think one of the tougher parts is that i think both sides kind of talk past each other or don't understand where they're coming from. i think at least some of the democrats don't think they are replying a re
