catholic church by st. pius x with stipulation they retain the heritage of the full heritage, liturgical, spiritual. i am ordained a roman catholic priest of arch diocese but i have faculties as pastor of the parish to celebrate in the russian byzantine rite and serve this community which has inherited that original union movement from the 20th century. many of the parishes that began in st. petersburg and moscow were later destroyed during soviet communist persecution. so those who could escape from the soviet union did so in various parts of the world, often entrusted to jesuits, jesuit order, society of jesus were often trained, jesuits in rome to serve russian byzantine catholic christians. so our parish our lady of fatima was a jesuit parish from its inception in 1950. >> let me ask you this if i have it right, you are catholic church in full communion with the church of rome. >> yes. >> you do services in english. >> you moved to english about 20 years ago. >> if i wanted to fulfill my sunday obligation, receive sacraments, confession, eucharist at your church that is perfectly all right. >> like any other catholic

court's ruling in roman catholic diocese versus cuomo simply stated the commonsense proposition, one that's in my view unremarkable, the government must treat mosques and synagogues and churches the same way that it treats liquor stores and acupuncture clinics. statements like these give religious americans like myself pause. why should we believe that she'll defend the civil rights, including the religious rights, of all americans not just those with whom she happens to agree? finally, i'm worried about ms. clarke's failure adequately to address her troubling history of inflammatory statements and irresponsible activism. in college she wrote an article stating that, quote melon in-- melanine endows blacks with other attributes, that isn't be measured. not surprisingly, she was asked about this at the senate judiciary hearing. when she was asked about it at her hearing, she claimed the statement was meant to be satirical. but at no point not during the hearing, not in connection with follow-up questions for the record did ms. clarke ever acknowledge the obvious that the statements were unacceptable, regardless of whether she intended them to be satirical. likewise rather than
