That a law is anti-Catholic is a feature not a bug for the contemporary Democrat party. Any faithful Catholic who is also a Democrat needs to search their conscience.

Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
A “faithful Catholic who is also a Democrat” boarders upon the oxymoronic, imo. That’s an awful thing for me to write, yet the platform they stand upon is dark and anti-family, anti-life.
Philip is correct. Democrats are baby-murderers, sodomy-sanctifiers, and transgender child mutilators. Democrat Catholics are no different in substance from that Jewish man in 1st Maccabees chapter 2 who went to offer sacrifice to the pagan Greek gods at the command of the officers of the Seleucid king. You do realize what Mattathias did to that man, right? I do not advocate violence, but sooner or later, God’s punishment will come.
The governor who signed this into law is “Catholic.”
Seems an excommunication would be in order, but instead there was a “strong letter” from that bishop.
And don’t give me that latae sententia crap. “Lazy sentencing” is more like it. Bishops need to remember that the crozier is not just a gathering instrument, but a also a whacking stick with which to defend the flock.
“The governor who signed this into law is “Catholic.””
After this is over, he needs to have himself a long confession.
The fact that this is being recognised as anti-Catholic is justice. Let them try this stunt on the religion of peace.
Legal question: are we going to have to wait for a priest to be charged under this law to fight it in court?
No. A challenge could be brought on the basis that the law unconstitutionally infringes on a priest’s duty to hear confessions and to forgive sins.
