Catholic
Priest reminds Senate Democrats of Article VI of the United
States Constitution:
“Senate
Democrats who would use Judge Alito’s Catholic faith
as a weapon against him are advised to read the United States
Constitution…”
(Front
Royal, Va.) The Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, president of Human
Life International issued the following statement regarding
Senate Democrat threats to “grill” Supreme Court
nominee Judge Samuel Alito on his religious beliefs.
“The
hostility of some Senate Democrats to Roman Catholic judicial
nominees in general and Judge Samuel Alito specifically
is shocking. Senators who would use Judge Alito’s
Catholic faith as a weapon against him are advised to read
the United States Constitution.
“Article
VI of the Constitution guarantees that ‘No religious
Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any office
or public Trust under the United States.’
“If
Senate Democrats insist on attacking Alito for his Catholic
faith they will only succeed in further aliening Roman Catholics
who increasingly feel not wanted in a Democrat Party that
seems to stand for nothing but abortion on demand…”
