Judicial Opening: Catholics Need Not Apply.

Sadly, I think this is true. If you are more than nominally Catholic you cannot be confirmed because you follow Church doctrine. And, more's the sorrow, those who claim your same Church (but not its core beliefs) will be well represented among those who prevent your confirmation¹.

What's Pryor's record as it pertains to the death penalty? The Church abhors the death penalty as well (pro-life = moment of conception until death at a time chosen by God, not man). Has Pryor done anything which indicates that he follows doctrine rather than death?



¹ And let's be absolutely clear here, an anti-abortion stance is clearly the unarguable doctrine of the Church. I've seen more argument over whether women should be priests, whether priests should be allowed to marry and even if the Church's doctrine on homosexuals is correct. I've heard unabashed abortion opposition from the pulpit for years (even when the Army had me stationed out in California south of San Fran).
