The Washington D.C Red Mass Will be a Hot Potato

I am glad that Cardinal Dinardio is doing it. He is solid

Whispers has In the Capitol, "Red" Meets Blue

By the way I was not aware of this

Speaking of things pro-life (or not), the Court's standing precedent on abortion and its clash with Catholic teaching has led church-state separation advocates on the political left to criticize the Mass as a means of "lecturing" the justices, and the leader of the court's pro-choice bloc, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, no longer attends the liturgy after one Red Mass homily which she described as "outrageously anti-abortion."

Well what does she expect for goodness sake. What exactly is "outrageoulsy anti abortion".

Well, if five members of the Supreme Court are Catholic...or should I say "practicing Catholic", they should be used to hearing the Church's views on abortion. And for those who attend and are not Catholic, surely they are fully aware of the Catholic teaching on abortion.

Looks to me like there's just a lot of anti-Catholics who need to have something to whine about. The Mass is optional, no one is required to attend and it's not being celebrated on government property, so to those who object I can only say this...."deal with it."

I second that motion, Mary Ellen... "deal with it, Ruthie!" Grrrr.
