The telegraph says Neil Gorsuch the newly nominated supreme court justice ‘offers geographical diversity to a court dominated by justices from the east and west coasts. As an Episcopalian, he would be the only Protestant on the court, which has three Jewish justices and five Catholics.’ That doesn’t really make sense in a Protestant nation does it?
Crux another Catholic news report goes on to say he ‘has a stellar intellectual pedigree, featuring degrees from Colombia, Harvard and Oxford. (At Oxford he studied under Australian legal philospher John Finnis, who converted to Catholicism in 1962, who’s drawn on St. Thomas Aquinas in his work, who later became a member of the Vatican’s International Theological Commission and whose work there is believed to have influenced St. Pope John Paul II’s 1993 encyclical Veritatis Splendor on the importance of moral absolutes.)
With that added thought Thomas Aquinas outlined justification for Christian warfare, was admired by the Jesuits and the Jesuits were expelled out of the Catholic nations for their interference that lead to war initially between Spain and Portugal. That warfare has never ceased to the present day. It is no doubt that his training in issues of religious liberty is scented by that which is outlined by Vatican II. The constitution of the U.S.A was carefully constructed to escape the clutches of Romanism, the dictates of church and state. How long till a constitution change that will turn the blessings of the U.S.A into a curse?
The Romans have landed on the American shore and instilled their ideas of religious liberty that unfortunately by history do not ring true.
A man I admire who fights for the real sense of liberty in U.S.A is Ron Paul and his web site focuses well on this issue.
