National Church Council Calls for Kavanaugh Withdrawal

[KeithD]

The National Council of Churches, an umbrella organization combining 38 Christian church denominations in the United States (but I bet no Bible-thumping, Trump-supporting, member-fleecing evangelicals), calls for the Kavanaugh nomination to be withdrawn based on his behavior.

No, they're the mainline Protestant churches nobody goes to any more.

An Episcopalian is a Presbyterian with a trust fund.

A Presbyterian is a Methodist with a college education.

And a Methodist is a Baptist with shoes.

I have a whole bunch of college degrees. Guess I'd better stop going to the United Methodist church and change over to the Episcopalian church next door. I've been considering doing that anyway.

If the America had an Established Church, the EC would be it. It's the one the old-money Northeastern WASPs go to, and they're the nearest thing we have to an aristocracy.


Joseph Palmi: Let me ask you something... we Italians, we got our families, and we got the church; the Irish, they have the homeland, Jews their tradition; even the niggers, they got their music. What about you people, Mr. Wilson, what do you have?

Edward Wilson: The United States of America. It's ours. The rest of you are just visiting.

Has the Pope weighed in on this? Kavalaugh is Catholic so it seems he'd be responsible to the Pope, not some PAC.

Perhaps someone could start a change.org petition to have him excommunicated!

Catholic bishop absolves Kavanaugh of culpability in alleged rape attempt because he was a drunk teen at the time

“I do not believe that the qualifications of any human being should include actions which he or she performed when seventeen years old. Teenagers do many imprudent, foolish, stupid, and sinful things, but in many or even most cases they recover from these bad actions or habits and act like responsible adults,” he explained. “Furthermore, what the judge is accused of is not even a complete act. It was not a rape. Even as it is reported, the prosecutor said that it is not actionable even from the point of view of prosecution as a crime. Furthermore, Judge Kavanaugh is supposed to have performed this act while drunk, according to his accuser, which would reduce culpability, if the incident did indeed occur”

The Catholic bishop did have the good graces to concede, “If Judge Kavanaugh had done something like this in more mature years, then I would say that there would be reason to block his nomination.”

Oh, like lying and avoiding answers to questions and ranting like a common Trump?

Good find. I didn't realize the church has actually commented on this. Thanks!

How many Catholics does it take to change a light bulb?

Three -- but they're really only one!
