This Dogma Won't Hunt: Feinstein, Durbin, Sanders, and the New Religious Test for Office So much for Article VI of the U.S. Constitution | ED STETZER Excerpt : Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is the most recent, joined by Dick Durbin, and preceded (most famously) by Bernie Sanders. In all cases, their comments are catching notice on the right and left, and appropriately so. Furthermore, the frequency with which we are seeing it occur is beginning to cause concern for those who hold to religious beliefs today. Feinstein admonished Amy Barrett, a Trump nominee for a judgeship on the 7th Circuit, saying that Barrett’s Roman Catholic “dogma lives loudly” within her. Lest her words be out of context, here is the context of her statement: Why is it that so many of us on this side have this very uncomfortable feeling that— you know, dogma and law are two different things. And I think whatever a religion is, it has its own dogma. The law is totally different. And I think in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for years in this country. Dogma is defined by Merriam Webster as, “a doctrine or body of doctrines concerning faith or morals formally stated and authoritatively proclaimed by a church.” In other words, these are things that people of faith have settled upon in terms of doctrines or beliefs. This, perhaps, might remind us that dogma lived loudly in many of the nations founders. And it might also remind us of Article VI of the United States Constitution that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Officer or public Trust under the United States.” More: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ed...t-feinstein-durban-sanders-and-new- relig.html

(Edited)
libertysflame.com/cgi-bin...cgi?ArtNum=52690&Disp=All There's a difference between a religious test for office, and concerns that she'll consult the Vatican prior to rendering decisions. Durbin came closest to asking the relevant question, will she be calling Pope Francis often while deliberating cases? President Trump and the GOP elite leadership are afraid to question the judicial rulings of Francis. Thank God, Dianne Feinstein has to balls to do so!
Yeah that dog don't hunt either. Feinstein would love for Catholics to get Frank's approval as he is of the same cloth.

Cloth....that reeks of sulfur and rotting flesh. This fake Pope NEVER promotes the Gospel. Yet...no one seems to care that the "Vicar of Christ" is anything but. I find it amazing the the vast number of RCCs haven't revolted. But then most of them are RCINO. The Vatican has run the biggest shell game in history. The day the so-called revered Pope Paul kissed the Koran -- a Satanic Book of Death -- was THE day you knew the entire RCC was a deceptive, anti-Christ charade and cult.
