So this judge is a CINO too, eh?
Silver lining to all of this is the weeding out factor!
Judge Noonan is pretty liberal. Yes, in his book “Contraception,” he found the Church’s historic position on the use of contraceptives to be ambiguous; however, he came out against abortion on demand/infanticide ,which he found had been
opposed by the Church in no certain terms since the beginning. As a result he was appointed to a federal judgeship by Reagan. In general, his views are Madisonian. It will interesting to see if he affirms/criticizes Notre Dame’s stand or not. Evangelicals think that Noonan is “conservative,” but I have my doubts. that he is to the right of Fr. Jenkins.
