There are a couple of factual inaccuracies in this article. Bob Beckel claims to be Protestant. I think Dana Perino has mentioned being a Lutheran. Gutfeld might have been raised Catholic, but now identifies as agnostic.

Every one of these people ... except for maybe Hannity ... are pro queer “marriage”, so are therefore NOT true Catholics.

Conservatives often have reason to find fault with church denominations, whose members are majority pro-abortion, pro-gay democrat voters.

What shocks you about that on a conservative political forum?

Bob Beckel is a Catholic? I found a reference on Wikipedia that says he is a Protestant. Not that Wiki is always correct, but why do you list him as Catholic?

BTW - Gretchen Carlson was raised Lutheran, but is now Methodist, I believe. Her replacement on F&F was originally Catholic but is now Evangelical.

What about some of the others? Jenna, Scott, Bill Hemmer (he is RC), but how about his co-anchorwoman whose name I know, but is escaping me now (forgive me as I am getting older every day).

What I am saying is that there are a lot more personalities on FXN than the ones you mentioned.

BTW, what exactly are you looking for on a news channel regarding evangelical Christianty? What you should be getting is honest reporting; and coverage of anything newsworthy regarding Protestant denominations - an even-handed report. In news reporting it is mandatory that listeners can get the truth and not biased reporting. That regards both what is reported and what is overlooked due to biases.

Agreed.

And why are there so many blonde beauties with short skirts?

I mean, why can’t Ailes recruit a few Chinese, Korean and/or Vietnamese cuties? Obviously FNC is guilty of blantant anti-Asian racism!

I have often wondered about that (SCOTUS makeup).

No, I don’t think that it occured randomly, either

You people are insane.

This list of “Catholics” on FOX is fine, I suppose; but failing to mention Judge Andrew Napolitano in such a list is a serious error. I would hope that it was simply an oversight.

For those who not aware, not only is Judge Napolitano a Roman Catholic, he is the only person (of those mentioned) on FOX that publicly acknowledges the fact that he attends the daily Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It might also be noted that he is what some people refer to as “Traditional Roman Catholic”.

You should know that when the name Bill O’Reilly is mentioned in what is suggested as an exhaustive a list of prominent “Catholics” on FOX; and the name of Judge Andrew Napolitano is never even mentioned; many faithful Catholics are rightly offended.

Laugh or cry — that’s it. The supposedly conservative Fox is generally liberal on social issues (Krauthammer, Will, Hayes, Megyn Kelly, the Five).

Meanwhile social cons under contract with Fox (Pat Buchanan and Cal Thomas) are rarely seen.

Maybe you should look up the meanings of “ sprinkling Catholics” or “A&P Catholics”. There’s a significant difference between practicing Catholics and cultural Catholics. Since most “Evangeical/ Fundamentalist animosity against Catholics is directed at the beliefs, rituals, rites, liturgies, and scriptual interpretations of the Church I don’t think your explanation holds water.

I just look at the data on how denominations vote, and the relationship with immigration and the left gaining total control of America.

Conservatives often have reason to find fault with church denominations, whose members are majority pro-abortion, pro-gay democrat voters, especially when the left have been, and are, importing them by the millions.

This is a political site, it is natural to be aware of what is destroying us.

The politics of the Catholic voters are a disaster.

The combination of the giant supercomputer beneath the Vatican with all the Protestant names and locations combined with the ferocious might of the order of Albino Assassin Monks makes it pretty hard to for the networks to not fill up their talking head rosters with Catholics. I mean, nobody wants another bloodbath like what happened before all the Protestant presidents started nominating Catholics and Jews to the SC.

It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Actually Sarah Palin is a baptized Catholic. She is just not an active one.

Re: SCOTUS

>> The Hand of that Catholic/Jew God. <<

Yeah, but remember that when Clarence Thomas was nominated and confirmed, he was Episcopalian — even though he has since journeyed back to Rome.

Bob Beckel claims he’s a born-again Christian, so he’s not a Catholic.

Greg Gutfeld was raised Catholic, but now says he’s an athiest.

Juan Williams is Episcopalian

Glenn Beck is a Morman.

How it must gall the libs that 99% of those who watch Fox News couldn’t care less what religion (or race, or sex) the on-air talent follows. Rational people don’t separate themselves by such things. Could it be that the Fox viewers are way more “tolerant” than the lefties will ever be?
