WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to news reports of President Trump’s planned nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to become a Supreme Court Justice, NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice announces its opposition to Judge Barrett. Years of decisions by Judge Barrett on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals prove that she does not hold all life to be sacred, as we are instructed to do by Catholic Social Teaching and Pope Francis.

The next Justice who fills the seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg must advocate for the equally sacred issues that Pope Francis calls all people of good faith to defend: the vulnerable, those in poverty, and immigrants. Until an appointee is presented who can meet this call, as Justice Ginsburg did, the Senate must not consider filling the vacancy.

To move forward with the nomination of Judge Barrett weeks before a Presidential election is an assault on our democratic system. The people and their next chosen President must decide on the next Supreme Court Justice. Catholic voters will not accept a partisan power grab by President Trump, Senator McConnell, and his Republican colleagues.

It’s about the Constitution and not what any one individual believes their morals are.

Secular or religious morals. It’s all about the Constitution as written.

Suck it Nuns...who threw your illegitimate children in a pit out back the nunnery.

A coven of witches.

Pretty much.

I wonder at people who refuse to see the truth about the Catholic Church, what would it take for them to wake up?

[Not A Snowbird]

They’re kidding, right?

[dirtymac]

so we worship the Pope now? What happened to the teaching of Jesus Christ?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#13: "Bill Donovan of the Catholic League supports ACB."

I respect that guy. He has always been morally consistent and doesn't talk out of both sides of his mouth.

The NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice is a left-of-center advocacy organization that advocates for legislation. It is the lobbying arm of NETWORK Advocates, which handles its direct activism and the training of local communities to organize for left-of-center causes. NETWORK is an outspoken critic of Republican policies. The group first rose to prominence with its “Nuns on the Bus” tour in opposition to then-Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan, with NETWORK executive director Simone Campbell speaking at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. [1] It opposed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment, and other pro-business and pro-free-market legislation. . .NETWORK was founded in April of 1972 by a group of 47 nuns, beginning immediately by promoting left-of-center legislation to prominent Democrats, such as Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Sen. Adlai Stevenson III (D-IL), and Rep. Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY). [7] According to its first newsletter, its priorities were “international poverty, congressional reform, minimum wage, child care, consumer protection, the environment, farmworker rights, healthcare, opposition to the Vietnam War, prison reform, tax fairness, welfare reform, and women’s rights.” [8] NETWORK has been highly critical of every Republican administration since its founding, most notably Presidents George W. Bush and President Donald Trump. The lobby called George W. Bush-era tax cuts “shameful” and “unconscionable,” [9] and opposed any military response to the September 11th attacks. [10] In the words of the National Catholic Reporter, a left-of-center Catholic publication, NETWORK did not “gain traction on [Capitol] Hill” until 2010, when it lobbied for Obamacare under executive director Simone Campbell, a member of the Sisters of Social Service religious order. . .The conflict reared to a head in 2012, when the Vatican accused NETWORK of having ““serious doctrinal problems.” It pointed out that it was “focusing its work too much on poverty and economic injustice, while keeping ‘silent’ on abortion and same-sex marriage.” . . .The current Executive Director of the NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice is Simone Campbell, a Catholic religious who receives a salary of $40,906 for her work. [23] An outspoken critic of Republican politicians and conservative policies, she was a speaker at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. . .: NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice
