WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Statement of Culture of Life Foundation President Austin Ruse:
"We condemn Senator Feinstein's attempt to place Judge Robert's Catholicism at the center of his confirmation hearings this afternoon," said Culture of Life Foundation President Austin Ruse.
"Using the context of John Kennedy's Catholicism, Senator Feinstein asked Judge Roberts if he believed in an absolute separation of Church and state. In her questions and comments Senator Feinstein invoked those terrible debates in America about whether Catholics could have a role in the public square. Apparently Senator Feinstein agrees with those who feared faithful Catholics in public office.
"Senator Feinstein's questioning is
an unconscionable dredging up of a dark time in America. And her questioning comes perilously close to a religious test for pubic office. She owes Judge Roberts and all Americans an apology."
