Al Smith had it coming

Al Smith lost the election for president because he was Catholic.

Heck, I'm old enough to remember when anti Catholicism was used to try to destroy JFK.

So it seems we are facing a similar "religious test" in the USA.

uh, constitution anyone?

Civil Rights law of 1964?

But of course, "catholics" who follow the latest fads will get a pass. Thanks to Cardinal McCarrick, a lot of Catholic politicians  aren't worried about openly ignoring those ten commandments (not just the part about killing the unborn and grandmom, but about stealing and lying and schtupping women and then letting them die when you wreck your car).

Sort of like the bishops here meeting with Gloria while condemning Rody's war on drugs and corruption. Or letting the ex mayor of our town have a huge catholic funeral, complete with KofC honor gard, while he was under indictment for the murders of a fellow poliltician's family (and our nephew, by the way).

but that's another story for another time.
