"Mario, the Pious" Questions Roberts' Abilities/Loyalties

First - I did not coin the phrase "Mario, the Pious"...I heard it used by Rush Limbaugh, so if there are any complaints, please hurl them elsewhere.

Mario Cuomo, a professed Catholic and former New York governor, called into question Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' ability to be a Supreme Court judge. Cuomo, the self-appointed expert in the Catholic/Political arena, was a guest on Meet the Press Sunday. William Donohue has some cogent observations here:

For Cuomo to float the idea that John Roberts might be a Vatican robot is as shameless as it is anti-Catholic. By doing so, he not only provides fodder to the enemies of the Catholic Church, he further discredits his credentials as a Catholic spokesman.

About the only thing wrong in Mr. Donohue's remark is that Cuomo is not and cannot be considered by any clear thinking rational human being as a Catholic spokesman, despite numerous attempts to the contrary by the main stream media or by Cuomo himself. Why, that's almost like saying that Richard McBrien is a Catholic "theologian". Other than that, I say "Kudos, once again!" to the Catholic League for pointing out the anti-Catholic attitudes of many, including those who profess to be Catholic.

We can, however, continue to pray that God will continue to bestow His blessings on all of us and that we will graciously accept all that He gives us. We can also pray for our own conversion as well as the conversion of others.
