" She’s a member of People of Praise, a charismatic covenant community in South Bend, Indiana, that has been criticized by former members for being a religious cult. "
She's a cult member, from a group that, until very recently, called women handmaids.
"saying that during her confirmation hearing that she would not enter an order of execution if she were a federal trial judge because it would conflict with Catholic Church teaching."
So much for being impartial and ruling only based on the law. I didn't even know about this case and I could already tell she was a liar.
" Members are supposed to consult their head on nearly every aspect of their lives—from raising children to buying a car. A woman’s personal head is her husband, and women aren’t allowed into serve in top leadership roles in the community. "
Wait, she's not allowed to serve in a leadership role in her own community, and must answer to her "head" in all things. Are we putting her on the Supreme Court, or are we putting her husband, or her priest, or who in that position?
" People of Praise often live close together and unmarried people sometimes live with a married couple. There are specific courtship rituals—dating isn’t allowed until a member has been thoroughly counseled by a head. It’s positively socialist in many ways, as members are required to tithe at least 5 percent of their earnings, share property, and submit their family budgets to their head. "
Holy shit the alarm bells are so loud right now. Modern "courtship" is such a toxic practice, and forcing people to submit their budgets for the church to review is horribly controlling. This isn't a "cult-like" group, it is a fucking cult.
“There is a strong emphasis on the manly, occasionally to the point of ridiculing the ‘wimp.’”
And toxic masculinity confirmed!
“According to a teaching that has been circulating among the community heads, women are by nature manipulative,” he recounts. “This is one of the effects of Original Sin on them. The wise husband will factor this into his relationship with his wife, recognizing that much of what she does is insincere. To deal with this, the husband should distrust her motives and instead draw closer to his head and the men in his men’s group.”
Again, if her own chosen religion does not trust her? Why should anyone else? Why are we putting someone on the court who believes herself to be, by nature, manipulative?
TL;DR Republicans are about to put a cult member on the Supreme Court.
