  • WASHINGTON (CNS) — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Who Died Sept
    WASHINGTON (CNS) — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Sept. 18 at age 87, has been described in countless tributes as a cultural icon and a giant despite her small size. “Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice,” said Chief Justice John Roberts in a statement released by the court. Ginsburg was surrounded by her family at her home in Washington when she died from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer. The second woman appointed to the court, who served there for more than 27 years, is primarily remembered for her pioneering work for gender equality and for writing pointed dissents and asking tough questions. In anti-death penalty and pro-immigrant opinions, she sided with Catholic Church leaders, but she differed with them in her support for legalized abortion, same-sex marriage and the mandate that contraception be covered in all health insurance plans. Ginsburg, who was Jewish, had a framed passage from the Book of Deuteronomy on her chamber wall: “Justice, justice you shall pursue.” “I am a judge, born, raised and proud of being a Jew,” she told the American Jewish Committee after her 1993 appointment to the court by President Bill Clinton. “The demand for justice runs through the entirety of Jewish history and Jewish tradition,” she said. Ginsburg had what many describe as an unlikely friendship — sealed with humor and a shared love of opera — with fellow Justice Antonin Scalia, a Catholic, who disagreed with her on many issues in the courtroom.

  • ¿Debe Estar Un Católico En El Tribunal Supremo?
    Progreso Semanal Nuestro mundo desde perspectivas progresistas http://progresosemanal.us ¿Debe estar un Católico en el Tribunal Supremo? Author : Archivo Progreso Date : 4 de agosto, 2005 Por Bill Press ¡Santa Madre de Dios! Los republicanos están jugando otra vez la carta del catolicismo. Apenas había nominado el Presidente Bush a John Roberts para el Tribunal Supremo cuando los seguidores ya habían advertido que cualquiera que se atreviera a cuestionar a Roberts por asuntos de fe sería acusado de prejuicio anti-católico. Bill Donahue, presidente de la Liga Católica, dijo: “Cualquier arañazo a esta área sugeriría de que existe una velada prueba religiosa al hacer preguntas acerca de sus profundas creencias. Nuestras antenas estarán listas.” Qué lástima. Adelante, acúsenme de prejuicio anti-católico. Pero como católico que soy de toda la vida, ex monaguillo y ex seminarista, digo: el catolicismo de Roberts puede ser cuestionado. Es absolutamente esencial que las creencias religiosas de Roberts sean parte del proceso de confirmación. Especialmente porque si es confirmado pudiera pertenecer al tribunal durante los próximos 35 años. Por favor, no estoy sugiriendo que un católico no puede estar en el Tribunal Supremo, de la misma manera que no sugeriría que un protestante, un judío o un musulmán no puedan pertenecer. De hecho Roberts se convertiría en el cuarto católico del tribunal, después de Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas y Anthony Kennedy. Pero es justo plantear la cuestión religiosa con Roberts sólo en el siguiente sentido: si se le pide a usted que decida acerca de un tema en el que su fe le dice una cosa y la ley le dice otra, ¿a cuál responde su lealtad? ¿A la Biblia o a la Constitución? Y para los católicos, esa pregunta no es hipotética.

  • Supreme Court Justices Attend Red Mass in Washington
    Supreme Court justices attend Red Mass in Washington WASHINGTON – Human beings are not fully alive until they live for something greater than themselves, said Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain at the 58th annual Red Mass celebrated at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington Oct. 2. “It is God who created us who makes us complete, and it is a life lived in humble union with the servant-Savior that literally does the most good,” the prelate said at the liturgy traditionally celebrated in the nation’s capital the day before the opening of the U.S. Supreme Court’s new term. “It is love which makes the using of one’s gifts perfect,” Archbishop Sartain said. “It is love which manifests the presence of God in our personal and public lives.” He urged the 1,400 people at the Mass – many of them public servants – to live life for others. “A sound soul in a sound body makes for a balanced life, a life of integrity. And such sound, healthy living in lives that are given to public service lift up and transform society,” he added. Although the faithful can “barely grasp” the depth of God’s humility and the greatness of God’s love, holiness is a life committed to discipleship – that which sets the standard for service, Archbishop Sartain noted. “We who are here this day know that it is from God that we come and toward God we are headed,” the archbishop said. “The vineyard is his, we are his, and the people we serve are his.” The archbishop delivered his homily to members of the Supreme Court, President Barack Obama’s Cabinet and Congress.
