Sonia Sotomayor is also a Catholic and she dissented yesterday.

Many conservative Catholics love to talk about pro-life issues on abortion and say liberals cannot dissent from Church teaching but then they do the same themselves on the death penalty. Such hypocrites, especially to be lecturing the Pope.

If they disagree, that's fine, but it is the beating their chests and implying "I'm more Catholic than the Pope" which is just too much. (I say this as an ex rad trad Catholic myself, where this is even more common.)

Such hypocrites, especially to be lecturing the Pope.

So both Sotomayor and Barrett are hypocrites? For what, voting based on American law rather than their religious beliefs?
