text: "Archbishop William Lori, chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Religious Liberty issued a statement that fretted, 'Were the comments of the Senators meant as a warning shot to future law students and attorneys, that they should never discuss their faith in a public forum, if they have aspirations to serve in the federal judiciary?' "
  This struck me as ironic, since it was the USCCB that politicized the church so much that senators feel obligated to insure catholic nominees are not puppets of their bishops. It is reinforcement by the bishops that continues this same old prejudice.
