Catholic Activist Dismayed by Media's Invective of Nominee Roberts' Religion

(AgapePress) - The leader of a Catholic religious and civil rights group is pointing it didn't take long for critics of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts to drag religion into the debate. He accuses on online magazine that is seldom friendly to Catholics of "playing the Catholic card" in early attempts to undermine the nominee's chances for confirmation.

Supreme Court nominee John Roberts and his wife, Jane, are Roman Catholics. He attended Catholic elementary and high schools in Indiana, and now is a parishioner at a Catholic church near the couple's home in Maryland. Jane Roberts is on the board of governors of the John Carroll Society, a Catholic lay group that sponsors a Mass every year before the start of the new Supreme Court term. In addition, she was on the board of directors for Feminists for Life from 1995 to 1999 and at one time was its executive vice president. She currently does pro bono legal work for the organization.
