The country was built on Protestant principles, not Catholic. There are too many Catholics as is on the court (there is currently only one Protestant). Unfortunately Protestant groups are almost as subverted as the Catholics.
The problem with Catholics is that they have always had the institutional vice of wanting to matter politically. That makes many of them (especially in leadership) sacrifice on important issues when it comes to saving public face or catering to the zeitgeist of the day. And looking at the current Pope... does indeed not inspire confidence.
Not too happy about it. She's got 3 strikes as far as I'm concerned. 1. Female, 2. Catholic, 3. poor black kid adoptions. Hard pass.
