(Crux) Anyone familiar with Catholic social teaching knows it’s often not a good fit for the left v. right dynamics of American culture, and we got an-other reminder of the point on Tues-day night with President Donald Trump’s pick of Neil Gorsuch, an Episcopalian, as the next associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Considered a reliable conservative on most issues, Gorsuch seems likely to align with the Catholic Church’s positions on many matters but create possible heartburn on others. That’s assuming, of course, he survives what could be a bruising fight to approve his nomination in the U.S. Senate. Gorsuch is a strong admirer of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, whom he’s referred to as a “lion of the law” and whose seat Gorsuch would inher-it, and most observers expect he would play a role on the court similar to the one Scalia occupied, emerging as a strong intellectual voice for a strict reading of the constitution. At just 49, Gorsuch would be positioned to sit on the Supreme Court for a long time, potentially decades. Born in Denver but raised in Washington, Gorsuch has a stellar intellectual pedigree, featuring de-grees from Colombia, Harvard and Oxford. (At Oxford he studied under Australian legal philospher John

Finnis, who converted to Catholicism in 1962, who’s drawn on St. Thomas Aquinas in his work, who later be-came a member of the Vatican’s In-ternational Theological Commission and whose work there is believed to

have influenced St. Pope John Paul II’s 1993 encyclical Veritatis Splen-dor on the importance of moral abso-lutes.) From a Catholic point of view, Gorsuch’s strong support for religious freedom will strike many as attractive. As a judge, Gorsuch sided with Chris-tian employers and religious organiza-tions in the cases of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and Zubik v. Burwell, the main legal challenges to the Obama admin-istration’s contraception mandates, with the latter involving the Little Sisters of the Poor and other Catholic groups. In the Hobby Lobby case, Gor-such wrote, “The Affordable Care

(SCOTUS concluded..) Act’s mandate requires [such groups] to violate their religious faith by forcing them to lend an impermissible degree of assistance to conduct their religion teaches to be gravely wrong.” In a dissent in the 2007 case Summum v. Pleasant Grove City, Gorsuch found that displaying a reli-gious monument, such as the Ten Commandments, did not obligate a governmental authority to display other offered monuments, such as those from other religions. In Yellowbear v. Lampert in 2014, Gorsuch said that prison officials vio-lated the religious rights of Andrew Yellowbear, who is of Native Ameri-can descent, by preventing him access to the sweat lodge, which is critical to his faith. In broad strokes, Gorsuch also seems opposed to the idea of using the courts to achieve social change that has not been accomplished through the political process. For instance, he’s said that Ameri-can liberals’ “overweening addiction” to using the courts for social debate is “bad for the nation and bad for the judiciary.” He cited three issues of direct Catholic interest as examples - gay marriage, school vouchers and assisted suicide. In a 2006 book called The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia, he argued for “retaining the laws ban-ning assisted suicide and euthanasia based on the idea that all human be-ings are intrinsically valuable and the intentional taking of human life by private persons is always wrong.” He also said that “to act intention-ally against life is to suggest that its value rests only on its transient instru-mental usefulness for other ends.” Gorsuch has not been involved in any rulings that bear directly on the status of Roe v. Wade, but most believe him sympathetic to the pro-life argument.

Question of the Week

5th Sunday Matthew 5:13-16

Key Passage: “Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”

Question for adults: What does it mean to recognize the Spirit of God in your actions? How has that understanding helped others to glorify God?

Question for children: What good things do you do that help your friends want to be good too?
