"We now hear that to criticize a judicial nominee's faith-based opposition to abortion is "religious bigotry,..."

Not quite. It is more when a judicial nominee's affirmation of his religion's doctrine that abortion is immoral is argued to be a disqualification for office. It amounts to a religious test for officeholders that is unconstitutional itself.

@MJ:

I'll buy that when one potential elected or appointed politician finally stands up and says "I'm an atheist" and still manages to get the job. If there's a religious litmus test, it's clearly favors those who, at least espouse, belief.

My impression is that nothing brings more people to Jesus than running an election campaign.

Cathy's departure will reduce the already low level of ideological diversity on the Boston Globe Op Ed page. When the Globe was forced to lay off a columnist, they discarded 1 of their 2 non-liberals.
