“Dogma” to Catholics refers to a truth revealed by God and taught by the Church for the benefit of the faithful. For Catholics, deviating from dogma is prohibited. But to Senate Democrats, adhering to dogma is verboten.

“The dogma lives loudly in you, and that’s of concern.” That’s how Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, attacked Amy Barrett, a nominee for the court of appeals and a faithful Catholic mother of seven.
