Off-limits: 62% oppose questions on Amy Coney Barrett’s religion — Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trumps nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, meets with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020. A new survey shows that most Americans do not want Barrett questioned about her Catholic faith.

At mass today, Catholics, including Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, heard the story of the wedding banquet that ends with Jesus saying, “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

As Barrett readies for her Senate confirmation hearings to begin Monday, she certainly could associate that parable with her situation, and her critics would like to dig into her thinking on Catholic philosophy and its impact on her legal outlook.
