I was 11 when the Germans invaded Holland. I remember seeing the planes flying overhead and sensing the great agitation of my parents. I thought we might get bombed or we might not get enough food, but the idea that we faced another threat because we were Jewish didn’t even enter my head. My mother was a Parisian Catholic, and although my father had registered us as Jewish in Amsterdam in 1938 — he wanted us to be part of the Jewish community, like the rest of his Dutch family — my older sister and I weren’t really brought up as Jewish. – Jacqueline van MaarsenRate it:
The protection of freedom of religion in America is a fundamental principle of our country so whether you are Christian, you are Jewish, you are Muslim, you are Catholic, you are black, you are brown, you are white -- if you are born in this country, if you uphold Constitution, if you have the vision, if you are fit to lead, you can lead irrespective of your faith tradition. – Nihad AwadRate it:
When I consecrate a new church in the Archdiocese, I often point to the altar and explain that the altar in every Catholic Church is the center of the universe, because Christ is the center of history. – Francis Cardinal George, OMIRate it:
...Henri IV of France wisecracked that there were three things that nobody believed: that Archduke Albert was a good general, that he (Henri) was a good Catholic and the Queen of England was a virgin..."

A comprehensive investigation by the Office of Attorney General found widespread sexual abuse of children and a systematic coverup by leaders of the Catholic Church. – Josh ShapiroRate it:
According to that research, the scale of sexual abuse in the public schools is nearly 100 times greater than that of the Catholic Church, the question for critics who seek to downplay the extent of public-school sexual abuse is this: How many arrests need to happen before you consider it a problem? How many children need to be sexually abused by teachers before you consider it a crisis? – Christopher RufoRate it:
Adding to strife at the convention was the last minute addition of Vice President Pence, the self-titled Evangelical Catholic who invited himself to speak. One member offered a motion to disinvite the vice president. What is said in Washington echoes around the world and having him - Mr. Pence - come further hinders our work, the member said. During his speech, Pence stressed a message of prayer but also a fair dose of politics,listing the administration's accomplishments including the recent summit in North Korea.He then asked for members continued support. As I stand before you today I say with confidence,jobs are back, confidence is back...and under President Donald Trump. – Southern Baptists believing the BibleRate it:
Adopting a law that legalizes abortion in a Catholic country as big as Argentina will energize the struggle to ensure women’s rights in Latin America, although there will certainly be resistance, I think it’s fair to predict that, as it occurred when Argentina legalized same sex marriage in 2010, this new law could have a domino effect in the region. – Juan PappierRate it:
Alfredo Barnechea and Veronika Mendoza have openly said that they favor abortion and gay marriage. A Catholic cannot vote for those candidates. It's a sin! – Del RioRate it:
All my work was informed by my years in Catholic school, all that redemption, damnation, all the Martin Scorsese films. ... As I got older I stopped fighting against it. Now I draw on it and enjoy it. Theres no greater well to draw on than myths of Catholicism. Everything is in there. – Bruce SpringsteenRate it:
All the church interior scenes were shot in Belgium and Luxembourg, lyon is extremely Catholic. – Francois OzonRate it:
As a Catholic, I'm against abortion, but ideally the Church would allow more options for women who want to prevent getting pregnant in the first place, it feels like we have little protection against Zika, that government efforts to stop it are not working, so those of us too scared to get pregnant with this illness out there have no other option but to go against the Church. – Debora MarianoRate it:
As a lifelong Catholic, I have always been pro-life. As a Catholic, I do not support abortion, however, we can not have an outright ban. There must be exceptions in the case of rape, incest and danger to the life of the mother, additionally, my faith does not allow me to support extreme positions such as late term or partial birth abortions. My faith is clear : abortion must be rare safe. – Henry CuellarRate it:
As a mother, as a Catholic, as a person of conscience, I don't want children ripped from their parents. – Kellyanne ConwayRate it:

As a Roman Catholic, he's the head of the Church, he's the successor of Peter -- is what I believe -- and I have tremendous respect and admiration for him, i haven't seen his statement, but I'm an elected official in the United States of America in the federal government, and our number one obligation is to keep people safe and our immigration system is a part of that. – Florida Sen. Marco RubioRate it:
As he arrived in Ireland Pope Francis has once again missed another opportunity to seriously and concretely tell the world what he is going to do about the child sexual abuse and cover up crisis, this crisis is a global crisis. It not only effects Ireland, where there has been so much suffering, but in every corner of the globe where the Catholic Church is present. – Peter IselyRate it:

Being Catholic and being a Santero is not a contradiction for them. It is for us, although the Santeria religion uses Christian symbols, they're empty of Christian content. – Gilbert WalkerRate it:
Bogren was a good sacrificial lamb for this campaign, because his nomination was the product of a compromise with the Democrats, so he didn't have a Republican senator or constituency to fight for him, it's a shame, though, that Josh Hawley demagogued the issue, not only attacking Bogren for vigorously representing a client, but for wildly misrepresenting the arguments Bogren made on behalf of his client to falsely make him look like an anti-Catholic bigot. – David BernsteinRate it:
But I have a lot of friends who are not Catholic, and for them it also has a huge impact. – Gaetane SchliengerRate it:
