I saw Painter on Tucker Carlson. Bless his heart.

I also saw that D. Feinstein is really against Barrett. DF is wrong about almost everything else so...

I have been reading up on it and it definitely seems sketchy. I've found threads from ten years ago where former members were claiming it is a cult.

When was the last time the media was right about anything involving Trump?

Is she still heavily involved in it?

Any church can be seen as a cult. Parishioners tend to live near each other. I hang out with priests, deacons, and lay people from my church. We give money to our church. What's the big deal?

You’re a self professed communist. Your politic is your religion.

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” That’s your saviors mantra. About as cultist as one can get. Why would you have a problem with Barrett?

I am not a communist. I am a socialist the democratic socialist kind. The Catholic Worker Movement by Dorothy Day along with many Protestants have been supportive of a Christian, non-Marxist approach to socialism.

Just say it's a Muslim religious group and watch how fast the MSM shut up about it.

Is she associated with one of the "charismatic Catholic" movements? I don't think so.

Go ahead and be honest in the way you finish this statement, Ralph:

So the left are calling Catholics "Cult" members.
1. I would never describe Catholicism as a cult.
2. I had never heard of People of Praise.
3. The desription in the opening post DOES sound a bit “cultish.”
4. Entirely possible that description is exaggerated.

People of Praise has its roots in Pentecostalism. In fact, it was started by them and for some strange reasons has become 80 percent Catholic. I am all in favor of lay catholic communities. There are a lot of them. There is a very large lay Franciscan society that is definitely NOT a cult. That provides fellowship, community, and spiritual guidance and spiritual growth.

From what I gather People of Praise borders on cult-like activity. Now there should not be a religious test for public service unless a person's religion interferes with their public duties. The person should leave public service or refuse herself.

So what. She can be a survivor of the heavens gate cult for all I care.

Sotomayor has ties to La Raza. Apparently past affiliations don’t matter anymore.

When you really think about these things outside of the overtly foreboding context that critics try to frame them with, it's really not that strange.
