4. Good Question

I would not be surprised if they begin to make some rulings along religious lines. They are smart enough to know that they need the right opportunity in order to do it. With my background I know how someone like Roberts and the rest think. I have had a very similar education. If Roberts and the others believe like I was taught they will be able to separate their beliefs from public policy.

In the Catholic view that I was taught the tendency was to "give to Caesar what is Caesars and to God what is Gods". What I mean by that is that in the view I was taught, public policy does not have to follow Catholic dogma. In conscience one could rule abortion as a legal right in the civil public policy arena. If he does not believe that then we could be in trouble.
