Religion and Judge Barrett

Stephen has recorded this podcast on the eve of the first Presidential debate. We’ve had fresh revelations via the New York Times regarding Donald Trump’s taxes. And soon Judge Amy Coney Barrett will undergo hearings. We stand at an unbelievably dramatic moment in American history. Stephen predicts that the Democrats are likely to use her faith as a weapon against her. For listeners unfamiliar with Judge Barrett’s faith, Stephen explains the Pentecostal/Charismatic tradition from which she comes. While we can hope for a Senate hearing that is high and elevated with conversation focusing on her jurisprudence, legal philosophy, and personal character, watch for the tone of religious bigotry.
