Supreme Court Justice Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg once attended a Catholic Red Mass (an annual Mass for lawyers) and found it to be “outrageously anti-abortion.” Ginsburg is Jewish, which is great. My grandfather was Jewish and I love him for it. I love my elder brothers and sisters in faith.
But this is something different. What did Ginsburg expect she would encounter at a Mass? Every Mass should be “outrageously anti-abortion”, not that abortion should come up at every Mass, but that associating the pro-life message with the Catholic faith should be expected, just like we expect to hear the name of Jesus at Mass. We would mock anyone who went to a Catholic Mass and found it to be “outrageously pro-Jesus.” What a silly thing to say. So sad, it’s not so obvious with life issues.
