Supreme Court Justice nominee Amy Coney Barrett informed those on the left that she takes her faith seriously; that being a judge was not a means to an end, but something that was about building the Kingdom of God. But, just what exactly does Justice Barrett’s faith consist of, being that she is not only Roman Catholic, but a Catholic involved in the charisma of the Pentecostal movement? Dr. Paul discusses the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement and the People of Praise Christian Community that she admits to being a part. It her “dogma lives loudly within” her, then what exactly does that mean and how will it affect her decision-making if confirmed to serve on the Supreme Court? Is she involved in a cult or is her allegiance to something that is simply another offshoot of mainstream Christianity? The answers may surprise you, as well as all of us, if she indeed does have the votes to take Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s place.
