Some former members of the religious group People of Praise say Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett's affiliation with the organization should be examined during her Senate confirmation hearings. Others are thrilled with her nomination.

While it includes people from several Christian denominations, most of its members are Roman Catholic.

Coleman’s husband grew up in the community and when they were dating, she agreed to go “underway,” a multiyear process that members undertake before signing the covenant. Coleman said People of Praise offers a strong sense of community that is often missing in modern secular life, and that can be a powerful draw.

Particularly notable is that Barrett would be replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who in her career stood against practices such as women not being able to get credit cards in their own names. Mary Belton thinks Barrett’s history with People of Praise is disqualifying. Belton was in 8th grade, around 1990, when she says her family was cast out after her mother came out as gay. She said the community they had been so close to in South Bend then shunned them.

“It’s worrisome. It’s who she is,” Belton said. “Anyone that I know, including myself, that has grown up in it and has left has had to go through a huge transformation and rewiring of your personhood, of your brain, of your soul and spirit.” “They are specifically attempting to influence politics and power in the United States,” Wood said. “This is to me why Amy Coney Barrett is so dangerous, because could not have a bigger win than landing a Supreme Court justice for life.”

Keep Religion out of decision making as for her being a Judicial SCOTUS just as she does when she puts on the Robe and picks up the Gavel to lay down the Law. Everyone is only giving her a hard time because Pres. Trumps name mentioned.

Long live the Notorious ACB! She will make a great addition to the US Supreme Court.

How do you examine a religion when we suppose to have a secular gvt.

FakeNewsMedia targeting a woman for her religious beliefs, how inclusive of them.

She's not friends with Gay people.. that's for sure..

Some catholic. She already lied on her senate disclosure paperwork

If she gets confirmed, it's welcome back to the 19th century. Decades of progress destroyed.

To question her religion is a stark violation of the Constitution forbidding using a religious test to ascertain worthiness of a potential candidate. I think Jefferson wrote that one and was quoted by JFK, the first Catholic president. Religion is OFF LIMITS to judge anyone.

Shes part of a cult. The fastest way to living in Gilead is letting her on the supreme court for life

The AP is garbage and should be banned. We don't allow automatic weapons, despite the 2nd amendment, so we can ban you too. Dishonest media undermine our constitution.

Religion has no place in politics! The First Amendment guarantees separation of church and state. If someone cannot keep their religious views from interfering with decisions as a SC judge, they have no business being on the Supreme Court. Keep your religious views to yourself!

You know what - American ppl should vote on SCOTIS nominees, by popular vote. AmyComeyBarrett NoSCOTUSVote for MitchMcConnell MoscowMitch MerrickGarland merrickgarlandrule

Give me a break..... there'll be no hearing, no review of her qualifications, just a vote to confirm as bought by the POS in chief.

Really, AP?

Oh, I’m sure they are.

Ugh.

Say this sort of thing about Ilhan Omar and reap the whirlwind of double standards

I have two questions for AmyConeyBarrett; Can you uphold the separation of 'church and state' when you can't separate it personally? Based on past statements will you recuse yourself from any case involving abortion and if not, why not?

All you need to know about her is that she's an abusive mother, which makes her nothing but a big hypocrite.

No masks. Poor judgment.

This woman is very dangerous for the history, values, and future of the US.

JonLemire Profound.

Shes extremely UNDERQUALIFIED for the job first of all. Its like taking a warehouse shift leader with a year experience and making them CEO of Amazon. Ridiculous. Second, she's completely nuts. That's not hyperbole. She's legitimately off her rocker.

JonLemire

FORMER? why not ask one that is a member and stop with the BS

AP now falling into the biased media group. Bad when good is called evil and the evil minions come out with their demented slanderous claims.

Amy Coney Barrett is just a bad pick. To borrow a line from Trump...'I know it; and you all know it'. Rushing her through the process is the GOP's way of pushing her past the front door of a private party where she wasn't formally invited.

Liberals today reveal themselves to be bigots and sexists.

MRSmithAP I am trying to imagine you doing such a religiously hateful story on Muslim women whose husbands take them shopping while they are covered everywhere but their eyes.

Chris Wallace has moved to the left! Chris is no longer a moderate. This was very apparent today when he interviewed Laura Trump. It seems okay when the mob riots in the streets without masks but when our president has a gathering where some are without he’s a spreader!

Every registered voter needs to do their duty and vote nazi trump and the corrupt republicans out of office in November. When nazi trump and the corrupt republicans lose the American people win.

'Some former member...' You folks think we're so stupid.

Can't help but wonder much did they donated to Kyle Rittenhouse's GoFundMe

Let her have her religion, it’s her right. Just keep it out of the decision making of the courts and government.

JonLemire The Hand Maidens have spoken! Or were allowed to to speak🙄

What does Amy think about the commercial use of medically harvested fetal tissue?

Ha! She couldn’t cut it as a foot maiden!

Those eyes 👀 They are screaming for therapy

Sister Mary Elephant Barrett will be a cancer on the Supreme Court.

Open up those flood gates and then all religions can be put under examination.

Let the hit jobs begin.....

I didn’t know that one needs to be atheist to be a justice on the SCOTUS. We should go back and reconfirm everyone that’s currently there then. While we are at it, did RBG’s Jewish background have anything to do with her view on things? Maybe we should throw everything out!

Religious group? I think the proper word you're looking for is cult.

Agree Mona with you 💯 percent

If she's not embarrassed about her ties to them and they aren't embarrassed of what they stand for, why all the scrubbing of information from their websites about their affiliation? Why the need for secrecy? You would think they would be PROUD.

Too many cults associated with this administration*

Nice non news story. Nobody gives a shit

the senate didn't care about a drunkard rapist - doubt they'll care about a religious nut.

Oh don’t worry everything and more will be examined. The Dems will leave nothing in their bag of goodies and tricks ... it’s all coming out but it won’t matter ... she will be a Supreme Court justice for life and I’m happy about that

Too bad for the Associated Press bigots, but the Constitution outlaws religious tests for federal office.

Bigots love bigots

Her faith is irrelevant. If the left would pass well written laws they should have no fear of who sits on the court.
