Auth Accused of Anti-Catholic Sentiment

The Catholic pro-life group Fidelis has blasted a Tony Auth editorial cartoon that ran in the Philadelphia Inquirer last Friday that suggested the five justices that recently voted to uphold the ban on partial birth abortions were influenced by their faith. Fidelis was joined in their protest by The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. Although I give the protesters credit for name-dropping Thomas Nast and some of the reactionary anti-Catholic comics of the 19th Century, my gut says that this isn't as dire a statement as is being read into it.
