About this sermon
A new book looks at the life of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words" explores the people and experiences that shaped Justice Thomas and his values, including one of the key influences in his life, his Catholic faith. Co-author of the book, Mark Paoletta, joins to tell us about Justice Clarence Thomas and his upbringing in segregated Georgia, especially the role religious sisters played in his childhood and spiritual journey. Long after Justice Thomas joined the Supreme Court in 1991 he kept in touch with the religious sisters. Paoletta shares more about that. He explains how Justice Thomas came close to entering the seminary and becoming a Catholic priest. On another note, a lot of anger from pro-abortion supporters has been focused on Justice Thomas and some of it has been explicitly racist. The author talks more about how Justice Thomas is handling the aftermath of the Dobbs decision. He fills us in on where people can find a copy of the book, or the movie that came out in 2020 about the justice. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
