Anti-Democratic...

Yes, please, get them all off the bench. Their absence would do more to advance the judicial system than pretty much anything else. If they value the opinions of some ex-Nazi in a dress and pointy hat over democracy they should resign immediately.

The Catholic Church has always been anti-Democracy. There's no trace of it in the Church itself. In their view Democracy is so messy after all, for when people have the freedom to make up their own mind, they sometimes make decisions that disagree with the Pope. We can't have that, can we? It's nice that they've issued a statement that so encapsulates this fact that anyone with a love for Democracy would have to be a complete moron not to understand it. If you love Democracy you cannot be a Catholic, that should seal it pretty well.
