Snark Infested provides photos from this years Red Mass (Mass for lawyers), where all six of the Catholic Supreme Court Justices of the United States were in attendance I believe:
Reports from the ground indicate that yes (as picture above) - the most recent Supreme Court confirmation, Sonia Sotomayor, was in attendance (even though I hear she has not attended Mass in years), as was Catholic Vice-President Joe Biden. The homily was preached by Cardinal DiNardo of
Galveston-Houston (update -
here is the full text of Cardinal DiNardo's homily).
Notably, no mention of the duty of judges to uphold the natural law teaching on Traditional (i.e., heterosexual) marriage was mentioned, which I think is dissapointing considering our political climate.
Cardinal Rigali, meanwhile, issued a "
powerful statement" on Respect Life Sunday.
Did your priest preach on life issues this previous Sunday?
