"One of us!" Catholics are happy that the guy who is incompetent, dangerous and will be responsible for the death of millions got confirmed as the secretary of HHS. You know, the guy who visited Samoa to promote baseless lies about the polio vaccine, resulting in a polio outbreak that killed over 80 children.
This is how they see it:
Yeah, they don't like medicine directed by ideology, but it just so happens that they consider the abortion pill and any kind of assisted dying to be unacceptable.

Quote:Catholics hopeful on abortion, health policy after Kennedy’s confirmation as HHS secretary
Prominent U.S. Catholics are expressing optimism after Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), following an arduous confirmation process which saw him challenged on several issues key to the Catholic Church.
Kennedy, himself a professed Catholic, took the most heat from Democratic senators for his views on vaccines. But some Catholics have praised Kennedy’s commitment to vaccine safety.
Sister Deidre Byrne, who was denied a religious exemption to the COVID-19 vaccination mandate for health care workers in August of 2021, told CNA that “speaking both as a physician and religious,” she was “thrilled” by Kennedy’s confirmation.
“Medically, I agree with [Kennedy’s] concerns,” Byrne, who is widely known as Sister Dede, said via email. She cited “vaccines and the lack of proper research, and then forcing, for example, the COVID-19 vaccine, which had no scientific basis behind it and [has] injured thousands.”
Byrne expressed gratitude over Kennedy’s pledge to conduct studies on the safety of abortion pills such as mifepristone, which were partially deregulated under the Biden administration.
“Now they are giving this abortion pill online without a physician's evaluation or ultrasound,” she said, describing the practice as “extremely dangerous and malpractice.”
“So I thank God for President Trump and I thank God that [Kennedy] was confirmed to run HHS,” Byrne concluded.
Catholic Medical Association (CMA), echoed Byrne, “The Catholic Medical Association looks forward to working closely with the Trump administration and Secretary Kennedy in a shared mission to promote and protect ethical medicine. CMA is committed to foundational principles of health care: the inherent dignity of every human life from conception to natural death; the biological reality of two sexes; and, the protection of conscience rights and religious freedom for health care professionals.”
“We are anxious to see Secretary Kennedy’s attention to correcting HHS policies that have been in direct conflict with optimal and rational health care methods over the past several years. It is time to return to medicine practiced as it should be, and not directed by ideology.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
