Over at Mirror of Justice (where else?) there’s been a recent conversation, occasioned by the ALL’s statement on AG , on…well, the headline there says it pretty clearly.

From Robert Araujo:

But let me make a suggestion about what should the Catholic judge do? If the text is clear but presents grave moral questions, the Catholic judge might be able to recuse himself or herself from the case. The judge can also resign to protect his or her conscience. There are still other alternatives. A Catholic judge, like any other, is called to be a virtuous person and official. Some of us have already talked a bit about virtues and judicial office. I’ll suggest once more that they are crucial to the manner in which any judge conducts the exercise of judicial office.

But there remains some guidance from a Catholic perspective that can contribute to what the Catholic judge does in those cases involving matters like abortion, marriage, and emerging cases involving biomedical and biotechnology.
