Your legal career is but a means to an end, and... that end is building the kingdom of God.

Judges cannot - nor should they try to - align our legal system with the Church's moral teaching whenever the two diverge. They should, however, conform their own behavior to the Church's standard.

I would not want to leave the impression that I would give some precedents more weight than others because of some sort of academic disagreement.

It's never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge's personal convictions - whether they derive from faith or anywhere else - on the law.

I would never impose my own personal convictions upon the law.

A judge may never subvert the law or twist it in any way to match the judge's convictions.
