If RGB is gone and Coney-Barrett is confirmed, there will be 6 Catholics on the court.
Many are connected to Jesuit institutions. Is their Catholicism a moral or political fact?
Are they loyal to the Papacy or to the US Constitution, and real Christian faith??????
If you think this question about loyalty to the Papacy is absurd, or not a real issue, you don't know what Jesuits are.
Furthermore you have not learned about the origins of Washington D.C. which used to be the town of Rome. The Potomac River was called the Tiber. When Washington D.C. was founded, it was called "Rome on the Potomac" and there was a massive international Catholic influence...
You must read judge Dale's, The Great American Adventure.
Do the research.
Current Catholics
-
John Roberts
-
** Sonia Sotomayor** ( is publically a Catholic but many consider her a "crypto-jew". Given what we know, is there a difference?)
-
Neil Gorsuch (was raised a Catholic, studied with a famous Catholic scholar of law, John Finnis, although now his family goes to an Episcopal Church in Colorado. Remember Episcopals accept all the doctrines and rituals of Catholacism but is supposedly removed from the Papacy because it is the American version of the Church of England. Today England is unified with the Vatican and we are a long way from Henry VIII)
-
Clarence Thomas
-
Brett Kavanaugh
-
Amy Coney-Barrett
I am not prejudiced against any decent practicing person of religion or traditional Catholicism as such. But unlike Protestantism, Catholicism is a political and moral institution.
Where are all the Protestants? Why are their no Protestants. Its all Catholics and Jews as many have pointed out? In an age in which we are obsessing with proportionate representation, this over-representation is totally disproportionate.
Any thoughts on Why? and What this means about their allegiances?

Catholic schools tend to have very strong educational foundations. So I think it's the educational foundation that is leading many towards positions requiring strong intellect.
As far as the indoctrination goes, its going to be hit or miss, depending on the person, just like anything else. If they learned anything at all, they should have gained a strong sense of right and wrong. But, if you teach a person HOW to think, don't expect them to follow too closely in your footsteps. They are more likely to blaze their own trail.
The greater danger is the indoctrination / lack of solid education that we are now seeing in the public school system. And the lack of a solid moral foundation.

Yes all very true and certainly part of the answer, but I don't think it is sufficient. Also you need to look into the power, funding and control of jesuit highschools in D.C. as well as of Georgetown itself.
