If Coney-Barrett is confirmed there will be 6 nominal Catholics on the SCOTUS. Are we really sure these people aren't loyal to the Papacy? 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?
