Right wing Evangelical/Dominionism aka Christo Fascism is threat to all of us.

Dominion theology (also known as Dominionism) is a group of Christian political ideologies that seek to institute a nation which is governed by Christians and based on their understandings of biblical law. (wiki)

Thomas, Roberts, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsch, and Coney Island are all Catholics and many of them
consider themselves to be Catholic Dominionists.

according to his bio he now attends an Episcopal church. That denomination, however, is very much pro-choice and pro-LGBT, and is generally pretty liberal, so I wonder if he hasn't gone back to the right-wing Catholics.

Gorsuch was born and spent his early life in Denver, Colorado, then lived in Bethesda, Maryland, while attending Georgetown Preparatory School. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University, a Juris Doctor from Harvard University, and after practicing law for 15 years, received a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Law from the University of Oxford, which he attended as a Marshall Scholar. His doctoral thesis concerned the morality of assisted suicide, under the supervision of the Catholic legal philosopher John Finnis. wiki

I think something like 2 or 3 Justices attended Georgetown Prep.

Georgetown Preparatory School (also known as Georgetown Prep) is a Jesuit college-preparatory school in North Bethesda, Maryland for boys in ninth through twelfth grade. It has a 93-acre (380,000 square meters) campus.[5] With an annual tuition of $56,665 in 2015, it is the 4th most expensive boarding school in the United States.[3] It is the only Jesuit boarding school in the United States and is in the district of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington. wiki
