Opus Dei (a faction of the Catholic Church) has been and will continue to run the govt.

SCOTUS:
As of February 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court comprises the following six justices who identify as Catholic:

Chief Justice John Roberts

Justice Clarence Thomas

Justice Samuel Alito

Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Justice Brett Kavanaugh

Justice Amy Coney Barrett


Justice Neil Gorsuch was raised Catholic but currently attends an Episcopal church; it is unclear whether he still identifies as Catholic.

The remaining justices, Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, are Jewish and Protestant, respectively.

This composition reflects a significant Catholic presence on the Court, a trend that has been noted since the early 2000s.

Vought (OMB Director) and his asst.

Identifying members of Opus Dei within the Trump administration is challenging due to the organization's policy of not publicly disclosing its membership. However, several individuals associated with the administration have been linked to Opus Dei or its affiliated institutions:

William Barr: Served as Attorney General under President Trump. From 2014 to 2017, Barr was on the board of the Catholic Information Center (CIC) in Washington, D.C., an Opus Dei-affiliated institution. Opus Dei has denied that Barr is a member.

Pat Cipollone: Served as White House Counsel during the Trump administration. He has been associated with the CIC, which is linked to Opus Dei.

Leonard Leo: While not an official member of the Trump administration, Leo played a significant role in shaping the judiciary during Trump's tenure. He is a board member at the CIC and has been linked to Opus Dei.

It's important to note that direct confirmation of Opus Dei membership is rare, and associations are often inferred through involvement with affiliated organizations.

We'll all soon be living in a
capitalistic, fascist theocracy
.
Theocratic capitalism is an economic system where capitalist principles, such as private property and market competition, operate within a theocratic framework, meaning religious authorities or doctrines significantly influence economic policies and regulations. In such a system, religious values guide laws on business practices, labor rights, wealth distribution, and moral considerations in commerce. Examples can be seen in countries where Islamic finance principles shape banking or where religious leaders hold sway over economic policy decisions.




We're going to hell in a handbasket. Might as well enjoy the ride...

1. It is important to keep track of the players and name names.

[MrWowWow]

3. Absolutely!

Musk was baptized. Am still hunting for verifiable info as to his link to Opus Dei. That confirmation would complete my bingo card. Post what you have about this please!

8. I don't unfortunately know that much about Heritage Foundation and less about Opus Dei.

Like Free masons and other secret handshake groups, they are largely unknown.

2. A true Theocracy though would involve...

...people laying down their lives for others and loving their enemies like Jesus did.
Do you see MAGA doing either one of those things?

[MrWowWow]

6. Not yet

After the dust settles, Magats will deny that they knew eLOONAZI was going to tear the government a new asshole. They'll be homeless and hunkering down along the malaria creeks, picking crops for a bit of beans and rice. It'll be a red state nation of magats living hand to mouth. Till their last dying breath, they'll claim they didn't know.

7. It's a religion of white male supremacy and hatred of everyone else.

4. "The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion.

At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

5. It's not just Opus Dei, of course.

The Christo-fascist right will aggressively pursue its agenda the next four years.

9. Joe Biden is Catholic

As are many members of Congress including Nancy Pelosi and AOC.

10. Time for Pope Francis to denounce this.

11. I would be very, very, very surprised to hear

that Justice Sotomayor had even the tiniest association with Opus Dei.

Now, Catholics for Choice - that she might support. I would readily believe that.
