Pentagon to Bannon's Blackwater Buddy Erik Prince: GTFO

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

15. Not Scientology. Catholicism

At least, a particular branch of Catholicism as interpreted by crusading defenders of "Western Culture."

Stephen K. Bannon, President Donald Trump’s chief strategist, grew up in a working-class suburb of Richmond, Va. He attended Benedictine College Preparatory, a Catholic military school, where he and his peers viewed rivals from wealthier prep schools with disdain. “We were the blue-collar guys,” recalls a school friend of Mr. Bannon in Joshua Green’s “Devil’s Bargain.” “They were the rich snobs. They’d always do the employer-employee joke at us: ‘When you grow up, you’ll work for us.’ And we’d punch ’em in the nose.” …

Mr. Bannon’s cultural conservatism — rooted, Mr. Green suggests, in the deeply traditionalist Catholicism in which he was raised — didn’t seem like a perfect fit for a libertine real-estate mogul and reality TV star. Mr. Trump, moreover, is notoriously averse to slovenly attire, and Mr. Bannon often gives the appearance of having just awakened from a night on a park bench.
