Six of SCOTUS are Catholic

Will TSF’s insults directed toward the Pope change how they decide cases?

(One is Sotomayor so we’re very unlikely to see a change in her case.)

Of Roe v Wade and other decisions.

They do not care one bit about religion or the pope.
Nor do they care about the USA or the American people.
Our democracy, constitution, or rule of law.

Opus Dei is bad news. Really bad news. Look them up if you have never heard of them.

As a teenager, I used to live for a while in Franco's Spain, so it was impossible NOT to have heard of them.
