"For the Christian church as a whole, this is one of those crucible moments, where we are tested to see whether we will be true to Jesus or succumb to the lure of amoral powers. Will we be the church of the papal princes like Alexander VI, the church of bigoted influencers like Fr. Charles Coughlin? Or, conversely, will we be the church of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Oscar Romero and Servant of God Thea Bowman?"

"It's not the 1960s anymore. Catholics are not a persecuted minority in the United States. We are a powerful political force. This force can be wielded for justice or for injustice, and Catholics need to come to grips with the fact that the tale of institutional Catholicism working against justice is woven through our 2,000-year history, globally and in the United States."

"This is not a matter of anti-Catholic vs. Catholic. It is, rather, a struggle for the soul of the church, a clash between those who wish to weaponize religion for domination, and those who want it to be a source of healing and liberation. …

Flirting with authoritarianism is, in a sense, part of the Catholic tradition — the part that far right radical traditionalists want to reclaim."

"Let's not forget that white Catholics helped get Trump elected, and that high-powered, well-funded Catholic groups are intimately involved in the MAGA movement, and have been orchestrating and manipulating it. Despite the MAGA movement's innate sexism, conservative Catholic women influencers have worked, both covertly and overtly, to promote Trump."

Their attack on democracy is an attack on members of minority communities they seek to other, to represent as different from and lesser from those who should by natural and divine law dominate everyone else.

Alito is a prime example. It should not be forgotten that Alito's wife — obviously with his complicity and approval — has fantasized about flying flags attacking LGBTQ people.

These are folks — the right-wing Catholic bloc controlling the Supreme Court are folks — actively hostile to all sorts of minority groups.

Rebecca Bratten Weiss's article about the MAGA split within the US Catholic church is timely, in light of the fact that a bloc of Supreme Court justices controlled by right-wing integralist Catholics, most witwh strong ties to the secretive, wealthy, theocratic-aspiring Catholic cult Opus Dei, have just gutted the Voting Rights Act.

This bloc is actively working to undermine democracy.

As Lauren Egan notes, with upcoming empty seats on the Supreme Court anticipated, "the possibility of a Supreme Court confirmation fight has been the subject of rampant chatter among the Washington political class."

"In conjunction with other conservative justices (notably Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and Kennedy), Roberts began reshaping long-standing jurisprudence by expanding and contracting the 'strike zone' at will—" (continued in /5)

"The memos leaked to the NYTimes confirm what many court observers have long believed: that Roberts is manipulating the rules of the Court to advance his personal and political beliefs, which are centered around a conservative, pro-business, white Christian worldview."

"The scoop highlights the conservative justices’ brazen disregard for their own rules — both then and now — and the ways in which they are now ignoring the concerns that allegedly animated their action a decade ago."

A mí, no sé, antes de ir a salvar #mujeres del #machismo de otros paises, o decir que no sé quién no puede llevar velo (que las tocas no no nos tocan los #cojones, por lo que sea) me plantearía no financiar a #OpusDei con colegios concertados. Y otras movidas de #favor. Se me ocurre, no sé, llámame #radical. Y mira que no hablo de #religion. Que no se financie, que cada quien se pague sus #rituales. Y que se investigue a esta como una #secta.

@wdlindsy

Great informative article!

Thanks for sharing.

"after the investigation, these public prosecutors concluded that there were absolutely grounds to charge the group with #HumanTrafficking and serious labour offences. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Since the #Argentina allegations have come out, we’ve had more #women coming forward in places like #Ireland, #Mexico, #France, #Spain."

#Total #Immunity Chief Justice John Roberts described the #ruleoflaw as #endangered and warned against “trashing the #justices." “The notion that rule of law governs is the basic proposition,” Roberts said during appearance at Georgetown Law. “Certainly as a matter of theory, but also as a matter of practice, we need to stop and reflect every now and then how rare that is, certainly rare throughout history, and rare in the world today.” #OpusDei has regrets, nah. #trump https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/12/chief-justice-roberts-speech-georgetown-00343406

@skydog @marcelias "Originalism" is a knockout pretense, synonymous to planned subversion, to attack primarily the Reconstruction Amendments, particularly the 14th A, which many essential liberalizing decisions of the last century were based on.

Which in turn didn't find the consent of Federalist Society's dark-billions-juggling Leonard "Dr No" Leo, who is an extraordinarily active opponent of all things liberalism (not only) in the judiciary, & who regrettably was given the opportunity to select too many judges & justices in the U.S.

#RuleOfLaw #SeparationOfPowers #SeparationOfChurchAndState #OpusDei #InvestigateLeonardLeo

@Itchy Damn right: Leonard Leo, Knight of Malta isn't talked about & investigated enough for his subversive activities undermining & obstructing prior SCOTUS decisions relating to Americans' civil & human rights & in the long run plotting to establish a different kind of government, being closer to an autocratic/theocratic regime.

Eastman previously chaired the National Organization for Marriage, an anti-gay outfit determined to roll back rights for LGBTQ Americans (and LGBTQ people elsewhere in the world). NOM, previously led by Maggie Gallagher, also Catholic, and connected to another leading anti-LGBTQ Catholic activist Robert P. George, has long had close ties to the US Catholic bishops.
