Worth noting that Team Leonard Leo Opus Dei runs DC. Supreme Court, Heritage and rightwing Opus Dei sympathetic Catholics, including JD makeup 38% of trump’s cabinet.

But Wapo, NYT, ProPublica, Vox, Politico, Mother Jones refuse to report on it.

Catholics make up about 20% of US population.

MAGA Team Leonard Leo - Catholics about 10%

6 out of 9 - 66.6% of Supreme Court

9 out of 24 - 37% of trump cabinet.

Leonard Leo says Catholics are being persecuted and marginalized in culture and politics - the victims of broken people & Satan.
