Does this mean that the Catholic Pope residing in the Vatican will have heavy influence on US Supreme Court Justice decisions?
Well, I certainly hope so!
So now we've got Chief Justice Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Gorsuch (who was a Catholic, but now attends an Episcopal church) and, soon, Kavanaugh. Plus Sotomayor. That's 5 1/2 Catholics. Kagan, Breyer and Ginsburg are Jews.
It would be best if Sotomayor would listen more to the Pope.
You obviously monitor the individual members of the USSC. Where is there any serious and formative [discussion] of religious belief systems that the USSC has?
