There are now six justices on the right wing who are either practicing Catholics (Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Barrett) or were raised Catholic (Neil Gorsuch, now an Episcopalian).

The Catholic justices who subscribe to Opus Dei are John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Amy Coney Barrett. I think Brett Kavanaugh has been leaning that way since being on the court.

And Neil Gorsuch was raised Catholic, and he's probably the one most likely to NOT be Opus Dei, but would, nevertheless, likely not appreciate Noam going after Catholic priests.
