A German princess, a cardinal, anti-LGBTQ activists, Catholic fundamentalist mullah Leonard Leo & his SCOTUS-six teaming up as "The Illiberal Avengers" to overthrow "too liberal" Pope Francis & turn back time of liberty - for & against everyone.
From November 2019:
"...
Last week, two of the Supreme Court’s most ardent Catholic justices, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh, met at the court with an odd trio of visitors: Brian S. Brown, who runs several anti-gay advocacy groups; German Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, once known as a 1980s party girl; and Gerhard Ludwig Müller, a right-wing German cardinal who has said publicly that a “homosexual network” inside the church is responsible for the clergy sexual abuse scandals.

Justice Alito has also publicly rubbed shoulders with other high-profile conservative Catholics who are viewed as Francis opponents. In 2017, John Gehring, Catholic program director at the nonprofit think tank Faith in Public Life, attended a $1,250-per person, two-day conference of American Catholic elites at the Trump International Hotel in Washington. The event was sponsored by the Napa Institute, a Catholic nonprofit founded by billionaire Timothy Busch, a lawyer who made his fortune in estate planning for the 1 percent. In 2011, Busch co-founded the Napa Institute to train Catholics to defend their faith in an increasingly secular society, and last year, launched the Napa Legal Institute to provide legal services for Catholic nonprofits. The Federalist Society’s Leonard Leo is on its board. Even so, Gehring was surprised to find Alito in the audience for Busch’s kick-off speech back in 2017. Busch has been a big player in what Tom Roberts, executive editor of the National Catholic Reporter, describes as the “hostile takeover” of the US Catholic church by right-wing billionaires.
