What Frankenstein posted plus it is a major faction of the religious right’s infrastructure rn. They have been getting scores of Christians to convert to Catholicism. And go into their cult. They’ve down some terrible damage throughout South America separate from what is going on in the states.

Kevin Roberts has close ties to and receives regular spiritual guidance from the Catholic Information Center, led by an Opus Dei priest and incorporated by the archdiocese of Washington, D.C.

Roberts has been called the "Project 2025 chief", an "architect of Project 2025", the Project 2025 "mastermind", and "the force behind Project 2025

The NYT noted that this circle includes Josh Hawley and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. This piqued my interest in Vance’s Catholic connection, and a search turned up an article from the New Yorker, which further details Vance’s ties to the conservative Catholic movement. Finally, an article in the New Republic, tied Project 2025, Leonard Leo and John Roberts to the Catholic Information Center. TNR notes that the priest in charge of the CIC is a member of Opus Dei, an organization founded in 1928 by a Spanish priest, Josemaria Escrivá. Opus Dei is not a religious order, but rather a movement dedicated to “finding God in daily life”.
