Famous U. S. Public Figures Past and Present

(The Gov. Keating above should not be confused with Charles Keating, Jr. who was a famous champion fighter against pornography before becoming famous as a banker who swindled thousands of his customers (while donating $1,250,000 to Mother Teresa, and being honored by the pope as a model Catholic.)
        Another "model Catholic" : Robert Hanssens (super traitor):
        "According to USA Today, those who knew the Hanssens described them as a close family. They attended Mass weekly. His three sons attended The Heights School in Potomac, Maryland, an all-boys Preparatory School.[23] His daughters attended Oakcrest School for Girls, also a Catholic school associated with Opus Dei. His wife, Bonnie, taught religion there.
        A priest at the parochial school which Hanssen's children attended said that Hanssen had regularly attended a 6:30 a.m. daily Mass for more than a decade.[24] Father C. John McCloskey III said Hanssen also occasionally attended the daily noontime Mass at the Catholic Information Center in downtown Washington, D.C.
        However, there was a second side to Hanssen's private life. Unbeknownst to his wife, he secretly videotaped them in sexual acts and shared the videotapes with a friend. He also explicitly described their sex life on Internet chat rooms, giving information sufficient for those who knew them to recognize the couple.
        Hanssen fraternized with a Washington D.C. stripper named Priscilla Sue Galey. The stripper went to Hong Kong with Hanssen on a trip; he gave her money, jewels and a used Mercedes, but cut off contact with her prior to his arrest. Galey states the relationship was strictly platonic and that he was trying to help her get closer to God." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen#Family_life )

Along with bragging rights . . .

If Catholics want to bask in the glow of their more famous members, they may be able to take credit for the good their fellow members have done, but by the very same token, they have to share in the shame of their more notorious members as well.
        Italian Catholics are immensely proud of Christopher Columbus. No mention is made of the fact that the Catholic "heroes" who "discovered the New World were in fact criminal invaders of nations on two continents, whose only justification for killing countless numbers of the innocent inhabitants of those lands and carrying off their wealth to Europe to fill the treasuries of Spain's Catholic royalty and the Roman Catholic Church was the blessing of that church's "supreme pontiffs". See ColumbusNoHero.Org.
          King Philip of Spain dreamed of using this ill gotten gain to rid Europe of Protestants and Jews. Only fate (or God) prevented Philip from realizing his dreams, when a ferocious storm blew his "Armada", the most powerful fleet of ships ever assembled up to that time, onto the rocky shores of Ireland's west coast.
        Conspicuously absent from most Roman Catholic celebrity sites are Roman Catholics who figure very prominently on the list of Dictators of the 20th Century: ( including an ordained priest ), who are featured at MotherofDictators.html.
        There is an important German scholar whose work wasn't available in English until the 2018 translation of his masterpiece, which I promote at God&TheFascists, in which he shows how "God", in the form of Pope Pius XII was closely associated during the 1920's through 40's with some of the worst monsters of history, the Fascist dictators Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Franciso Franco, and Anton Pavelic, all products and allies of the Roman Catholic Church under that pope.
        If you want to read about some great R.C. heroes of the tragic World War II period, I have assembled what may well be the best catalogue of them at Intro-to-RC_Scandal.html. One of the reasons, however, that they were such heroes is that they were very rare exceptions to the rule. At that time some 98% of the entire population of Germany identified themselves as either "Catholic" (33%), or "other Christian" (66%). At my NaziLeadership website, I show that most of the top Nazi leaders were bought up as R.C.s and never left their church Nor were they ever excommunicated by the R.C. Church's bishops or pope.

• Belgium   :   Leon Degrelle
• Croatia   :   Ante Pavelic
• Chile     : Augusto Pinochet
• Cuba     : Fulguencia Batista
• Bohemia-Moravia : Emil Hacha
• Dominican Republic : the Trujillo's
• Germany   :   Adolf Hitler
• Haiti   Papadoc Duvalier
• Mexico   : Pofirio Diaz

• Phillipines : Ferdinand Marcos
• Portugal   :   Antonio Salazar
• Slovakia   :   Fr. Josef Tiso
• Spain : Francisco Franco
• Sudetenland : Konrad Henlein
• Vichy-France : Pierre Laval
• Vichy-France : Henry Petain
• Vietnam   :   Ngo Dinh Diem
• Zimbabwe     : Robert Mugabe

Although Catholics represented only a third of the population of Germany at the time, NaziLeadership.html shows that many of the most powerful and evil leaders of the Third Reich were Roman Catholics, none of whom were ever excommunicated for any of the monstrous crimes they committed after they came to power in 1933.

This the monstrous father who created a dungeon basement where he locked up his beautiful daughter for a quarter century, raping her constantly and fathering seven children.

America's greatest mass-murdereing terrorist

Timothy McVeigh, who murdered 168 innocent fellow Americans in cold blood, including 19 children, and injured 684 others.

        Apart from a few Jewish mobsters, why is it that most of the other mobsters in America have come out of the Catholic cultures (either Italian, Irish, or Hispanic). And the country most famous for its mobs to this day is the heart of Roman Catholicism, Italy?

Supreme Court Justices :

• Chief Justice John G. Roberts
• Justice Antonin Scalia
• Justice Clarence Thomas

• Justice Anthony Kennedy
• Justice Samuel Alito
• Judge Sonia Sotomayor
• ( Judge Robert Bork = rejected)

Roger Brooke Taney (pronounced "Tawney") was the fifth Chief Justice of the United States, holding that office from 1836 until his death in 1864, and was the first Roman Catholic to hold that office. In 1839 he advised the first national "Provincial" Council of the Catholic bishops of the U.S.A. he "gave advice to the bishops on points of American law concerning property rights and ecclesiastical courts." [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincial_Councils _of_Baltimore#Fourth_Provincial_Council ]
        He was a Marylander who identified with the South and fought to preserve the rights of whites to enslave blacks, as exemplified in the infamous Dred Scott decision, which declared that any restrictions imposed by Congress on the spread of slavery into the territories, such as those found in the Missouri Compromise, to be unconstitutional.

On Sunday, March 26th, 2006, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was caught by a photographer making a Sicilian hand gesture to a reporter, on his way out of Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston. When Scalia insisted the gesture was wrongly viewed as obscene, the Boston Herald put the photo on their front page and the photographer was promptly fired from his regular job on the Catholic paper of the Boston archdiocese. If the gesture was nothing to be embarrassed about, as the Justice and his allies insist, then why did they object so strenuously to its publication? And did they cause or at least allow the photographer to be fired over its publication? See the full article, where this picture was published at http://www.hubpolitics.com/archives/000376.php.

The vast majority of those who view Mother Teresa as saintly servant of the poorest of the poor, including the Vatican authorities whose duty it was to study her life before recommending her for canonization know nothing about her but what they have gotten from journalists who never did any homework on their own, but have done nothing for decades but parrot what others told them. See what a difference it made when someone actually spent time - eight years no less! - seeing for himself what this woman was all about and then publishing a 425 book about his shocking findings, which I summarize at my MotherTeresa web page!
       Mother Mary Jones, founder of "Mother Jones" magazine.
       "Although Mary was raised Catholic, she never claimed allegiance, feeling the organized church had abandoned the revolutionary nature Jesus had espoused. She also felt organized religion was used as a way to keep people from asking questions about their condition. When she spoke to groups, she portrayed Jesus as an organizer of the poor, saying he chose to die rather than betray the poor." [ http://www.lkwdpl.org/wihohio/jone-mar.htm ]
        Conrad Black, the fallen press baron who once presided over the world’s third-largest newspaper empire, became a convert while in prison for 6 1/2 years for fraud and obstruction of justice. (He was caught on videotape removing 13 boxes of documents from the Toronto offices of his media company).
