No one knows for sure unless a member outs themselves. Leonard Leo acknowledges membership in Opus Dei. He was instrumental in getting all of the Catholic conservatives onto the Supreme Court. All of those conservatives are members of the Catholic Information Center, a right wing DC think tank. Barr was a board member of CIC, and chair at one time I recall.

Probably likely that membership in CIC and OD overlap.

They probably think that such gives them dibs on heaven. Bet St. Peter is amused...

A guy came to the dining room where I live and asked if he could join me and another person. We said sure. he said I'm going to pray. I said I'll pass. Afterward he said I'm Catholic. I said I've given up on Christianity because there are so many hypocrites these days. He said I belong to Knights of Columbus and we do good works. I said so do I and I don't need anyone's permission or encouragement. He hasn't come back.
