This whole thing is utter hogwash. Any good, upstanding Catholic like myself could tell you unabashedly that we are ruling the entire world. The answer is right here:

In a recent issue of the New York Review of Books, liberal Catholic historian Garry Wills, author of a new book about Jesus, revealed that there is a conservative Catholic fringe group that is pulling the levers of power in the church and the government. Specifically, there are four men: George Weigel (whose terrific new book God's Choice is required reading for serious Catholics), Joseph Fessio, Michael Novak, and (cue scary music) Richard John Neuhaus. Perhaps suffering from a Da Vinci Code-like fever dream, Wills charges that these men, well, run the country. They are connected with Karl Rove (natch), and guide their nefarious neocon policy from the fringe. They are, that is to say, an anti-democratic oligarchy imposing its will on a public that does not support them.

So, listen up and watch your step, 'cause Father Neuhaus and I am coming for y'all!

Don't even ask for a sarcasm tag. Just don't.

Good thing they haven't caught on to Paul Weyrich and Antonin Scalia. Let's keep them secret from here on out.
