The judge that is being touted as the front runner for the Supreme Court is a member of a cult within the Catholic Church called The People of Praise. Margaret Atwood said she based The Hadmaid’s Tale on this cult. Every person in the cult is assigned a head, if they’re male, or a handmaid, if they’re female. They control whom the members marry, and how they raise their children. They also believe that men have total control over their wives.
Barrett also says that a “legal career is but a means to an end … and that end is building the Kingdom of God.”
