Trump advisor responsible for choosing next Supreme Court Justice is Roman Catholic

Leonard Leo, of the Federalist Society, is strongly Roman Catholic (he was the "Catholic strategist" for the Bush admin) and also responsible for choosing the next SC justice to replace the retiring Anthony Kennedy. Not a surprise really, they have to maintain that majority on the Court after all! (6 out of the 9 current justices are Roman Catholic.) He has played the role of king-maker on the court before as well.
