Hmm...another "spook" who was Catholic:

I've speculated in this newsgroup in the past about whether the U.S.
intelligence agencies have ever been unusually weighted toward
personnel
of Catholic background. Derision has followed: see the threads
associated
with my postings of 2002 and 1996:

For a change, try suggesting how my hypothesis might be tested using
publicly available materials.

Charles; Use a little logic and common sense.

First, what could possibly benefit our government by using Catholics as
intelligence agents?

This sounds to me just like another silly left wing conspiracy theory,
straight from the la la land these people live in mentally.

They could be counted on to follow orders.

They can easily infiltrate a country or government on the excuse of
spreading the good word.
