So he’s an anglican.

That’s not exactly Roman Catholic, is it?

How you been?

He is “high church”, it’s close. He attended Holy Cross College with one of my ex-law partners who is now a state court judge. They were on the track team together while at college. Although he was a rabid Democrat, he had nothing but high praise for Thomas as a person, a student and an athlete.

Justice Thomas went to Catholic school as a child and even studied in a Catholic seminary for a while. He left the Church later on and attended an Episcopal Church, but he is now a practicing Roman Catholic.

Here's how Wikipedia explains his situation:

Since joining the Supreme Court, Thomas requested an annulment of his first marriage from the Roman Catholic Church, which was granted by the Tribunal of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arlington. He was reconciled to the Church in the mid-1990s and remains a practicing Roman Catholic.
