This article describes Brennan as a “Jesuit-educated Catholicâ€. I have no doubt that Brennan was raised Catholic, but I have scoured the internet for ANY reference to his Catholicism and have come up empty. Further, Brennan has talked publicly about having voted for Gus Hall, the Communist Party’s candidate, while in college. Most people in positions as high as John Brennan’s who are practicing Catholics are known to be Catholic — e.g., Louis Freeh, former head of the FBI — yet there are NO references to Brennan’s attending church or identifying himself as Catholic at any point throughout his career. Finally, Brennan insisted on being sworn in as head of the CIA by placing his hand on the US Constitution — specifically, a version sans the Bill of Rights — instead of on the Bible. In conclusion, there is zippo evidence that John Brennan has been “Catholic†since high school (if he even still was Catholic at that point).
I think the operative word there was “Jesuit-educated”, not “Catholic”.
As has been discussed on another thread or three, Fidel Castro was also “Jesuit-educated.” If memory serves, Castro brought up his religious educational background once in conversation with Ambassador Vernon Walters, who proceeded to point out that he himself had remained faithful whereas Fidel (inaptly named in this instance) had not. I can’t source the story but recall it from having followed the news in the early 80s.
