Project 2025 Architect Kevin Roberts Linked to Controversial Catholic Group Opus Dei
Roberts' connections to the secretive organization raise concerns over the influence of radical religious views on conservative policy goals.
- Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, receives regular spiritual guidance from an Opus Dei-led center in Washington, D.C.
- Roberts advocates for 'radical incrementalism' to achieve conservative policy objectives, including outlawing birth control.
- Opus Dei, founded in Spain in 1928, opposes the separation of church and state and has controversial international ties.
- Leonard Leo, another key conservative figure, also has connections to Opus Dei and supports Project 2025.
- Critics warn that Project 2025 could significantly impact abortion access, LGBTQ+ rights, and education policies if implemented.
