RFK Jr. scores the lowest on this scorecard. Despite deep Catholic upbringing (rosary multiple times daily, mass twice daily in summers), his positions align with liberal Catholicism on most issues. His prior pro-abortion views drew opposition from Mike Pence's group during confirmation. He was confirmed 52-48 with only Mitch McConnell voting against among Republicans. His focus is on vaccine skepticism and health freedom, not the social conservative issues measured here. The Kennedy family legacy includes strong gun control advocacy. His environmental career was internationally focused. His Catholic faith is genuine but expressed through social justice rather than social conservatism. [2026 actions: As HHS Secretary, cut universally-recommended vaccines from 17 to 11 (January 2026; federal judge blocked overhaul March 16, 2026). FDA under his direction blocked publication of safety studies on COVID + shingles vaccines (May 2026). Hired David Geier to study vaccine-autism link. Confirms strong T on industry_capture[q0] (anti-mandate) + [q1] (anti-pharma-shield agenda).]
