WHAT LEONARD LEO wants you to know about Leonard Leo, first and foremost, is that
he is a Knight of Malta. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) is a lay Catholic order
that claims descent from the Knights Hospitaller, founded in Jerusalem in 1099, at the end
of the First Crusade. Its an extremely selective group. Of the 1.2 billion Catholics in the world,
only 13,000 are Knights of Maltaalthough most of them dont go around bragging about it.
