Might the Opus Dei Collaborators, Barr (who new USCCB Chief, Abp. Broglio dined with) & Voris, be controlled opposition for Biden & Francis respectively?
Did the FBI & "Silent about Hunter's Laptop" Bill Barr Steal the
...Election..In an April 30, 2022 post I asked:
Could Amy Coney Barrett be the woman behind the Opus Dei curtain?
The leftist Washington Babylon website said that to some extent the secretive pro-Francis & pro-Amoris Laetitia Opus Dei put John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett in the Supreme Court:
"Executive Vice President of the Federalist Society Leonard Leo, board member of Opus Dei’s Catholic Information Center, can take credit for installing four members of the Supreme Court: John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. It is Leo who prepares Trump’s “list of judges and the people that he’s put on the bench.” That now includes Judge Amy Coney Barrett."
"Its finances are also secret. An official organization of the Catholic Church, in the U.S. Opus Dei gets a 501(c)(3) tax code as a “religious” organization. Donors not only receive a tax deduction, but their names and amount of donations are secret. Opus Dei’s outlays are equally opaque." [https://washingtonbabylon.com/judge-barretts-religion-is-off-limits-opus-deis-agenda-is-not/]
Moreover, in 2021, Gateway Pundit reported that, Donald Trump's apparent controlled opposition, former Attorney General Bill Barr told "Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer to Stop Looking Into Truck Driver Jesse Morgan’s Testimony That He Moved More Than 200,000 Fraudulent Ballots from NY to PA Before the 2020 Election." [https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/ag-barr-told-lt-col-tony-shaffer-stop-looking-truck-driver-jesse-morgans-testimony-moved-200000-fraudulent-ballots-ny-pa-2020-election/?ff_source=Email&ff_medium=he-gateway-pundit&ff_campaign=dailypm&ff_content=daily]
In February, NewsMax's Emerald Robinson reported that "former AG Bill Barr prevented 30 Trump Administration executive orders from being finalized after Election Day":
“Led by a member of the arch-conservative group Opus Dei, the center is a hub for Washington’s influential conservatives,” Rohde darkly suggests. “The center’s board of directors remains a nexus of politically connected Catholics. [White House counsel] Pat Cipollone and Barr have both served on the board, as has Leonard Leo, the executive vice president of the Federalist Society.”
Barr’s connection to the CIC, which it said is “staffed by priests from the secretive, ultra-orthodox Catholic sect Opus Dei.” The same month, The Nation’s Joan Walsh sounded the alarm about Barr’s links to “extremist Catholic institutions,” while an article on the liberal Web site Alternet speculated that Barr may be an Opus Dei member. The group, it said, had taught Barr to “put away his scruples.” This is egregious nonsense. For starters, Barr isn’t, in fact, a member, as the organization was forced to clarify in November, breaking its usual policy of not identifying members or non-members.

So let's look at the beginning of CM as St. Michael's Media and Real Catholic TV.The saga begins in 2006 when Michael Voris formed his company, St. Michael's Media. In 2008 Real Catholic TV premiered in Ferndale, MI, a city known for its homosexual presence.
Voris in a video titled "The Answer," re-posted by Restore-DC-Catholicism, said:
"As far as I can see Opus Dei which means the work of God is if not the answer is at least the best that I can see.
(Church Militant, "The Answer," 4:44-4:52 which was posted on Restore-DC-Catholicism, "The "Answer" according to Real Catholic TV, March 25, 2010)
In the above post, Restore-DC-Catholicism said former members of Opus Dei "relay their stories of how they were subject to subtle thought reform and increasing mental control."


Thinking that a "supernumerary" is something special indicates lack of familiarity with OD.

What proof does Engel have he is or was a member?

She also wrongly claimed that the Merry del Val favored the election of Rampolla when the exact opposite was true. He was chosen to work with the conclave to oppose him.
How many fetid lies and egregious errors in ecclesiastical history does one have to commit before her reader begin to not take her claims seriously?


The CIC is owned by the Archdiocese of Washington, but was languishing years ago and OD was asked by the then archbishop or cardinal of the archdiocese to run it. When OD takes something on, it doesn’t do anything half-way.
Membership in OD isn’t defined by “rank” but rather availability to serve the apostolates of OD. A married member, a supernumerary, by virtue of their marriage and likely parenting responsibilities is least free to serve specific OD apostolates, instead focusing mostly on one’s primary PERSONAL apostolate, their spouse, children, friends, coworkers, etc.
The organization is much looser than you think. I suspect most of the CIC board are NOT members of OD. That’s just how things are done.

That said, I know for a fact that the formerly "Amateur Brain Surgeon" has changed his tag to Mick Jagger Gathers No Mosque. [https://www.thecatholicmonitor.com/2021/12/the-cm-comment-section-victory.html]

Steve is no longer part of the LC cult.
Steve has switch to another cult:
Opus Dei and its founder Josemaría Escrivá
Postings on 1P5 that give favorable reference to Opus Dei and its founder Josemaría Escrivá:

More to come I'm sure.
What's up with the all the Escrivá quotes?
Can you imagine if the quotes were from Marcial Maciel?
I guess traditionalists now think Escrivá is worthy of quoting. Funny, back in the day most trads hated Josemaría Escrivá & Opus Dei? [https://www.romancatholicimperialist.com/2016/09/ex-legion-of-christ-steve-skojec-of-one.html]

I am not Steve Skojec.
I have also used Bornacatholic, Amateur Brain Surgeon, I am not spartacus and, no doubt ,a few others I cannot remember.

In a few days, on my crummy blog, I will be documenting what I charged Ms. Engel with having done in here.
I am sort of surprised you are more interested in my screen name than her being wrong abut Mike Jones "membership" in Opus Dei and her fetid, unproven, accusation that Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val was an active sodomite who hosted homosexual orgies in his apartment and preyed on young men but we all have our priorities.
So what if Mr. O'Reily is a former intelligence officer.? Does that make his reasonable responses to the BISP crowd nugatory?
You've got to do better.


Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis's Amoris Laetitia.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost - Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
- Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
"[T]he Pope... WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See."
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said "the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church."

The AAS guidelines explicitly allows "sexually active adulterous couples facing 'complex circumstances' to 'access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'"
- On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
"The AAS statement... establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense."
- On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
"Francis' heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents."
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
