NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

[douglas9]

A report from InfoVaticana — a Spanish outlet with close Opus Dei ties — claims that Pope Leo XIV is on the verge of approving new statutes that would effectively dismantle Opus Dei as it exists today.

In Rome and at Opus Dei’s headquarters, no one denies that the Holy See’s intervention is imminent.

Two independent sources tell Letters from Leo that the text of the reforms is finalized and its promulgation is only weeks away.

According to the leaks, the changes would “mean the definitive break of the original structure” that St. Josemaría Escrivá envisioned for the organization.

1. I wish Pope Leo could he break up Leo Leonard and the Federalist Society while he's at it.

2. might get him killed, but

3. Take that SCOTUS Opus Dei adherents! I think I'm going to really LOVE this POPE...

He damned well better be well-protected. Steve Bannon spent considerable time in Italy and elsewhere drumming up the far-right extremist Catholic factions in recent years to take on Pope Francis, so, they are undoubtedly going to be "re-activated."

15. Yeah, but Italy is the one country that denied him the right to build his

"school" (on chaos and nazism)... and threw him out of the country... if I'm remembering correctly.

4. I bought a book about Opus Dei

My sister said that it is so last century. But I think they have infiltrated the Supreme Court

[DFW]

9. They helped the Fascists win the brutal Spanish Civil War

Connections to some on the Supreme Court. Alito, probably Thomas and possibly Roberts, too.

Not to be underestimated. A brutal cult. I hope Leo has thoroughly vetted his bodyguards. Better than Indira Gandhi.

5. Great! Though they have already destroyed this country...

[TheRickles]

6. Maybe Dan Brown was right about them in The DaVinci Code.

[Joinfortmill]

7. Good. Love this guy.

[Scrivener7]

8. WOW! This guy is actually following Christian teachings! I haven't been Catholic for decades,

but I will pray for his safety.

This is really significant. Alito, Thomas, and maybe Roberts are members. As is Leonard Leo, head of the Federalist Society. It's the excuse they give themselves for the evil things they do.

20. If Pope Leo keeps this up

I may actually consider going back to church. There are a number of priests and nuns speaking out against dt.

10. They'll just go underground. "Deus Underground" has a ring to it, no?

Another "DU"? They can get in line behind "Ducks Unlimited".

I think the pope, to be effective, will have to go all "Knights Templar" on them, like Pope Clement V. I'd bring popcorn to that show.

[reACTIONary]

13. Maybe "Christmas Adventure"'?

May St. Nick be with you.

11. Frankly Opus Dei nembers should either be in The Hague or various prisons throughout the world.

Let's not forget their involvement with various fascist regimes over the years (i.e. Chile), not to mention the one trying to emerge in our country. Also, many of their members have been involved with sex crimes and human trafficking.

18. i'm reserving judgement on this pope

til i see him dealing w all the pedo priests.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. Good

This group needed to go away

[Texin]

14. I wish him well, but they're frightfully powerful. Purportedly, there is at least one Supreme who's a member.

I hope he has a food taster.

[RainCaster]

16. Isn't Amy Coney Barrett a member?

Isn't that part of her religion to lie to us all about "settled law"?

17. People of Praise

19. Way to go Pope Bob
