This only adds fuel to the belief that the Vatican has swung crazily to the left. This was an apparent attempt to visualize the legitimacy of the gay lifestyle. The controversial buying of the large building in London was supposed to be used to set up a gay living community.---The crazy slowing down of the march to sainthood for AB Fulton J. Sheen has to be added into the mixture. Timothy Cardinal Dolan still preaches that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered. Since he dragged the ball on releasing Sheen's body and then evidently is directly involved in putting the sainthood cause on hold in Rochester, his actions say something entirely different.

I don't see anything troubling about this

Dear Tancred. Why are you so mean to our Pope?

He is a humble person who could have lived in the opulent Apostolic Palace with no additional construction or improvement costs but he humbly chose to live in Domus Sanctae Marthae which was a humble fixer-upper for Francis which humbly cost the church of the poor three million humble dollars.

His investment in the Ellen John movies was meant to humbly show the world the dangers of capitalism.

However, mention of Ellen John recalls the great caption in a London paper beneath a photo of Ellen and David Furness...

Why don’t you opus devils tell us how much money opus devil sank into the masonic occult anti Christ Da Vinci Code movie?

"Could it be that Brown has performed a service to Opus Dei, knowingly or otherwise?12 Could this explain why Brown acknowledges getting "generous assistance" from--among others--"three active"13 members of Opus Dei? Opus Dei member Bernardo Estrada, who teaches the New Testament in Rome, took a calm view of the book in an interview with the Washington Post: "Anyone with a historical and religious base can refute it. I rather liked it, it's a good thriller."14 In early 2005, the British press spokesman for Opus Dei said, "Ten million people have now heard of Opus Dei thanks to The Da Vinci Code. That can only be a good thing--2005 is going to be the year of Opus Dei."15

The Da Vinci Code's Italian publisher, Mondadori, was founded by a man who was "an admirer of Opus Dei."16 In 1994, the same publisher had released a Papal best-seller--Crossing the Threshold of Hope, an extended interview done by a pro-Opus journalist. Mondadori also has published a "big print-run edition" of Escrivá's The Way.17

Opus Dei is giving "exclusive access" 18 to Great Projects Film Company and to the distributor CABLEready to produce a TV program about the movement, "Decoding Opus Dei." It will be released in May 2006, "in conjunction with the worldwide premiere of Ron Howard's feature film based on the novel and starring Tom Hanks."19 The TV producer from Great Projects says, "Thanks to the access we've received from the group, we'll be able to provide viewers with a fair and honest account of the organization."20

After assisting Da Vinci Code’s author, opus devils lie to the public (while planning a HUGE (over several years) publicity campaign)!

"IN THE NEW YORK COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE of Opus Dei, we first learned about The Da Vinci Code only weeks before the novel’s publication...From the beginning our attitude was to be helpful and open in providing information about Opus Dei. It was in this phase, for instance, that a book dedicated entirely to Opus Dei was started, by Vatican expert John L. Allen.

Together with this, many ordinary activities have been converted into “news” in this period; the re-design of our website, the appearance of a blog by Fr John Wauck about Opus Dei and the Da Vinci Code ( www.davincicode-opusdei.com ), the launch in New York of a new edition of “The Way”, a collection of points for personal meditation on Christian life written by Josemaría Escrivá in 1934, by Doubleday, which will be distributed to all bookshops in America.

Another news item has been the documentary produced by the Saint Josemaria Institute and the Cresta Group (Chicago) entitled “Passionately Loving the World”. This 28 minutes movie shows Americans from around the country whose lives have been transformed by the spirituality of St. Josemaría Escrivá: a Los Angeles fire-fighter, a college student, an entrepreneur, and a family on a farm, among others. After the premier of the documentary in New York, hundreds of news items appeared in the American media talking about the “other movie”. The video itself was news, and excerpts from it were shown on ABC, CNN and other north American stations.

“For fans of The Da Vinci Code: If you are interested in the ‘real’ Opus Dei, take one”.

Opus devil never boycotts or advocates a boycott of the film but indeed states they will attend the movie themselves" “Opus Dei is not calling for a boycott of the film…Our overall strategy is to turn lemons into lemonade," he said. "We are concerned about the movie but we are continuing to try and use the attention to talk about the reality of the Catholic Church and the reality of Opus Dei."

Opus devils never defend Jesus Christ or the Catholic church, but only opus devil (none of the links at the end work):

It was left to TFP to organize the “resistance” to Da Vinci Code w/out ever mentioning their allies in the CIA/FBI/Masonic deep state (!preserve our position, property and wealth from communists--give control of the church to the RIGHT lay people*!) opus devil who egged the whole blasphemous enterprise on to promote themselves, destroy belief in Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church, and bring on one world masonic religion that worships the Egyptian divine feminine goddess Isis (i.e. themselves):

*But, if a certain moment comes where the SOCIAL doctrine – which is the doctrine that acts as the foundation for our action (even though doctrine of religious liberty strikes at the very foundation of Christian society which is Jesus Christ) – when I see that this foundation vacillates in some points regarding the Council, I cannot fail to speak on this matter, because it is the very foundation of our work that is at stake. And, then, be certain that I will represent the unanimous consensus of all the TFPs by saying: "We, as Catholics and individuals, have formed our opinion...Even if !all! the Bishops consent to a wrong teaching, we cannot accept if it is against the traditional teaching" (!but only for SOCIAL doctrine!)

"At the end, Brown's feminist Gnostics win their battle. The novel concludes with one of its heroes worshipping on his knees at the tomb of Mary Magdalene, beneath the inverted glass pyramid at the Louvre. The book's last sentences describe the devotee's rapture: "For a moment, he thought he heard a woman's voice . . . the wisdom of the ages . . . whispering up from the chasms of the earth."7 Meanwhile, Opus Dei's murderous monk Silas is dead, and its money-loving bishop had to confess his part in the crimes to the police. Furthermore, the cult faces suppression by the Catholic Church, under the direction of a liberal Pope. It turns out that Opus Dei's death-dealing quest for the Grail secret was done under the covert direction of the Priory of Sion, itself the custodian of the treasured knowledge. With cunning, and by playing on the fear and power-lust of the head of Opus Dei, the Priory had "implicated Opus Dei in the plot that would soon bring about the demise of the entire Church."8"

@MarxShea: "Church Militant" remarks on this situation that the key factor against the film is an explicit sex scene. For this reason, the film should not have been supported by the Vatican in any way or form.

I always heard that those who lived in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but apparently the AIDS Virus has 'protectors' in high places. (Really check out the john mola wedding post to see the vicious liberal bffs incorporated w/AIDS Virus and whom CM donors support.)

Ok, let's form a checklist of deviant individuals from St. Michael's Media:

3. Michael Voris
In 1997 he began operation of an independent television production company called Concept Communications, LLC. This company was registered by co-owners Gary Michael Voris and John Fitzpatrick Mola with the State of Michigan on July 8, 1997.[3] Shortly thereafter on July 23, 1997, Voris and Mola registered a video with the US Copyright Office titled "Double Trouble".[4]

This past Sunday, September 27 (2015), I married my long-time partner John (Fitzgerald) Mola in a ceremony officiated by Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor and Pastor Ian Reed Twiss and attended by a small gathering of family and friends. We honored our guests with donations to the Huron Valley Humane Society and also gave, on behalf of the wedding officiants, to Equality Michigan, 826Michigan, and the Jim Toy Center.
