VATICAN SHADOWS BOOK 1: Opus Dei part ii
🕑 Added 2025-07-28 10:16:44 +0000 UTCWe explore the origins of the Vatican-CIA alliance and Josemaria's arrival in Rome. While Opus Dei consolidates its power in Spain and navigates Vatican II, it begins a major expansion into the new world, collecting friends everywhere from New York to Santiago. By the early 1970s, Opus Dei members are ready to play an integral role in the neoliberal coup in Chile, and offer theological and political justifications for the ensuing campaign of state terror and repression. This one has a bit of everything: faith, fascism, terrorism, miracles, murder and money laundering.

I concur with the crowd: a really, really captivating, well weaved episode. Man, the Chile stuff really hit. Not much Iwant already aware of but your reading of that first hand account, i already forget his name, the man there with his child i believe and... man. Sheer fucking barbarity. Thanks, as always.

Friend and I were listening and he reminded me I wrote a song for our first punk band 20 years ago called “Opus Dei fuck you”. It was also apparently my msn screen name. Ahead of the curve baby
