Opus Dei and the Moneybags Kid
In his new book OPUS, Gareth Gore examines the ties binding Supreme Court puppetmaster Leonard Leo and a radical, powerful Catholic organization.
This is an excellent article written by @garethgore.bsky.social on how Leonard Leo and Opus Dei have and continue to change the structure and politics in the US.

Leonard Leo & the Stained Glass Curtain He’s Hiding Behind
“Pay no attention to the roly poly bat faced boy behind the altar”
The biggest and least covered story in US history? The Opus Dei destruction of 250 years of US democracy? Took a London-based Brit financial reporter to expose it. @garethgore.bsky.social

If you read the @garethgore.bsky.social book on Opus Dei & follow @thcarter123.bsky.social it’s clear that the Catholic Church is under attack from within. They value political power over the 10 commandments & they seek to impose their version of sharia law on our country. It’s why Vance converted.

Just finished @garethgore.bsky.social’s “Opus” and feeling slightly insane—an absolutely enthralling book, truly
An absolute must-read if you want some insight into how deep Opus Dei got its fingers into the scariest sect of conservative American politics, among other things
I feel insane, my god

Thank you! Hopefully I haven’t made you too depressed.
There is some hope…the pope is expected to disband the group in coming weeks.

Podcast-Folge · Straight White American Jesus · 23.10.2025 · 41 Min.
I interviewed @garethgore.bsky.social for @straightwhitejc.bsky.social about the recent rumblings of Vatican-imposed reform on Opus Dei. Gareth details and contextualises a recent report on a possible internal rupture and what that would mean for the organisation and its future.

The clandestine network of a Catholic order
In early October a jeremiad entitled “Response to Gareth Gore’s book ‘Opus’” appeared on the website of the famously secretive Catholic sect Opus Dei. The

In his new book OPUS, Gareth Gore examines the ties binding Supreme Court puppetmaster Leonard Leo and a radical, powerful Catholic organization.
So, I wrote a short post snarking about Leonard Leo's + Opus Dei's inordinate influence on SCOTUS.
And then read about Leo and Opus Dei and . . . it's a trip. Everyone should be aware of just how deeply creepy this is. @garethgore.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Pope Leo is making a strong move to hinder the power of an abusive right wing extremist branch of the church. He is posed to sign a decree separating Opus Dei into three branches and essentially blocking the recruitment of new initiates.

I recently (as in earlier this year) learned about the evil that is Opus Dei- they are BAD NEWS, to put it mildly, and learning how many prominent people are aligned with those bastards was eye-opening. So seeing serious efforts are underway to squelch their influence is very good to hear.

Too late to save the US and its Supreme Court--many of whose justices were hand-picked by Opus Dei's Best Boy, Leonard Leo--but better late than never!
