"He could send Opus Dei there to do his work or be his eyes and ears. He gave them this special status that has never been granted before or since in the history of the Catholic church."

Wolfson asks Gore if the Vatican has the power to rein in Opus Dei. Gore responds:
"The Vatican helped to create this monster, not least Pope John Paul II because he saw them as political allies in his conservative crusade. He saw them almost like his personal green berets that he could send off to any part of the world where there was some kind of progressive priest or bishop who was causing trouble."

It's far right SCOTUS #ActivistJudges all the way down from here on out
