Is this one of the factions hoping to fill a vacuum from the evangelical dominionist insurrection?
Do they have any proof of this?
Oh wait... yeah it's right there in the picture on his lapel.

My mom's friend from childhood is Opus Dae, they are real and still around... worldwide
That was my first thought too!
Quick, everybody make Ambigrams supporting Kamala, so he thinks the devil is after him.
Next you'll tell the me the Legion of Doom had something to do with this
Dan Brown tried to warn us.
Wow I used to know this conspiracy lady who was into aliens and past lives who used to go ON about Opus Dei being the secret organization stealing kids and controlling the levers of power in the Church and world government. Maybe she was right all along. I just thought she had an active imagination!
Does this mean Kevin Roberts is a DEI hire? 🤣😂🤣😂
Is this convicted felon, rapist and former twice indicted president donald tRumps project 2025? Color me surprised
Now let me just sit here and be shocked.
Wait, I’ve seen this movie! We need Robert* Langdon to find clues in art to solve this!
(Robert)
Corrected, thanks!
I do get like RE4 vibes from him, he's def one of the guys in cloaks who pulls levers. The levers that launch rolling boulders at Leon and friends.
Radical Catholics? I'm picturing Ned Flanders on a skateboard.
These guys would not be okali-dokali with Ned.
Dei strikes again
Oops Dei is hardcore cult within the Catholic Church. And before anyone replies with "the Catholic Church is already a cult", know that Opus Dei makes conventional Catholicism look like a casual bake sale.
Opus Dei frequently recruits Catholic teens through 'youth clubs' to be 'numeraries'. They specifically target smart kids who are emotionally vulnerable and/or neuro-divergent, and groom them to join their movement. The goal is to get them fully subservient and brainwashed by the time they are in their late teens. At that point they sequester them in sanctioned housing where every aspect of their lives can be controlled, and they push them hard through college. This is also when they are inducted into the movement as numeraries and pushed into a life of celibacy in complete service of the movement. (There is another type of Opus Dei members called 'super-numeraries' who are Catholics recruited as adults after they are married. They are also exploited by the movement, but not to the same degree.)
After college numeraries remain trapped in this housing and lifestyle. Opus Dei then sends them out to work in conventional jobs (usually higher-paying ones to maximize their income theft). And all of the income the bring in is taken by the movement for their nefarious plans. The relationships of numeraries are totally controlled, to the point where any friends or family members who express concern about their well-being are cut out of their lives. Any emotional trauma or mental illness they have is left untreated, and is exploited by the movement to keep them subservient.
A numerary's life is controlled utterly by the movement. As mentioned before, all their income is given to the movement. Their daily schedules are completely controlled. Self-flagilation (not in a fun sexy way) is encouraged to keep them fully-ridden and obedient. And when possible, they are pushed into working with Catholic teens to perpetuate the recruitment and grooming process.
Opus Dei is a fucking cancer on society. It doesn't surprise me at all that they are involved in Project 2025.
I actually have one of those "youth clubs" close to where I live (also close to a university). It's this huge, modern building full of what looks like hotel rooms from the outside. Only ever saw female teenagers and older ladies there, but yeah it's hard to get a feeling from the outside of what it is about. For a long time I imagined it was like a correction house or something like that.
Thank's for the context!
Scalia and Thomas are both members of that cult. Why they are both so fucking stupid.
So they're breeding the assassin character from the Angels and Demons book?
Anyone's 2024 politics Bingo card have "IDK, some DaVinci Code shit" on it?
lol, lmao
What?? The architecture project 2025 is a massive racist? No shit!
Is opus dei a race oriented organization?
I mean yeah he's probably a racist but what about the new detail in the headline emphasizes that?
Nah, Opus Dei is not built on racism. It’s build on a completely different section of crazy.
That's what I thought
Is he wearing his cilice belt?
Oh so he's a fascist and a fucking idiot
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Funny how often those go together.
