14. Bill Barr and Opus Dei. Opus Dei is made up of right-wing authoritarian people with power.

I have an Opus Dei "numerary" in my family as well as a "supernumerary". They are a cult, authoritarian and religious cult. They recruit people with power in order to have power. Too many of our "conservative Catholics" in politics are either members or supportive of them.

Franco supported Opus Dei and they supported him
Pinochet supported Opus Dei and they supported him
Fujimore supported Opus Dei and they supported him

You can see the pattern. Yes, Barr is right-wing, religious, Opus Dei idealogue. Not a supporter of democracy.

Good read. It's important for all to understand that Barr, Bannon, Pompeo and many others... Garrett78 Oct 2019 #6

Pompeo, Pence are Dominionists. Barr is Opus Dei. Grasswire2 Oct 2019 #8

And I suspect Bannon is also Opus Dei. But I think dominionist applies to all of them. Garrett78 Oct 2019 #9

They all may not be strictly dominionists but they're all in "The Family." hedda_foil Oct 2019 #12
