The Jesuits are not going to be happy about this.

Dear Friends,  

Cass says, with regard to my text on  "The Da Vinci Code and HPB" (see further below): 

"Dan Brown has probably done more than anyone since HPB in exposing these frauds."

I agree --  Dan Brown and also several historians and researchers. 

Take a look at my text immediately below. 

Regards,  Carlos.

OPUS  DEI ,  A  MASONRY  IN  THE  VATICAN? 
 
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
Dear Friends in Theos-talk,  
 
 
The Opus Dei,  a  Catholic secret organization founded in 1928,   is a living proof  of the close  links  between Nazi-Fascism and the Vatican.  
 
The story of Opus Dei  shows that this  Vatican-sponsored  enemy of Theosophy has  much in common with authoritarian views of politics,  with  the stimulation of disrespect for  democratic values,  and with  the cult for war and violence.  Numerous peace-loving and democratic  Catholics around the world are opposed to Opus Dei. 
 
I translate from �Le Monde Diplomatique� (1): 
 
�On October 6 [2002], pope John Paul II canonized Jos� Maria Escriv� de Balaguer, the founder of Opus Dei, a sort  of Catholic Masonry obsessed by the conquest of power.  This quick canonization, the fastest in the church�s History, provokes strong emotions among  the numerous Catholics who know about the support given by  the Opus Dei to ultra-conservative political regimes, particularly in Latin America, and the historical links  between  Jos� Maria Escriv� and General Franco, the Fascist dictator of Spain.� 
 
�Le Monde Diplomatique�  then says that during the recent government of Mr. Jos� Maria Aznar as Spanish Prime-Minister, the militants of Opus Dei were comfortably sharing political power. 
 
The author of the article adds:
 
�The masterpiece of the Opus Dei founder, the book �Path�, was written during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and consists of a praise of  the fascist spirit and of Franco as a dictator.�
 
�Le Monde� says the book reflects the �franquist� enthusiasm of those times.   Escriv� wrote: 
 
 �The war is the greatest obstacle  to the easy way. Therefore we need to love it.� 
 
Escriv� wanted  Spain to recover the ancient grandeur of its old Saints  and heros, as he wrote in the Introduction of �Path�, a text dated 19 March 1939.  It was in 1939 that Francisco Franco won his Civil War in Spain. The same year, Hitler started the Second World War.  The Spanish civil war is seen by Historians as the �general rehearsal� for the second world war. In Spain in those years,  new  weapons, strategies and tactics were being tested, while industries prepared for war.   
 
According to Mr. Goytisolo, who in  his text develops a Rabelasian approach to Escriv�s �philosophy�, the founder of Opus Dei had strong  �sexual inspirations�  for  his  Fascist  mysticism.  That, besides the love for a Masonic-inspired power structure, was something Mr. Escriv� seemed to have in common  with  Mr. Charles Leadbeater, a  sort of clairvoyant  Bishop who thought he had visited different planets like Mars and Mercury,  and who  created a Christian,  pseudo-theosophical Church and a Masonic Order. Both Leadbeaterian organizations  still feed in the theosophical movement and are used as mechanisms to control it, while the Opus Dei feeds in --  and helps to control --   the Catholic Church. 
 
On women, Jos� Maria Escriv� had a revealing, yet not entirely surprising,  opinion:
 
�Women do not need to be wise,  it is enough that they be restrained�, he wrote. 
 
Jos� Maria Escriv� died in 1975, was beatified in 1982 and made a Catholic Saint in 2002.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 
The �Le Monde� article  I quoted from is significantly entitled  -- �The Founder of the Opus Dei Canonized: A FASCIST AND LICENTIOUS  SAINT�.  
 
Although the Opus Dei  is still considered to be the �Pope�s secret weapon�, the growing controversy about it, stimulated by the book and the motion picture �The Da Vinci Code�,  is certainly making  such a weapon less and less secret  these days.   
 
Interestingly enough, the �Blavatsky Archives On Line�, under the direction of Daniel Caldwell,  seems to  have a position  with regard to �The Da Vinci Code� which is similar to the one taken by the Opus Dei, according to which �this is purely fiction� -- and,  therefore,  we should not pay attention to it.
 
In 2002, the Opus Dei was said to have some 80,000 followers  around the world. (2) 
 
Best regards,  Carlos Cardoso Aveline.

There are wide sections of the Protestant world that do play the Vatican game. For instance, in the 1930s and 1940s Germany, Catholics and Protestants both gave their suppor to A. Hitler. In India, in the 1880s, both agreed to fight Theosophy by all means.
