General Discussion

I just read the book “Opus” by Gareth Gore. He spent years investigating opus dei, the catholic cult. This cult has heavily infested the upper echelons of the US government, from congress to the supreme court. Multiple billionaires and other wealthy elites donate millions to turn this country into a neoconservative branch of the catholic church. Leonard Leo, Fat Tony Scalia, Clarence Thomas, etc etc. Dark money galore is spent to influence congress and sway voters. Pope Francis started cracking down on them, and Pope Leo has also done some things as well. It seems like once you become wealthy you want to take freedoms away from others, even though that same freedom likely played a role in making you obscenely wealthy. My guess is vance is doing damage control for opus since they only like squeaky right wing popes, like The Deuce. I highly recommend reading this book.
