VATICAN SHADOWS BOOK 1: Opus Dei part ii
Manage episode 496990312 series 2643096
We explore the origins of the Vatican-CIA alliance and Josemaria's arrival in Rome. While Opus Dei consolidates its power in Spain and reaches an uneasy accommodation with Vatican II, it begins a major expansion into the new world, collecting friends everywhere from New York to Santiago. By the early 1970s, Opus Dei members are ready to play an integral role in the neoliberal coup in Chile, and offer theological and political justifications for the ensuing campaign of state terror and repression. This one has a bit of everything: faith, fascism, terrorism, miracles, murder and money laundering.
