Opportunistic Opus Dei Is Going Downhill

Opus Dei Prelate Fernando Ocáriz is merging the former administrative units of Germany, Austria/Hungary/Romania and Switzerland, writes InfoVaticana.com (December 9)

• The new Opus Dei region is called “Central Europe.”

• The prelature calls this a “simplification of the prelature's management structures.”

• The new leadership includes representatives from Germany, Austria, Switzerland.

• German Father Christoph Bockamp, 68, a physician, is the new regional vicar, based in Vienna.

• Head of the new region's Opus Dei women is Spanish born Amparo Lluch, 58, a lawyer, who has lived in Austria since 1983.

• In June 2021, the ten delegations in Spain were reduced to eight and the two Central American regions were merged into one.

"Opus Dei" will survive the Church crisis. Criticism from left-wing Catholics doesn't surprise me. But from the right, I call that "invidia clericalis" (envy among spiritual ways).

The problem is 2VC. Under this pretext, religious life is dwindling.

It’s not surprising at all. They are one of the foremost examples of the “conservative” faction of the post-conciliar Church, which will die out completely in the next generation.

Some of them are not conservative at all, but rather try as best as possible to mimic Bergoglio and his agenda. Neo-Con I think is the term. All those groups deserve to fade away. They claim to stand for the Church, but are brainwashed and follow Bergoglio etc.

@Kenjiro M. Yoshimori Yes. They’re the Republicans of the Church.

I don't think they don't die, because the left needs them to be the bogeyman. If they are in the risk of dying, the left gives them a lift up.

When something is spoiled the only difference between conservatives and progressists relates to the length of the decay process.
