For example during WW2 you had orders the lay low, others tacitly supported the Nazis, while others actively opposed the Nazis. Each did this because of their own political views, and their own idea of what was best for the Church.
Another example is my fraternity's neighbor, "Opus Dei"(?), they are a very conservative movement that wants people to attend church everyday, advocates the seperation of men and women until marriage (in school), wants a return to the Latin mass, and I know the residence censors all external input (newspapers, internet, magazines, etc.). Now they have the support of some of the cardinals vieing for Pope, but other orders (Dominicans for one) try to have as little as possible to do with them because of their conflicting viewpoints and politcal leanings (think Republicans and Democrats).

Hey Rob, a couple of things you might want to know:
Here's a quote that gets forgotten alot
"When fearful martyrdom came to our people, the voice of the
pope was raised for its victims."
Golda Meir, Israeli Foreign Minister(October 1958) "
(Hint: she's praising Pope Pius XII in a eulogy)
Oh, and I am very familiar w/ Opus Dei--I'm a super-numerary and have good relationships with several residences. The information you posted above are nothing more than scandalous rumors. I know this for a FACT because I am directly involved with them.
Disagree as much as you like, but at least get the facts straight.
Can we un-hijak this thread please? Can the anti-Catholic bigotry take a break please?
