11. Opus Dei, Russia jogged my memory of something

Our Lady of Fatima prophecies. Two of the kids were sainted, one died in 2005 (a 94yo nun). I was fascinated by supposed prophecies when I was a kid and read lots of “accounts”.

This is a quote from an article on Patheos: “Could it be that a re-Christianized Russia will then re-evangelize the world? Pope John Paul II once said priests would come not from Africa but from Russia to re-evangelize the West.

Perhaps the future of the Church lies not in Europe, Africa or Latin America but among the long-suffering people of the cold Russian north, whom God’s Soviet enemies unwittingly prepared to survive a long, cold, hard winter.”

Just wondering if Opus Dei is the equivalent of the fundy evangelicals. Trying to force fulfillment of “prophecies” while enriching themselves along the way.

Just a thought...
