October 4, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – An Opus Dei leader has denounced the signatories of a recently-published “filial correction” of Pope Francis regarding “heresies” propagated by the pontiff.
The order’s Vicar General, its second-ranked prelate, accused the more than two hundred scholars and clergy who have signed the Correction of “attack[ing] the pope” and airing the Church’s dirty laundry in public.

The private route was tried and fell on deaf ears. The Bible says the next step is a public rebuke. But Francis and his cronies aren’t big fans of the “outdated” Bible.
What statements from the SSPX surprise you?
One of their Bishops said something favorable about him this year. Hard to find it on my phone. My daughter is at Ave Maria in Naples
Airing dirty laundry in public aka transparency.
Funny thing, when the dirty laundry gets air, many of the parasites flee or go out of business.
Half the people who would favor a revolution are more interested in not rocking the boat.
Paul Rebukes Peter at Antioch
But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public, because he was clearly wrong.
Opus Dei is playing the long game.
Just my guess.
The Catholic Church has become the Democrat Party....those who speak truth are castigate for “mean spirited attacks on their own”.....
