Anyone who doubts that the KGB played around with Catholic organizations or secret societies should check into the case of the notorious FBI mole Robert Hanssen who was instructed by his KGB Commie slavemaster handlers to join Opus Dei and read National Review so he would look like a devout conservative anti-Communist. The involvement of the KGB in other secret societies came to light during the investigations of moles in British intelligence. During the 1980s, if one had been a literate adult reading the investigations of Peter Wright and Chapman Pincher (or British newspapers) and related materials, these details came into the public domain and record. It is now well-known in the annals of intelligence that homosexual Marxists were recruited by the KGB via and in secret societies at England's prestigious Cambridge University. Oddly enough, one of the more prominent "theorists" of anti-Catholic conspiracies was the Cambridge priest Robert Hugh Benson, son of a prominent Anglican cleric, as I recall. These facts did not originate from the boardrooms or chapter meetings of the John Birch Society or any other crackpot outfit designed to make conspiracy theories look silly and intemperate or as the ravings of umbalanced sub-educated lone nuts or kooks. And for that matter, neither did any of the numerous papal warnings on the subject. If the John Birch Society controlled all theorizing on the subject they apparently recruited George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Ian Fleming, Winston Churchill, Edmund Burke, Pedro Arrupe, and at least 11 pontiffs as well as several scholars of KGB espionage during the Cold War. That's quite an achievement.

available on the internet and in the public record for all to see, the KGB undressed:

Robert P. Hanssen, the Russian mole in FBI counterintelligence, reportedly told an Opus Dei priest in 1980 that he had begun his paid work for the KGB in Washington DC in 1979-1980. The KGB officer at the Soviet Embassy in Washington then in charge of vetting Americans who offered their services was Vitaly Yurchenko. As such, Yurchenko would have had to sign off on the cash payments to Hanssen (payments which the Opus Dei priest suggested should be donated to charity.)

Yurchenko also had two later liaisons with the Hanssen case. After Yurchenko returned to Moscow in 1981, he became deputy chief of the KGB department that had the responsibility for coordinating all KGB moles in the FBI, CIA, NSA and other United States intelligence services. He thus would be continually monitoring Hanssen's paid contributions to the work of the KGB. Then, on August 1, 1985, Yurchenko defected to the United States and offered to expose a high-level KGB mole called "Robert" in a US intelligence service. Robert Hanssen was part of the FBI counterintelligence team that was then guided by Yurchenko in its search for the elusive mole codenamed "Robert."
