<p>It is no accident that Opus Dei&#39;s allies in advocating a smaller, more orthodox church are closely aligned with the U.S. Right.  For example, William

At Medjugorje, they are called the ten secrets. This book proposes that the dates and events of these 13 secrets can be known from a study of the Bible, of
