Cass,

Will you help us by saying why Daniel's position viz a viz "The Da Vinci Code",  is similar to the Opus Dei's position?  See this below. Carlos. 


THE DA VINCI CODE AND H.P.B.  
 
Dear Friends,
 
 
Art changes the world.  
 
Fiction often reveals deeper facts than the conventional descriptions of reality, because  these are normally controlled by centralized power-mechanisms,  be them “scholarly”, “political” or “religious”.   
 
Thus,  the “Da Vinci Code” controversy has been a tool by which the reality of Jesuitism/OpusDeism gets  better known by  the wide public. 
 
 
H. P. Blavatsky wrote that the “political”  and “occult” scheme organized by Jesuits is of no small proportions.  In fact, the Roman Catholic Church is even now a worldwide cultural and religious institution of great power to control people’s minds, though it  was much more so in the 19th century.
 
H.P.B. wrote:
 
“....... It would be well perhaps, if the Jesuits contented themselves with making dupes of Freemasons and opposing the Theosophists and Occultists using for it the Protestant clergy  as ‘cat’s paw’.”
 
Here, HPB is saying that the Protestant Rev. George Patterson, of the Christian College in Madras, was used by the Jesuits in  his campaign against Theosophy. There are wide  sections of the Protestant world that do play the Vatican game. For instance, in the 1930s and 1940s Germany, Catholics and Protestants both gave their suppor to A. Hitler.  In India, in the 1880s,  both agreed to fight Theosophy by all means. 
 
 Describing the Jesuitical  plans, HPB proceeds:  
 
“But their plottings have a much wider scope, and embraced a minuteness of detail and care of which the world in general has no idea. Everything is done   by  them to bring the mass of mankind again to the state of passive ignorance which they well know is the only one which can help them to the consummation of their purpose of Universal Despotism.” (1) 
 
 
An  investigation on  present-day Opus Day -- an organization which  imitates Masonry (2)  --  might  give us some more light on the subjetc,  and help us clear our vision regarding  the future.  
 
Best regards,   Carlos Cardoso Aveline

Assunto:Re: Theos-World Opus Dei and the code of conduct

> Thanks Morten for bringing this to my attention. Perhaps Carlos would be better suited to address the real enemies of theosophy, viz the Jesuits and Opus Dei? Theosophy will do itself no good by pretending that there were no "bad apples" in it's past.

Joaquin Navarro-Valls, for instance -- director of the Vatican Press Office under John Paul II and re-appointed by the current Pope -- has been called the most visible representative of the Church in Rome after the Pope. Navarro-Valls has been a numerary of Opus Dei (that is, one of those who commit to celibacy and self-mortification) since the 1970s."
