Rob Kall:
Now there's another group, or maybe it's not another group, but there's
a group called "The Family," that many of the members of the Congress are a
part of. Is there a connection between
the Family and Opus Dei?
Matthew Fox:
Yeah, well, I think the Family is a more Protestant based group. But yes, this is what's going on: The Fundamentalist Evangelical are linking up
more with the Fundamentalist Catholic.
There is a lot of linking. For
example, there's a fellow named George Weigel who has just come put with a new
book, Evangelical Catholicism. And he's a very, very Right wing
Catholic. One of the really strange
things about this book that I just read, and I'm doing a review for
[unintelligible word], is that he never mentions Opus Dei the whole book, which
is really interesting, because he's hiding something there.
But his whole goal
of this book is to link what he calls "Evangelical Catholicism" with
Evangelical Protestantism, and to create a religiously-based political Right
wing movement. He himself is a
Neocon. He cheered the Iraq war and all
the rest, even though the Pope was actually against it, and he claims complete
fidelity to the Pope. So obviously his
Neocon ideology trumps his Catholicism when there's a real crunch of
issues. These groups are in bed with
each other. More and more, the Right
wing of Catholicism has teamed up with the Right wing of Protestantism, and we see
more of these movements.

So, there are some speculations about who will replace Ratzinger. What are your thoughts on that? It sounds to me like you think it's...
