Unrest in Missouri as Opus Dei Bishop Takes Over Diocese

According to an Article in the National Catholic Reporter:

Perhaps nowhere in America has the transition from a church focused on social engagement and lay empowerment to one more concerned with Catholic identity and evangelization been more dramatic, or in some ways more wrenching, than in the Kansas City-St. Joseph, Mo., diocese since the appointment of Bishop Robert Finn.

Finn has brought the diocese, for decades a model of the former category of church practice, to a screeching halt and sent it veering off in a new direction, leaving nationally heralded education programs and high-profile lay leaders and women religious with long experience abandoned and dismayed.

Editor's note
(according to NCR
Bishop Robert Finn’s membership in Opus Dei became a matter of public record with the publication last year of Opus Dei, the book by NCR Rome correspondent John L. Allen Jr., which identified Finn as a member of the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross, one of four U.S. bishops with Opus Dei ties.)
also according to NCR
The other Opus Dei bishops in the United States are: Archbishop Jose Gomez of San Antonio, Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn and Archbishop John Myers of Newark, N.J.
