Dense but clearly written and very informative. At times the author struggled to make all the layers and connections clear, but that’s mostly because they’re designed to be a mess, so good for him.

While there are some glaring shortcomings to Opus (its prosaic pacing, episodic structure, and overall lack of desire to go after the Catholic Church as a whole), Gore does an admirable job of showing the rot that currently exists in the Center of conservative Catholicism and, more specifically, in conservative America. The book ends in 2023, before Trump’s second election, but as a prelude for what the world may expect from his coterie of psychotic, wealthy zealots, it’s sobering.
