the <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Leonine\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Leonine</span></a> <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Forum\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Forum</span></a>, <br />a program for top graduates designed to provide them with “intellectual and spiritual seriousness.” </p><p>It, too, brought in generous donations from wealthy Catholics keen to steep the leaders of tomorrow in Church teachings. </p><p>As ever, the Opus Dei name was kept out of any promotional material <br />— but, even so, such events deepened the organization’s presence among America’s most influential Catholics. </p><p>For Father Arne, the ultimate goal of this outreach was transforming the political sphere, <br />almost every aspect of which had grown more and more secular over the years. </p><p>He believed that policy simply couldn’t be made by people who weren’t versed in the universal truths of the Church. </p><p>His mission was to reverse this creeping secularism <br />— and put Opus Dei at the heart of a spiritual awakening. </p><p>Around the same time, <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Luis\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Luis</span></a> <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Tellez\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Tellez</span></a>, a celibate member of Opus Dei at Princeton, organized a conference at the Vatican that was billed as <br />“an interreligious colloquium on the complementarity of man and woman.” </p><p>While the initiative was officially the idea of the Princeton academic <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Robby\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Robby</span></a> <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/George\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>George</span></a>, Tellez and his Opus Dei colleagues in Rome oversaw the organization of the conference. </p><p>The &quot;Witherspoon Institute&quot;, an organization set up by Tellez and George, made a large donation to the Opus Dei university in Rome around the same time. </p><p>“Oftentimes, Robby will open the door, you know,” Tellez explained. <br />“I’m a nobody.” </p><p>The Humanum conference created some additional cachet for Opus Dei operatives in the United States, <br />who used this important gathering of religious leaders as an enticement to woo big-name Catholic conservatives. </p><p>Leonard Leo was one of those invited to participate. </p><p>The invitation dovetailed with a wider effort at the Catholic Information Center to entice Leo into the Opus Dei orbit. </p><p>At around the same time as the Humanum conference, Leo was invited onto the CIC board. </p><p>Their two worlds were already entwined. </p><p>Leo’s children went to the two Opus Dei schools <br />— The Heights for the boys and Oakcrest for the girls <br />— and he and his wife played an active part in school life, <br />donating thousands of dollars a year in addition to the many thousands they were paying in tuition for their various children. </p><p>The Leos were also regulars at a deeply conservative church in McLean, <br />not far from their home, <br />that was popular with many of the city’s Opus Dei members. </p><p>Both parties were also becoming ever more aggressive politically. </p><p>In 2011, Leo teamed up with Clarence Thomas’s wife <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Ginni\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Ginni</span></a> to co-found another nonprofit that successfully opposed an Islamic center being built near the site of the 9 ⁄11 attacks in New York, <br />denigrated as the “Ground Zero Mosque.” </p><p>A year later, he joined the board of the Catholic Association, another non-profit linked to the Corkerys, that funded campaigns to oppose same-sex marriage. </p><p>For its part, the Catholic Information Center <br />— despite in theory being apolitical <br />— had also joined a suit against the Obama administration, <br />challenging the requirement that employers provide and pay for contraception, <br />sterilization, and abortion-causing drugs as part of employee health insurance plans. </p><p>The appointment of Leo came despite misgivings among the Opus Dei national leadership, <br />and illustrated a transactional attitude toward this increasingly influential figure with deep connections to dark money. </p><p>“He’s a figure in Washington, and he may have had kids in the school down there,” explained Father Tom Bohlin, <br />who headed Opus Dei in the United States at the time <br />— and who met Leo at the Humanum conference in Rome. </p><p>“I’m not sure he even understands Opus Dei, but at a certain level, he likes what we do <br />— certain things <br />— and wants to support that.” </p><p>The appointment of Leo marked a shift in the CIC board. </p><p>For years, it had been run by Father Arne, another priest, and a smattering of volunteers drawn from the congregation. </p><p>The makeup of the board was decidedly unpolitical <br />— a mix of academics, lawyers, and volunteers who helped run the bookshop. </p><p><a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Pat\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Pat</span></a> <a
