text: Re: Opus Dei's "tenacious grip" on Catholicism under its re-branded format of Evangelical Catholicism. 
  
  According to the renowned and deeply respected canon lawyer/theologian, Ladislas Orsy, one must give Opus Dei credit for its "devotion to canon law after the Second Vatican Council, whereas 'progressive sectors,' including the council of laypersons, undervalued the importance of canon law."
  
  Fr. Orsy says, "Immediately after the Council...Opus Dei fostered  the cultivation of this discipline (canon law)...and from the creation of the Committee on the Revision of Canon Law, Opus Dei took an active role in it.  Today Opus Dei has a flourishing faculty of canon law in Rome as part of their Pontificia Universita Santa Croce."  Orsy:RECEIVING THE COUNCIL 
  
  Orsy: "Have some bishops failed to realize the existential role of law to create the freedom necessary for the reception of the Council?"  We have to wonder if this is the roadblock which Francis faces today.
