I don't know much about Opus Dei, however I think the world would be more interesting if Jose Maria Escriva, whether or not he is a saint got his wish and received an indult for all Opus Dei priests to say the Latin Mass instead of the Novus Ordo. So if Opus Dei has one good thing about it, the founder did not want to say the New Mass, and since he himself received that indult for himself alone, but not for all of Opus Dei, it is possible that he never did say the New Mass, or at least if he did say it, at least he preferred the Latin Mass.
Escriba had no intention to put the stops on the revolution. In fact he fostered the revolution. I don't believe he had any religious objects to the new mass. My guess is that, because of his age and his poor vision he just did not want to learn and change from his usual pattern of living.
About Marshall, watching him speak creeps me out. It is probably meaningless, but when I look at the way he speaks and how he moves his lips and his mouth when speaking, he looks like a liar to me. Like he has lying lips. This is probably meaningless as how can one judge his truthfulness just by merely looking at his face? So it is not important and is probably just my mistrust of him as an enemy of tradition who has converted somehow and sets himself up as a teacher as if he were a traditional Catholic for thirty years. Voris also creeps me out, even before it came out that he was a sodomite, for similar superficial reasons that are not important. But I do not think Marshall has as much baggage as Voris, as he is a family man with a lot of cute children and not a lifetime of barren sodomy behind him.
I have a similar reaction to him, though I must say that he seems more genuine than before, but that may be that he is learning to polish his act.
I disagree that judgments made through observation of facial expressions and movements are meaningless. They can be helpful, but not decisive.
What gets me is that, one year or less into his new status as Catholic, he is director of a Catholic Enquiry Centre, and copious other similar appointments and positions, and running seven websites at one time etc etc. And he gives his own kids their daily bath. Who is he? Superman?
