Copyright and JME's will
Interesting article from Infovaticana earlier this week:
It's a follow-up on a piece they wrote in July: https://infovaticana.com/2026/07/05/santa-coaccion-escriva-y-el-gobierno-de-las-conciencias/
I thought we'd had a discussion in this sub about the July article, but I can no longer find it. If anyone can find it and comment with the link, I'll add it to this post.
In any case, TLDR: Infovaticana published a full, unredacted meditation of JME, in which his methods of coercing his "children" are clear. One of his typical, "It's not a sin to do xyz, but it is bad spirit, and bad spirit can be sinful..." And of course telling members never to go outside of OD for spiritual guidance, etc.
In response, IV received a letter—not from OD or its reps, not from the Vatican, but from the company that holds the copyright to JME's writings, forcing them to take down the portion of the writings that they don't want published. A Spanish corporation (run by OD members, no doubt) is in charge of cherrypicking which of JME's writings is fit for public consumption and what's for internal use only. And they sue anyone who publishes the stuff they don't want outsiders to see.
One other fun tidbit from this article: JME died intestate—that's right, the man who coerced thousands of people into writing their wills for the benefit of OD, died himself without a will.
