From the Drudge Report:
Clinton appointed former FBI director, Louis Freeh has just received Italian Citizenship thanks to his efforts in fighting organized crime in Italy. Both he and the infamous Robert Hanssen were members of Opus Dei and working for the FBI. Freeh described the Hanssen breech as disastrous, while he himself worked closely with Russian Police against organized crime in Russia according to Accuracy in Media.
Just before 9-11, Freeh left his job as Director of the CIA. He went to work defending a Saudi Prince Bandar, embroiled in a corruption case. He was also working with Fanny Mae according to Politics Daily.
There does seem to be a bit of a question about Louis Freeh's membership in Opus and the evidence is available in this article at Harvard Crimson which fairly discloses his close association with that organization.

Canon Law dealing with Homosexuality
Unfortunately, a lot of people think that their personal tastes and desires have supreme legistlative power, and in so much as they are ruled by their emotions, they confer this false and naive charity upon others whose crimes they benevolently wish excuse.
Despite the canonical fact that homosexuals are excluded from priestly formation and religious life, even in the New Canon Code of 1983, but also according to a 2005 clarification with the long title, Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders., homosexuls are still admitted to the religious life against the lessons of history and the Canon Law itself.
The document contains the following passage:
It's not our intention to usurp the office of canon lawyers or bishops, but when this document was released in 2005, there was quite a bit of encouragement and hope that orthodoxy would be the rule of the day and that bishops would restrict the entrance into the seminary, those who lack the affective maturity to relate to men and women in the life of the Church.
Obviously, these rules haven't been implemented with the same force throughout the Church. Some superiors and bishops no doubt exhibit a great deal of clemency in this regard, but there has to be a point at which credulity is stretched beyond its breaking point.

The document contains the following passage:
In the light of such teaching, this Dicastery, in accord with the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, believes it necessary to state clearly that the Church, while profoundly respecting the persons in question[9], cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practise homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called "gay culture"[10].
