PLEASE NOTE: In the opinion of some neutral observers, it appears that a number of people affiliated to and/or involved with the cult-like Catholic group called Opus Dei may be currently operating within the CRC in order to potentially gather detailed personal information about individual members. In addition, they may be using high-pressure psychological cultic recruiting tactics against the CRC community with the theoretical goal of possibly infiltrating the CRC leadership and/or membership.
Also, please note that additional neutral observers have observed a large percentage of people who are possibly recruiting for, involved with and/or affiliated to Opus Dei within the groups Wall Street Catholic Young Adults in downtown Manhattan, the Cathedral of St. Patrick's Young Adults, Love and Responsibility Discussion Group, Annual Ball for Life and Theology of the Body-Times Square/St. Malachy's in midtown Manhattan. Please note that this is only the opinion and/or observations of some individuals who are connected to, concerned about and/or involved with the CRC-Holy Trinity community; it is not the official opinion and/or observation of the CRC, Holy Trinity, and/or this website. Please see additional information below.

Psalm 23:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want...
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of rightousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
