Beware of Radicals

Regarding the selection of Archbishop Jose Gomez to take over as Los Angeles' next archbishop, a news heading from the Telegraph reads as follows:

Pope's 'revenge' as LA gets Opus Dei bishop

A member of the radically-orthodox Catholic group Opus Dei has been appointed as the new Archbishop of Los Angeles.

It's risible, really. It's not sufficient to say simply "Catholic group" or even "traditional Catholic group"...no, we need to use "radically-orthodox" to describe Opus Dei. So predictable, the press.
