Description

Is Opus Dei a spiritual institute dedicated to preserving Catholic orthodoxy in the face of modernist assault? Or is it an independent society, a “church within the Church,” promoting its own allegiances and preserving an antiquated set of spiritual and penitential practices? This small org. wields enormous power within the Catholic church; it operates independently of local Church authority. Opus Dei’s founder, St. Josemaria Escriva, was beatified and canonized over the vehement objections of many in the Catholic Church. Powerful members of the Vatican hierarchy are members. This book tells the real story of this mysterious org. -- a probing but balanced examination of the org., its founder, its practices, and its effect upon the Catholic Church at large.
