An Inside Look at the Secretive Catholic Organization Made Famous by The Da Vinci Code 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 organization wields enormous power within the Catholic Church. Due to its status as a "personal prelature" of the pope, it operates independently of local Church authority. The influence of Opus Dei has only grown since this book first appeared. Opus Dei's founder, St. Josemar#65533;a Escriv#65533;, was beatified and canonized over the vehement objections of many in the Catholic Church. Powerful members of the Vatican hierarchy, including the pope's own spokesman, are members. The bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code has made millions aware of Opus Dei. This classic investigation is needed now more than ever. It tells the real story of this mysterious organization -- a probing but balanced examination of the organization, its charismatic founder, its practices, and its effect upon the Catholic Church at large.

Of course much of Walsh's concerns may still come to pass (Catholics have been known to play the long game), but the main thrust of his fear is that an Opus Dei member will become not the next Pope but the one after, which, considering that Pope John Paul II was the then Pope, means that Pope Francis is the Pope Opus Dei supposedly has in the pocket. As Pope Francis is one of the more progressive pontiffs, I'm not sure that's right. Still, as a lifelong agnostic, there is much I don't know about this world, and the murky workings of the Vatican is certainly something I know little about.
There is probably something more up to date written about Opus Dei but you may well find something of interest in "Opus Dei" (
