What About Opus Dei?

Ethics Daily posted a story about the acquittal of five persons who were accused of being involved in the murder of Robert Calvi aka "God's Banker." The article mentions mafia connections and other organizations that may have had an interest in securing Calvi's death. The article does not mention Calvi's links to "Opus Dei," but it should.

Since several members of the U.S. Supreme Court also have links to this secretive Catholic organization, it wouldn't hurt for every American to learn something about "Opus Dei."

Forget about what you've read in works of fiction like The Davinci Code. I suggest Robert Hutchison's Their Kingdom Come: Inside the Secret World of Opus Dei.

You may also want to read John Allen's Opus Dei: An Objective Look Behind the Myths and Reality of the Most Controversial Force in the Catholic Church. It's the latest book about the subject.
