INSIDE COVER Inside the Secret World of Opus Dei If the average person has never heard of Opus Dei (God's Work), it is not surprising, for it really does operate like a shadow government behind the Vatican. Those involved in the organization assert that their aims are purely spiritual, yet they aid the Pope in furthering his political agenda. And while they are masters of technology, Opus Dei's roots are most assuredly medieval. Its members include the Pope's personal secretary, his spokesman, and certain of his ministers. Behind them stand the ranks of political and moral strategists at the Opus Dei headquarters in Rome, and behind them, eighty thousand members worldwide, including university lecturers, international bankers, cardinals, and newspaper editors. "A highly detailed account ... a fluid read [that] blows away the mist." -- National Catholic Reporter "Robert Hutchison provides a thorough, highly entertaining guide to this ... self-important organization." -- Dominic Swords, Focus Magazine.
