The January 19-25, 2017 issue of the Arlington
Catholic Herald READ HERE has brief story about the upcoming election of a
new prelate for Opus Dei. A quote from
the article gives this information:
"Opus Dei has about 92,600 members worldwide; 57 percent are women
and 43 percent are men, according to the Opus Dei press office." Most people I know haven't a clue what Opus
Dei is, what they do, how to join, or any of the other details about its
founding, the work it does, the classes of membership or the reasons why people
get in it, or what's more, why they choose to get out of it.Many do get out and their stories are troubling. There is a website specifically for parents of children who have been recruited into this organization from college campuses. It is the Opus Dei Awareness Network, or ODAN. It is a support group for parents who believe their children have been brainwashed and are actually under the influence of a sect or cult inside the Church.
