Hi Alan,

I seem to remember reading that Josef Ratzinger was not a member of Opus Dei but is sympathetic to the organization... but I might be wrong.

I was educated by Jesuits (psychological torture as opposed to the physical torture of the Christian Brothers) and, after leaving school and at university, a former classmate who was in Opus Dei tried to recruit me into it. Naturally I gave him a polite "no thank you".

Peace
