Opus Dei founder Josemaria Escrivá de Balaguer was taken another fast-track step towards sainthood by the pope last week, according to a news broadcast that I heard.
A fan of Irish author Bartholomew Gill, I have just started his "The Death of an Irish Sinner," published 2001. The back page write-up on the paperback says, "it draws his (ongoing protagonist, Peter McGarr), "ever closer to Opus Dei. A secret order of religious zealots devoted to enforcing the Lord's edicts no matter what the cost in money- or human life- it has snared the dedicted policeman in its lethal web."
Should be an interesting read.
