Fr. Peter Stravinskas on Opus Dei

By Fr. Peter M. J. Stravinskas, Ph.D., S.T.D. He is founding editor of The Catholic Answer magazine and the author of over 30 books and 500 articles.

Q. My husband and I are loosely affiliated to Opus Dei as cooperators, and like you we are surprised at the attitude of so many diocesan priests. After all, Opus Dei is very loyal to the Pope. Why would this threaten so many priests?

A. It's an indication of the sad state of affairs in some places that loyalty to the Holy Father is automatically interpreted as belonging to some type of secret society. Often I am "accused" of being a member because I represent orthodox Catholic teaching.
