This is not true. Opus Dei does not focus on politics either within the Church or in government as far as I have understood it. It is more of a halfwaypoint between being a normal parish member of the church, and being completely dedicated to the Church as a monk or nun. Opus Dei fills a need for Catholics who want more from their Catholic life, but live in the secular world with families and jobs of their own.
That is my understanding, and I completely respect that focus and effort. C. S. Lewis once wrote that a fanatic is one whose faith is more robust than one’s own. Imagine that . . . taking one’s faith seriously. No wonder the left and the materialist right doesn’t get it.
Exactly right, Vince.
