only women sleep on boards all the time

Fr. John Wauck is an Opus Dei priest and a seminary professor in Rome. According to his blog, the "women sleep on boards" stuff is rubbish.

Over the years, I've known many Opus Dei priests and super-numeraries. If Opus Dei had never existed, all you would say about them is that they are devout Catholics who study, pray, go to regular confession, etc. Nothing extraordinary about them in any way. There was the hope latent in them that I would also "whistle"--i.e., express a desire to become a member--but I saw no reason to join a specific team in the Catholic League.

It has been awhile since I read the book but I never picked up anything bad about this group from the book. Yes, the one priest character was bad but I never picked up a condemnation of the whole group. Maybe I was having an off day.

Opus Dei (“Work of God,” in Latin) is a hierarchical institution of the Catholic Church, a personal prelature. Its purpose is to contribute to the evangelizing mission of the Church. Specifically, it educates people about the universal call to sanctity and the sanctifying value of ordinary work. Opus Dei was founded by Saint Josemaría Escrivá in 1928.

I had a friend at Notre Dame who lived in an Opus Dei and was part of that organization. He and his friends there struck me as some of the most sincere, good-hearted Catholics that I've ever known.
