The book (I have not seen the movie) suggests that the Catholic church is secretive and capable of covering up something that would hurt the church. The book suggests that Opus Dei is wealthy, powerful and backwards wishing to push women back into involuntary subservience.

Shhh. There's no fiction there

[Campion]

The book suggests that Opus Dei is wealthy, powerful and backwards wishing to push women back into involuntary subservience.

It "suggests" a whole lot more than that, and both of you know it. It "suggests" that O.D. is full of murdering lunatics who go around killing people on the orders of eeeevil bishops, when they aren't flagellating themselves bloody. Except that it doesn't just "suggest" that, it says so flat out, in so many words.

And that is what's technically called a slanderous lie.
