Weren't Freeh and Hanssen (sp) both members of the Opus Dei arm of the Roman Catholic Church?
To: Fred Mertz
The Opus Dei prelature has several levels of participation.
There are the Opus Dei clergy, known as the Priestly Fraternity of the Holy Cross; numeraries - laypersons who are celibate, full-time workers in Opus Dei; supernumeraries, laypersons who are generally married or who plan to marry and who live in the workaday world; and cooperators, who are not necessarily even Catholic and not really members of the prelature.
Freeh and Hansen were supernumeraries if they were actual members. They may just have been cooperators. No news article I've seen makes it clear.
