Opus Dei was his "cover." It's called a legend in tri-letter espionage speak. To make him look conservative. Most likely there were other KGB moles sent in and they could use the already existing semi-secretive structure of Opus Dei for meeting, socializing, and advancement. When I was involved in Catholic higher education professionally there were definite advantages to being connected with Opus Dei networks. Socially, professionally, and financially.

So you are saying he was not really an Opus Dei member, or a believing Catholic?
