Description
Countless
orders and specialties reside in the recesses of Catholic theology and
practice. And recently, one was unwillingly thrust into the spotlight.
With the publication of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, millions of
people around the world had their first exposure to Opus Dei, an
introduction that was less than flattering to its members and practices.
Decoding the Past goes far beyond the bestseller lists to reveal the
truth about Opus Dei. Founded in 1928 by Spaniard Josemaria Escriva de
Balaguer, it encourages members, most of whom are lay professionals, to
find God through work and daily life. The most orthodox commit to a
celibate life, live in Opus Dei residences, give the majority of their
income to the organization, and practice corporal mortification, the
infliction of self-pain as a holy act of sacrifice. Now, Opus Dei
leaders grant unprecedented access as we lift the veil surrounding their
mysterious organization to reveal the truths and demystify the myths
