Update from Opus Dei Awareness Network
Opus Dei in the Spotlight
Due to the upcoming release of the 'Da Vinci Code' film in May, Opus Dei has been featured in all areas of the media - television, radio and newsprint. The movie, based on the novel by Dan Brown, includes Opus Dei characters. As a result, ODAN (Opus Dei Awareness Network) has supplied information to many media outlets recently.

Opus Dei Affiliated Foundations
Discipline: a cord-like whip which resembles macrame, used on the buttocks or back once a week. Opus Dei members must ask permission to use it more often, which many do. The story is often told in Opus Dei that the Founder was so zealous in using the discipline, he splattered the bathroom walls with streaks of blood.
~The Cardinal of Chicago, the largest Archdiocese in the United States is a member of Opus Dei.
ODAN reminds me that today in America one can't understand political power unless one understands the power of cults.
