Media Caricatures Bear No Resemblance to Real Faces of Opus Dei
Gabriel Bouys
Pilgrims stand in front of a statue of St. Peter in St. Peter’s Square as Pope St. John Paul II offers the canonization Mass for Opus Dei founder St. Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, Oct. 6, 2002. An estimated 250,000 pilgrims from around the world attended the ceremony.

COMMENTARY: Contrary to the menacing portraits drawn by Opus Dei’s critics, St. Josemaría Escrivá founded ‘the Work’ to help people become ‘contemplatives in the midst of the world’ by sanctifying their daily lives and work.
