Opus Dei

Medawar would welcome comments from anyone who can cite an instance of an Opus Dei member joining a political pressure group, of any kind. Is it possible to identify and describe their influence on that pressure group?

Did the feel of the group change?
Did its direction change?
Did its methods become more lawful, more ethical, or was there actually a trend towards unlawful or improper methods?

For readers who work in public service, or other large and powerful organizations (you are not going to find many Opus Dei members where there are no levers of power) Medawar would welcome any comments concerning Opus Dei members, but especially those concerning the impact of the Opus Dei member on the appoinment and subsequent careers of others within the organization.

Does the Opus Dei member systematically favour persons from a particular profile?
Do they set out to disadvantage certain others, perhaps Baptists, Quakers or Elim Pentacotalists?

Do they gather more information on colleagues than they properly should?

Readers interested in Opus Dei should read the post on "Common Purpose", because members of one might be mistaken for graduates of the other.

As always, post comment anonymously if you're not certain that your web identity is secure and does not allow you to be easily identified. If an Opus Dei or Common Purpose person shares your workplace at any level, don't use your private web identity with any workplace computer.
