Review
Their Kingdom Come: Inside the Secret World of Opus Dei by Robert Hutchison purports to expose the inner workings of an extremely conservative Catholic organization headquartered in Rome, whose members include the Pope's personal secretary, his spokesman, and several of his close ministers. These leaders are supported by 80,000 other believers around the world. Opus Dei is Latin for "God's Work," and Hutchison believes that Opus Dei's divine devotions include the operation of a media network as large as Rupert Murdoch's; immense financial support of the Church; and the preparation for a new Crusade against Islam. Their Kingdom Come paints Opus Dei as a Catholic conspiracy to infiltrate the world's upper echelons of political, financial, and educational power, and suggests that the group especially prizes its Mafia connections. Hutchison, a Swiss journalist who has written for the Sunday Telegraph and Toronto's Financial Post, weakens some of his arguments with cheap shots (chapter titles include "Moneybags Theology" and "Opus Octopus"), and he leans too heavily on anonymous sources for his most scandalous accusations. The few Opus Dei members whom he does identify, do, however, evince a steely, dogmatic self-confidence: "We have been chosen by God to save the Church," says one; "We have an orthodox vision that is pure, certain, solid, assured of everything," intones another. Opus Dei is the pope's only Personal Prelature, a privileged bishopric with no geographical boundaries. Learning more about the group is worth a reader's time, and Their Kingdom Come is a fine, though flawed, way to begin that endeavor. --Michael Joseph Gross

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Founded in Spain in 1928, the fundamentalist Roman Catholic sect, Opus Dei, today has more than 80,000 members throughout the world. It is larger and more powerful than the Jesuits, and more secretive than the ministry within the Vatican known as The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, whose policies it helps to shape. Based on several years of research, this book sets out to show that Opus Dei now appears to be out of control. The story it tells involves international intrigue and a parade of corpses that includes a pope and a cardinal, several bankers, and a former Franco minister. Meanwhile, Opus Dei's strategists in Rome and Vienna prepare for Christianity's next Crusade against Islam. The author won four National Business Writing Awards for newspaper articles in Canada, and has written four previous non-fiction books on a variety of subjects. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003924940
