I'd like this thread to be dedicated to a Traditionalist perspective on Opus Dei. Not so much DaVinci code conspiracy stuff, but examining their organization from the structural component (numeraries/ supernumeraries, etc) to their spirituality (work is prayer, etc.)

I know the Society has a booklet on the topic but it really isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a more comprehensive review of this organization from a Traditional Catholic perspective.

One point I'd like to explore is the development of Opus Dei pre-VCII. I believe they got approval from Pius XII at some point.

Since Opus Dei has been fully approved by the Church with their founder being declared a Saint and their activities being an attractive option to many Trads with no Latin Mass nearby, I thought it prudent to conduct a running examination.

If sedes want to participate that's fine, but only to the extent you comment substantively regarding what I mentioned above  and not about the whole sede issue. I'm looking for a discussion of the entity of Opus Dei and how it compares to Traditional teaching and practice.

Any resources you can point me to would help as well. Thanks!

Thanks Roscoe. I'll check it out.
