Biased Portrayal, Showing Jesuit-Opus Rivalry,
By
This review is from: Opus Dei (Hardcover)
Walsh, a former Jesuit, bases many conclusions about Opus (admittedly) on the Prelate's constitution of 1950! He holds the Prelature hostage to practices based on their rule of half a century ago. What if someone's only view of America's south was a snapshot of 1954? While it may be true that Escriva was slow to embrace the liturgical changes of the Second Vatican Council, so were thousands of clerics ordained before 1969. Opus influence in anti-Marxist dictatorships is frequently cited, yet there exists no apology for Jesuits holding state positions in Ortega's Sandanista Cabinet! He concludes that Opus is "less Christian" than those who practice Liberation Theology. Ironically, it was a member of Walsh's former Order that was a US Congressman with a Pro-Abortion voting record.

scarcly accurate,
By cmcmna@hotmail.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Opus Dei (Hardcover)
If the researcher of this book had any matter about the 'secret society', he would know that for one: Opus Dei is not an order (to start with). The inaccurate ability to distort what Mr. Walsh considers to be his inside view shows that he also has an disregard for the Catholic Church aswell and therefore from the outset, it is really not worthy of being the 'whole truth' if his personal inhibitions are going to get in the way. Truely, you would not call this objective research. I am sorry but I think this book needs to be redone in an ordered light to what really is Opus Dei (a light for those who want to search for God in their ordinary day).

Biased book,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Opus Dei (Hardcover)
The book is unfortunately highly biased and riddled with inaccuracies. Messori's book, on the other hand, provides a balanced and accurate representation of Opus Dei.

OPUS DEI IS UNMASKED,
By jorge montoya - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Opus Dei (Hardcover)
WALSH HAS DONE HIS HOMEWORK! AN EXCELLENT BOOK FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN POLITICS, CONSPIRACIES, OR RELIGIOUS ISSUES. WALSH IS ABLE TO GO DEEP INTO THIS WORLD OF OPUS DEI AND GIVE US A HISTORY OF THIS ORDER AND REASONS WHY IT HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL ORDERS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SINCE THE JESUITS. VERY INFORMATIVE AND BACKED BY OTHER BOOKS, NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, AND INTERVIEWS, AND PERSONAL TESTIMONY. WALSH REVEALS SECRETS OF THE ORDER, ESPECIALLY ITS ROLE IN POLITICS AROUND THE WORLD; THE READER WILL NOT WANT TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN. AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO BEGIN THE SEARCH FOR THE HIDDEN TRUTH OF OPUS DEI. THE BOOK IS MORE INFORMATIVE THAN BIAS AND CRITICAL, BUT MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT THE READER IS LEFT WANTING MORE!
