Yesterday I suddenly found myself with an interview with Jose Maria Gironella (author of "The Cypresses Believe in God" on television. Now I find out who has died and I gather that is why this interview was scheduled.
Just want to tell you something I heard in case anyone might be interested, because he said some things about Opus Dei.
He said that in Opus Dei never forgave him for something he had written many years ago in a newspaper article. He had the misfortune to write that "the Way, the book Escrivá, were simply jokes 999 Aragon" and cited some points of memory as the "holy coercion" or the "iron fist in velvet glove" to illustrate the hypocrisy and pettiness of such spiritual considerations. Esccritor himself said in the interview that from that moment he closed the doors and that for example, in the newspaper La Vanguardia and he never published anything of what he sent. And this was because there is, or was, one of the opus in the direction of the newspaper or in a position of responsibility.
Moreover Gironella said in the interview, which had some good friends in the Opus, as Joaquin Navarro Vals, the papal spokesman.

As explained to him the doors closed the newspaper for having made such comments yet Opus had a friend of Joaquin Navarro Vals relevance?.

Is it the hypocrisy of the children of Opus, who want to have friends on all sides, so they know which side is the air?
