In the sect Opus Dei militant many characters and little character of the Partido Popular (PP), a political party that brings together the current law in Spain.
Famous examples of PP that are members of the sect (in May 2002):

1. Federico Trillo - Defense

2. Isabel Tocino - former Minister of Environment

3. Loyola de Palacio - former Minister and current European Commission Vice President


I wonder who else are members of Opus Dei, both in the government of Spain and all public bodies, as well as celebrities who belong to the sect. Please, if you have data, add it to this issue.
Oh, and of course he believes. Freedom of opinion is something that Opus denies its followers, but not me.

In Argentina, "Lilith" Carrrió was careful not to mention Opus entrepreneurs in his report of washing, so that the Sagrada Familia Argentina's ruling could be immaculate

In response to Ulysses, Paco Botella was quoted by Jaroslav Pelikan of those before the war, so now would be about 80 years, I think it died recently. No family if Ana Botella, if anything serious guy.
I do not think Ana Botella and Loyola de Palacio are of the Work does not hit them by many who have made statements that do not jibe with what would be the "correct doctrine"

I have the correct behavior or doctrines of Opus does not seem very reliable to know if someone follows this organization or not. They left the press in cases in which talk about how to war or ideological enfretamientos Opus has people on both sides (though more support to one), this makes me wonder, though one can not say anything, of course.

Friends, the list just made Ulysses is the best evidence that there is nothing like building a truth that a lie repeated many times (I'm not calling a liar, eh, Ulysses?): Loyola de Palacio is not the work. He has said in several interviews, but nothing, conventional wisdom has awarded its membership and is already inside. Another one: I think Ana Botella not supernumerary (while maintaining very good relations with Opus Dei) and Francisco Botella (yes it is and must be 70 years or older) but not his brother man. The rest of the list of Ulysses I can not say more than Federico Trillo who it is and any more.

Guest anonymous, was not I who said that these people belong to Opus, I was merely repeating what others have said in this forum topic, you'd know that if you had read a little more worried about interventions that are in the same .

It is true that you can try something to be true repeated many times, that's like trying to make people believe Opus seeking holiness despite continually practice the opposite.

Moreover, if all "affiliates" or sympathizers of Opus recognize him, or Opus more open, not open to resort to these means to know that people with political power, institutional or otherwise are members of that organization.

At the time I have been on the agenda, I have met many characters, major and minor service, the novelty is no difference between them at the level of importance, ie not the same be exercised spiritual course, they measure the level of people who will attend the retreat, to avoid rumors of who they are ... The question is how many there are who do not know, and pull the strings, economics, politics and other fields?. They help each other, the cronyism and discretion. I've been exchanging a few notes of selectivity and a court doctor, so natural like a daily thing. That's what's scary. The feeling that by not remain in them, will hurt morale, put on a blacklist, losing a competition knowing that you're more prepared, maybe I exaggerate, but I think it's real. I invite you on this forum to encourage us to have these experiences, a si, unmasked cronyism, sects.

To test whether messages are not lost since, and given the comments made on this issue on the membership of Opus Ana Botella, I comment that some time ago I read about their "pecking" at various religious groups, Opus Dei, Legionaries of Christ etc. Ana Botella According to this article belongs to none but sympathize with them, which in turn seem interested in attracting their organizations.
Curiously, this article has disappeared from where he was staying.

On 12 December 1999, replacing Bishop Ambrose Echebarría, takes possession of the diocese of Barbastro: Juan José Omella Omella.

On October 19, 2001 in Pamplona died Bishop of Jaca, Jose Maria Conget. Y. .., 6 days later, on 25 October that year, died, also in Pamplona, Javier Oses bishop of the Diocese of Huesca.

As the day of the consecration of the new parish is St. Joseph, dedicated to the then still, blessed Josemaria Escriba de Balaguer, who dominated the three dioceses of Upper Aragon Opus Dei Bishop Juan José Omella Omella.

It is rumored that although he says they got new bishops to replace him in the diocese of Jaca and Huesca be definitively ruled by one ..., you know whom, of course: Bishop Juan Jose Omella opus Omella.

Does anybody give more?

I've seen in the magazine HOLA!, In a note to society dedicated to the celebration in Rome for the canonization of the scribe, in which, incidentally comes a photo that appears Paloma Sánchez Borrero. I've seen, I say the name written with two accents Josamaría Josemaria.
Do you write well?, Is a failure of the magazine, or does will be written from now on because it sounds more pompous? Certainly sounds more bombastic "?

In Uruguay, Opus works hard in many institutions, including government, people in charge have almost all ministries.

The group held sad and Peirano, had ramifications within Opus, one of its members is cash and is in jail.

This group funded project as the University of Montevideo (Opus) the Institute of Business Studies (Opus), Monte VI school and others.

Some companies not being of Opus, as fronts in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay, through them, the Work, will justify the washing of income, contributions and donations made by the good folks who admire them.

Moreover, it is believed and there is a strong suspicion in Buenos Aires to New York's building was completed payment thereof by the Peirano family. This may have triggered the collapse of the Velox group, is that the idea of space in the sky is stronger. Now, consulting the sources of the Work, say they made donations of $ 1 to thousands of families supported within and outside the USA.

My question is, if they are only 80,000 members worldwide, as they could pay $ 42 million. At the base of 100,000, are $ 420 each. Odd, no?. Or is "washing" something out there that do not know. The traffickers have the right to heaven too, depends on how much want to "repent" in this world.

Austral University Hospital Austral of Argentina are 100% Opus (was invested a whopping $ 22 million in a country that has many social problems. The hospital was completely donated by Perez Compan. They do not serve poor, first must be qualified by a Foundation, which investigates all his life and family see if there is something or someone who can be useful to the work.

And more, so much data that would fill this forum server

A greeting.

in this letter which I copied and pasted appears a long list of famous members:

Their presence in the environment of the royal family dates back to the time when the Opus bet on the prince Juan Carlos as successor to Franco. Since then, Federico Suarez, a member of the Work, was first the tutor of the prince and then the chaplain of the Royal House. And Laura Hurtado de Mendoza, also of the Work, is the secretary of Sofia. In Moncloa, neither José María Aznar and Ana Botella declare not to be even supporters of the Work. But the president's grandfather, Manuel Aznar, a close friend of Escrivá, she is the niece of Jose Botella, one of the most recognized members of the Work during the regime, and their children went to school and Pinoalbar Peñalba, governed by the ideology of the work.

The apparatus of PP has a large presence of members of Opus in their ranks. Among the members and supporters are very near Federico Trillo, Cristobal Montoro, Jesús Cardenal, José Manuel Otero Novas, Emilio Recorder Case, Juan Antonio Gomez Angulo, Roger Baone, Isabel Tocino, Loyola de Palacio, Juan Luis de la Vallina, Benigno Blanco Andres Ollero, Juan Ramón Calero, Juan Jose Lucas, Miguel Angel Cortes, Jose Manuel Romay, Ana Mato, Juan Cotino, Jose Maria Michavila (though he says he left), Paul Guardans Joaquin April Martorell, Alberto de la Hera, Maria Concepcion Dancausa, Pilar Pulgar, Francisco Gilet, Rosa will be, Gabriel Oliver, Manuel Milian, Vicente Martinez Pujalte, Pedro Agramunt, Eduardo Rodríguez Espinosa, Manuel Archers Camisón, José María García Magallan, Carlos Robles Piquer, Jose Antonio Orza, John Pineiro, Fernando Diez Moreno, Luis Maria Huete or Jesus Pedroche.

Members of the Work are also present in other games: Jaime Ignacio del Burgo and Jesus Aizpun on UPN; Lluís Alegre, Concepción Ferrer, Joaquin Molins in CiU and even Rafael Larreina in Eusko Alkartasuna. Its penetration is lower for PSOE, although one of his former ideologues, Ludolph Paramio, was in the works and then abandoned it.

But the influence of the work transcends the political sphere to be rooted in the economic and financial sector. According to Santiago Aroca, author of a comprehensive independent investigation into the Opus, the network reaches over 1,500 companies and societies. The organization moves a year, only in Spain, about 180 million euros.

The traditional area of influence of the work in this sector has been the People's Bank, chaired by one of its Fellows, Dennis Weaver, and his brother, Javier. But Opus has put members and supporters in key positions of other major banks and companies. Among them are or were, Emilio de Ybarra, former chairman of BBV, Juan Alfaro, Alfaro business owner, Pablo Bofill, a former president of Banco Atlántico, Guzmán Lacalle, former vice president of RACE, Jose J. Dronda Sancho, former president of the Spanish Confederation of Savings Banks (CECA), Juan Palomeras Beams, former president of Banco de Navarra, Jose M. Arana Aizpurua, vice president of Rioja Alta SA, Federico Isart, SCH man linked to the Fundación Marcelino Botin, Victor Mendoza, a former director of the Institute of Economic Studies, Ramon Mas, lawyer Eugene Galdón, president of Ono Jaime Vicens, former president by Scepter Publishers; Casimiro Molins, president of Cementos Molins and former administrator of Naarden International, Rafael Termes, president of the Spanish Banking Association between 1966 and 1990, Jose Maria Aristrain JMAristraín Corporation president, Jose Maria Council, former secretary BBV council; Aristobulus of John, former advisor to the International Monetary Fund, Alvaro Dornecq, rancher and farmer, Mariano Navarro, former finance minister, Antonio Garcia Fernandez, former owner of Jots, Antonio Rico Altuna, company president Echevarria, or former president of the National Securities Market Juan Fernández Armesto.

In the field of Justice, the Attorney General Jesus Cardenal, are in the orbit of the work of judges José Luis Requero, who is also vocal of the Supreme Judicial Council, Luis Román Puerta, Marti and Antonio Vicente Conde, and Prosecutors Jesus Santos and Antonio del Moral.

This strong presence is related to the specialization of the Work from Vatican teaching. Besides the University of Navarre, with his twenty colleges and university hospital, Opus controls the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de la Empresa (IESE), in which international council sitting presidents of large corporations and banks. There are already many professors of the Work as Meilan Jose Luis Gil, director of the University of La Coruña, law professors Alvaro D'Ors, Jose Desantes,

Andrés de la Oliva, Gaspar Ariño and Rafael Navarro-Valls, the Information Sciences Javier Fernandez del Moral, Luis Nunez Ladevéze, Manuel Fernández Areal, José Luis Martínez Albertos, Geology, Ramon Llamas, and Latin, Antonio Fontan.

The link with the media is almost foundational. "We have to wrap the world in newspapers, he would say Escriva. Among the means somehow linked to the Work cited "Expansion", "Economic News", "Brand", "Telva", "Word" and "Christian World." Among the journalists and editors associated with the Work are: Juan Pablo de Villanueva, Juan Kindelan, Miguel Plato, Luis Ayllon, José María García Hoz, Covadonga O'Shea, José Luis Cebrián Bone, Pilar Urbano, José Antonio Vidal-Quadras, Ramon Pi, Paul Irazazábal, Luis Ignacio Seco, Francisco Prados de la Plaza, Bordiú Joaquin Jose Apezarena, Estarriol Ricardo, Miguel Castellvi, Pilar Cambra and Justin Sinova.

Also part of the many circles of Opus Dei church. Directly linked to the Work is the Vatican spokesman, Joaquin Navarro Valls, the director of the Vatican's diplomatic school, Justo Mullor, or the president of the Pontifical Council for the Interpretation of Legislative Texts, the Spanish also Julian Herranz.

Escriva got charisma to attract thousands. Perhaps because for centuries there had been excessive clericalization of the Church, to the point that many thought that to achieve holiness, he must withdraw from the world, become a monk, priest or nun. Escriva, however, anticipating the Vatican, recalls that holiness is possible within the world, "making heroic verse out of the ordinary prose of each day ~ 'as he liked to say.
