Opus Dei, portrayed as a powerful, ultraconservative Roman Catholic faction riddled with sadomasochistic ritual, one of whose members commits serial murder in pursuit of a threatening secret about the church in Dan Browns book, fervently object to their portrayal in his book.
Opus Dei’s rejects claims:
The Da Vinci Code claims that Opus Dei’s members are monks. There are no monks in Opus Dei.The Da Vinci Code describes Opus Dei as endorsing criminal behavior; Opus Dei condemns criminal activity they insist.
The Da Vinci Code calls Opus Dei a “cult” and a “sect.” In fact, Opus Dei is a fully integrated entity of the Catholic Church.
The Da Vinci Code claims that women cannot enter the front doors of the Opus Dei headquarters. Instead, they must use a side entrance. In fact Opus Dei claim, men and women use the front entrance of the headquarters building.
Among the more famous ranks of the self flagellating member-include powerful public figures such as Mel Gibson and Toni Blair.
