The Da Vinci Code has been an international sensation. Dan Brown’s Novel has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and caused a firestorm with its outlandish claim that “everything you have ever been told about Christianity is a lie.” It has now been transformed into a Hollywood blockbuster film starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard. While all of Christianity is fair game the Da Vinci Code paints a particularly dark portrait of Opus Dei, one of the more dynamic and polarizing new institutions in the Catholic Church. From a murdering albino monk to a crafty power thirsty bishop Opus Dei in the novel is portrayed as a powerful cult-like group, repressive of women and hell-bent on its own secret agenda.
In this new documentary scheduled to premiere on June 8th (with a June 10th encore presentation) on Salt and Light Television, David Naglieri unveils the real face of Opus Dei. From its humble beginnings in Spain “The Work” has spread to all four corners of the globe and now has 80,000 members. They are doctors, lawyers, corporate CEO’s, taxi-cab drivers, cops, firemen, mothers, fathers, parish priests...but they all have one thing in common: the sanctification of their work and the pursuit of holiness.
So why all the suspicion and mysteriousness that surround the group? Find out what the real Opus Dei is June 8th @ 8pm & Midnight ET (5pm & 9pm PT) and June 10th @ 9pm & 1am ET (6pm & 10pm PT) on Salt and Light Television.
