Opus Dei: 'Some good may come from film'

The head of Opus Dei, the conservative Catholic organisation depicted in The Da Vinci Code as a murderous, power-hungry sect, says some good might come out of the work, according to an interview published today.

The film version of Dan Brown’s best-selling novel debuts in France on May 17, which happens to be the 14h anniversary of the day the late Pope John Paul II raised to sainthood, Opus Dei’s founder, Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer.
