Talk:List of prominent members of Opus Dei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Hanssen

Does anyone know if Robert Hanssen is no longer a member? Just cause he's in prison for life, why should that effect his stance on religion?67.118.116.95 06:46, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have added two more relevant members: José Ibáñez Martín (Minister of National Education under Franco) and José María Albareda (close friend of Escrivá and one of the oldest Opus Dei members). --Uncertain 18:01, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Allen in an interview stated that one of his corrections on his book is the status of Hanssen. The fellow did not pursue membership after he was caught. Lafem 09:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Even if so, that doesn't mean he wasn't a member. If you want the page to be about notable members of OD throughout history, he stays-- it's disingenuous to remove only those past members that reflect poorly on the organization. The alternative is to rename the page "prominent current members" and remove all past members. Either option is fine with me. --Alecmconroy 11:51, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

Strongly recommend this page be moved to List of members of Opus Dei or similar. All articles and lists are inherently assumed to only include entries that are "prominent" or "famous", and only information that is "noteworthy" or "significant". Mention "prominent" at the very beginning of the article, as you do currently, but don't mention it in the very title of the article: it's an unnecessary complication, and quite decidedly nonstandard. -Silence 20:20, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I removed the following entry from section Academia because the attached external link does in no way show or prove that Wolfe belongs to Opus Dei. Otherwise it would also "prove" that Ratzinger is of Opus Dei.

• Christopher Wolfe - Professor of Political Science at the Marquette University, Milwaukee. [1]

[edit] Open questions

Does anybody know what's meant by this "reference" on the article page:

Preston 623-3, 663 and 671

Could it be this: The Politics of Revenge by Paul Preston [2], though Amazon says it has only 240 pages? --Túrelio 10:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

There have been suggestions that Justices Antonin Scalia and/or Clarence Thomas are members of Opus Dei. Can anyone confirm? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.168.71.24 (talk • contribs) 01:23, 24 December 2006.
