Description: Review of Maria del Carmen Tapia's book "Beyond the Threshold: A Life in Opus Dei." With a link to the first chapter of the book. [New York Times]
(October 12, 1997)
A chronicle of disenchantment with the Catholic organization Opus Dei. By MARGARET O'BRIEN STEINFELS Continuum Publishing Company. $29.95. n 1948, an aristocratic Spanish woman throws over her fiance, defies her parents and gives her life to a religious group called Opus Dei. She sleeps on wooden planks; practices bodily mortification, including flagellation; and as a laywoman takes vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. She serves faithfully for 18 years in many places and roles, among them as the head of Opus Dei's women's group in Venezuela after being a secretary to Opus Dei's founding father, Msgr. Jose Maria Escriva de Balaguer. In 1965, Maria del Carmen Tapia is unexpectedly recalled to Opus Dei's Rome headquarters. She is a prisoner in her room. Charges of ''murmuring against the father,'' pride and sexual indiscretion are made. She denies them. Finally, Escriva, screaming in a rage, ''Whore! Sow!'' casts her out. The stuff of great opera.
