Thought Reform

email

I just wanted to thank you for putting this information out on the web.  I
was naive when I left the United States for Pamplona, Spain to participate
in a study abroad program sponsored by my college here in the states.  I
didn't fall victim to Opus Dei, but several attempts were made to recruit me
and other exchange students.  As I stated, I was naive; I didn't even know
what Opus Dei was before studying at the Universidad de Navarra (an Opus Dei
affiliated university).  Luckily my roommate, who is a Catholic Spaniard,
explained to me what Opus Dei was and informed me of their recruitment
methods.  Upon returning home after my 8 month stay in Spain, the head of
the language department asked me how he could better prepare students for
studying abroad in Spain.  Before I mentioned culture shock or anything
else, I told him to inform the students about Opus Dei.  I couldn't stress
the importance of that enough.
