Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code granted fans access to a thrillingly fictionalized Opus Dei. Our story on the reality of the Roman Catholic group inspired readers' aversion, wonder and defense

Thank you for your report on the controversial Catholic organization Opus Dei [April 24]. Any group that is exclusive, isolated and secretive cannot be truly Christian. So absorbed are the church leaders in promoting and protecting their agenda that they fail to fulfill their role in the truthful representation of Christ.
