Mr. Book just finished Opus: The Cult Of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, And Right-Wing Conspiracy Inside The Catholic Church, by Gereth Gore.

This mediocre book covers Opus Dei: an extreme right-wing group of Catholics. The book establishes that there were members who were involved in the sexual abuse of children and its coverup (although that was a very tiny percentage of the content of the book), the group treated their female workers terribly, including using them as a slave labor, and establishes they have right-wing extremists in the organization. But, the book doesn’t show any connection between them and anything other than the inherent evilness of both the Catholic Church and Republican politics.

I give this book a C and wonder if that was too generous.

Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, a C equates to 2 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).

This review has been posted at my blog, Mr. Book’s Book Reviews, and Goodreads.
