text: I'm afraid you have a deficient understanding of many things (but your high confidence is paradoxically endearing!)....that Vatican II tried to communicate regarding the universal call to holiness and apostolate, the intended life of the lay, evangelism, and clearly Opus Dei.   The largest bulk of members of Opus Dei are married people, with no "Church power" at all.  Most tend to not hang around parishes. 
  
  Pope Francis recently thanked the new prelate of Opus Dei for prelature's apostolate in the world, the ordinary world (not the parish), for its efforts to foster a lively ecumenism in many countries with small minority Christian and Catholic presence (e.g., Vietnam, China, Kazakhstan, now Cuba!..you know John: "the periphery) and for also its projects of social integration.  
  
  In fact the Pope gave special emphasis to Opus Dei to work with a new "periphery": middle class, professional, and intellectual sectors which are distant from God.
