Extremist Opus Dei may have infiltrated top levels of Blair government
Mercury Rising
Catherine Pepinster writes that
Speculation is rife that Ms Kelly, an undoubtedly devout Catholic, is a member of Opus Dei. Opus Dei has made various nods and winks about it and said she has attended events. Ms Kelly refuses to say yes or no. Those envious of her seemingly easy rise to Cabinet membership have made much of the Opus Dei connection, warning that it's worrying that someone like this should be effectively running the nation's schools. Whether or not that is the case, one wonders why she does not confirm whether she is a member or not.Perhaps the UK branch is more polite than others, but she's far too kind to Opus Dei. It's a cult. And an acolyte may now be sitting in on top Cabinet meetings, and running Britain's schools. (PW notes: So much for Sex Ed in the UK's school system!)
