BBC rejects Opus Dei complaint
The BBC Trust has rejected complaints from Opus Dei that episodes of Waking the Dead portrayed a “negative and false” view of the shady Catholic organisation.
This is the second rejected complaint, the first was to the corporation’s editorial complaints unit. The BBC Trust upheld that decision.
The audience would have been prepared for highly complicated and unrealistic storylines that bore no relation to life
In the original complaint, Opus Dei spokesman Jack Valero said:
Members of Opus Dei are Catholics, they are not going around killing people, having sex with married people and making money.
Worth repeating.
