John Biggs-Davison is an Opus Dei proponent, the Queen Mother presided six months ago at the dedication of the organization's London residence hall. Opus Dei members run a language school in Japan, teach Indians in the Peruvian Andes how to read, and founded Kenya's first racially integrated high school and a secretarial school for African girls.
