Welcome![edit]
Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contribution to the John L. Allen, Jr. article. Very nice also to see you used the edit summary. I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself.
A few tips before you start doing a lot of editing:
- You might want to take a look at the welcome page. The Wikipedia tutorial also gives a lot of basic info that will help get you oriented on Wikipedia. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or Wikipedia:Where to ask a question.
- When you post something on a talk/discussion page, you can sign your name by using three tildes (" ~~~ ") for your username and four (" ~~~~ ") for your username and a timestamp.
- Remember to provide an edit summary when editing.
- If you ever find yourself with nothing to do on Wikipedia, have a look at the Community Portal, you'll find that there's always something happening.
If you have any questions at all, or comments, don't hesitate to write to me on my talk page.
Happy editing! - User:Akamad Merry Christmas to all! 03:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Opus Dei[edit]
As you've probably noticed, I went ahead with the Request for Comment-- a first step before trying Mediation. Thanks for the encouragement to do it-- we might could find consensus without a mediator but, hey, that's what they're there for, and I've never been through mediation, so it'll be an educational experience. When we get there, I'll put you down as the other party (along with anyone else who wants in).
While I'm here-- why revert the reference to Escriva's "Vision of Light?"-- am I misunderstanding it and that somehow doesn't do a good job of the description? or was it just getting unintentionally reverted as part of the ductus divina inspiratione change? --Alecmconroy 00:22, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Mediation[edit]
A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Opus Dei, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. --Alecmconroy 09:39, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Additions to the Mediation[edit]
Saw the additions you made to the mediation thing-- they're fine. I get the impression you think I neglected to mention Geo out of a semi-nefarious attempt to cover up the opinion he expressed-- but tis not so. The information submitted in the request only decides whether they take the case or not; once a mediator has been assigned, there will be a whole separate process to present evidence relating to the issues. The Geo experience was so unlike what one would expect from a mediation, I thought it was more confusing than helpful to list it, lest the mediation committee go looking for the evidence of a mediation and not be able to find anything.
In any case, it certainly doesn't hurt to add that info to the request. You also can consider adding to "Additional Issues" if you think there are other issues that need to be discussed or if you disagree with the way I've phrased them. --Alecmconroy 02:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Mediator ready[edit]
A mediator has shown up ready to begin mediation. Do come join us when next you're here. :) --Alecmconroy 14:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Mediation[edit]
Hi, I am willing to be mediate your case, regarding Opus Dei.
The first thing that needs to be decided is what format the mediation should take, and my preference would be to conduct it on Wikipedia (as opposed to e-mail, IRC etc.). If you are planning to take a wiki-break in the near-future or will be unable to partcipate in the mediation could you please let me know. I should point out that I shall be on a wikibreak from the 3rd July until the 7th July. --Wisden17 23:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Mediation Started[edit]
Hi, I've posted the intial questions regarding the Opus Dei case, here. This is where I intend to carry out the mediation. If anybody plans to be away from Wikipedia in the near future then please let me know a.s.a.p.. I look forward to working with you. --Wisden17 23:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Ruiz Mateos[edit]
Jose Maria Ruiz Mateos was during many years a famous supernumerary member until 1986. Didn't you know that?--Heavyrock 17:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Extract:
Der Matesa-Skandal war jedoch nur ein Vorspiel für einen weitaus größeren Skandal, der Spanien 1982/83 erschütterte. Betroffen war davon Jose M. Ruiz-Mateos (seit 1963 Opus Dei-Mitglied), der in 2 Jahrzehnten aus einer Sherry-Firma das größte spanische Konglomerat RUMASA mit einem Milliardenumsatz aufgebaut hatte. http://www.bornpower.de/opus/rumasa.htm
Jose M. Ruiz-Mateos, dessen Rumasa-Konzern in der spanischen Presse als "Octopus Dei" bezeichnet wurde, hatte einen vergleichbaren Konzernaufbau unternommen. Er konnte 1985 verhaftet werden, ist aber 1989 untergetaucht.
Den ausführlichen Bericht findet man in folgendem Text:
11.4. Finanzskandale der Elitetruppe des Vatikan (Opus Dei)
Vatikan-Bezug
Dass der Vatikan über Opus Dei, einem direkt dem Papst unterstellte Organisation, in Finanzskandale verwickelt war, soll hier mit den beiden Finanzskandalen Juan Villar Reyes/Matesa-Skandal und dem Jose M. Ruiz-Mateos /Rumasa-Skandal gezeigt werden.
Juan Villar Reyes hatte mit Hilfe seiner Freunde aus dem Opus Dei einen großen Konzern mit Kreditbetrug, Bestechung und Steuerhinterzug aufgebaut, wobei er viele Millionen DM an Opus-Dei-Organisationen abgezweigt hat. 1975 wurde Villar Reyes angeklagt und in Haft genommen.
Jose M. Ruiz-Mateos, dessen Rumasa-Konzern in der spanischen Presse als "Octopus Dei" bezeichnet wurde, hatte einen vergleichbaren Konzernaufbau unternommen. Er konnte 1985 verhaftet werden, ist aber 1989 untergetaucht.
Den ausführlichen Bericht findet man in folgendem Text:
"Finanzskandale Juan Villar Reyes / MATESA-SKANDAL [...]
Jose M. Ruiz-Mateos /RUMASA-Skandal [...] Opus Dei ließ seinen ehemaligen Liebling Ruiz-Mateos jedoch fallen, um nicht noch tiefer in diese Affäre verwickelt zu werden. Daraufhin packte dieser über seine Kontakte und das Wirken des Opus Dei aus: Ruiz-Mateos gab an, insges. über 60 Millionen DM an den Opus Dei weitergeleitet zu haben, oft über Tarnorganisationen und Stiftungen des Opus Dei im Ausland. Selbst kurz vor seinem Zusammenbruch forderte Opus noch Millionenbeträge von ihm.
Ein weiteres pikantes Detail betrifft Rom. Der Vatikan musste nach der Verwicklung in den Banco Ambrosiano-Zusammenbruch in Italien 240 Mio DM an die Gläubiger zahlen. Nach Ruiz-Mateos Angaben sollen Opus-Organisationen und nahe Geschäftsleute große Teile dieser Summe aufgebracht haben, worauf Opus Dei im Gegenzug vom Vatikan den einmaligen Status einer Personalprälatur bekam, d.h. Opus ist keinem Bischof untergeordnet, sondern nur dem Papst."
