The book examines the interest of popes, bishops, and presbyters in holiness and the associationism of the clergy until the Second Vatican Council. During that period, many diocesan priests, driven by ideals such as holiness and service, became involved in various initiatives—mostly associative—in order to better carry out their ministry. In this context, Opus Dei also provided support to the priests. With the approval of the Holy See, from 1950 onward diocesan priests could affiliate with Opus Dei and its Priestly Society of the Holy Cross.
