NEW YORK (CNS) -- In its fourth design in the past decade, Opus Dei has launched a new version of its Web site at www.opusdei.org. The Web site, which was visited by more than 3 million people in 2005, offers information about Opus Dei as well as news about the Catholic Church and the pope. It is now available in 22 languages. "'The Da Vinci Code' has definitely increased the number of visitors to our Web site," said Peter Bancroft of the Opus Dei communications office in New York. "In 2005, we had 15 million page hits, from 3 million different visitors. Just on the U.S. version of the site, we have had a million visitors to our page about 'The Da Vinci Code.'" An improved press room section of the site offers contact information for Opus Dei press offices around the world, as well as backgrounders, press releases and audiovisual materials on the organization.
