In reply to the discussion: William Barr Is A Member Of Opus Dei [View all]Perseus
(4,341 posts)32. I don't think "ends justifies the means" is exclusive of Obus Dei and that kind of organizations
I strongly believe that mentality is more associated with criminal minds. Criminals have a goal and what happens between the moment they make the decision to pursue that goal and the moment they reach it, anything that happens in between is meaningless to them, they have no concept of consequences (worst attribute the buffoon has), and whether people died or suffered in the process of reaching that goal is irrelevant to them.
These people posses a criminal mind, whether they belong to Opus Dei, Evangelical sect, any other religion, or no religion, it is just a criminal mind that works very different than normal minds, that is why it is so hard for normal people to understand why these people do what they do.
