(25,250 posts)Opus Dei is an extremely dangerous sect within the Catholic Church, made up of Catholic fundamentalists who actually embrace fascism and institutionalized sexism, racism, elitism, and even slavery, all under the pretext of "family values."
You can read more about the cult of Opus Dei, which I call Opus Diaboli, the work of the Devil. It's blasphemous organizations like these that gives religion a bad name and actually provokes people to renounce religion because of the crimes committed in the name of God.
There's proof that Opus Dei has been corrupting the Church. This article from 1997, INSIDE STORY: THE VATICAN'S OWN CULT , should shed light on this diabolical cult which all but owns the Catholic Church lock, stock, and barrel. PBS ran a story back in 2001 about the controversy of Opus Dei.
OD even has an Opus Dei Cookbook, replete with bankster-like accounting tricks to swindle investors out of their life savings. Does this sound Christian to you? It sure doesn't to me.
These cultists have the Church over a barrel. http://www.odan.org/media_pope_election.htm
This old DU thread discusses the who's who of Opus Dei in US government. Mr. Frothy is on the list. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1628441
I, as a moderate Catholic, am outraged and mortified over the way OD has infiltrated the church, the government, and even the judiciary. All five conservative justices are members of Opus Dei.
