That's nice. Escriva and OD's problem is that the smooth public statements designed to create a certain image do not correlate with the internal charter, teachings and practice. There is your context.

How much of St. Josemaria's writings have you read? You dodged the question last time.
The first step of humility is unhesitating obedience, which comes naturally to those who cherish Christ above all. Because of the holy service they have professed, or because of dread of hell and for the glory of everlasting life, they carry out the superior's order as promptly as if the command came from God himself. (St. Benedict, Rule 5:1-4)

My family had an Opus Dei priest stay with us on several occasions. I went to several evenings of recollection with him and Opus Dei members. I was invited to join but it wasn't my cup of tea.

Still, they are a great apostolate. I have read several of the Saints's works. How many Opus Dei mtgs have you been to and how many of the Saint's writings have you read?
