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?

"How many Opus Dei mtgs have you been to and how many of the Saint's writings have you read?" I haven't read Mein Kampf or the Koran but I still have a negative opinion of Hitler and Muhammad. I have the same feeling about Escriva and Opus Dei.
Someones writings and slick PR campaigns are not indicative of the underlying organization. Infomercials on how to get rich working at home come to mind.
How anybody can favorably compare this "Saint" to St. Francis or St. Benedict is proof that there is "one" born every minute.
