There have been other saints with short tempers: thomas aquinas for one. Not sure on the vanity/dishonesty. But we're all sinners, even saints.

I don't quarrel with your point. Of course there were short-tempered saints. St. Jerome is a classic example. But we're talking here of a man who died recently and was well known, not for his sanctity, but for his megalomania and other moral deficiencies. This was not a saint in any sense of our understanding of the word. What is it exactly we're supposed to admire? Can there be any doubt that it is Opus Dei that is scheduled to be honored and not true sanctity? This is disgraceful.
