Opus Dei, thoughts and experience's welcome.
Is Opus Dei a bonafide arm of the Catholic church, or as some believe a cult not dissimilar to the likes of the "church of Scientology".

Another site I found giving the pluses and minuses of Opus Dei, btw here it is referred to as a sect?

Re: Opus Dei, thoughts and experience's welcome.
sounds like a bunch of head-cases to me [so it probably qualifies as a genuine religion]

lol - some people!! is this serious? They seem very intent on taking members salaries (or large portions thereof). Anyone else get the impression they are only after one thing?

Re: Opus Dei, thoughts and experience's welcome.
some people need to get a REAL life - one of their own... one where they are allowed to make a little choice or two of their own... lol. I've never understood the lure of these so-called cults. It seems like you have to give give give and get nothing in return except someone telling you you've led a bad existence and should give more to make amends!! who's winning there then??
