It is a terrible hatchet job. It is a prosecution attorney's presentation but worse because there is no defense rebuttal. From the weasel words used to the soundtrack to the use of innuendoes, their thesis is clear: Opus Dei is evil. No defense attorney. No vetting of witnesses or counter witnesses. No objections. No counter evidence. No impartial judge. You only hear the prosecution.

@@DebsterRiley please refrain a little. Hold off your prejudice. You've been shunned by them but that does not mean you have no christian vocation. Opus Dei take those called to it.

These people have no idea what Catholicism is let alone Opus Dei

@Kade Daivis If they were not used at the time of the great schism in 1054 by Catholic Church, they belong to Byzantine Greek & other Orthodox. If they were taken in more recently by these, they’re appropriated. Schism was huge & far reaching, read history.

There are no God's

His attitude towards his sin and confession tells everything about the spirit inside of him. His opinions are that of an apostate.

What ever helps u sleep at night pal😂😂

@Pat M so you think sin is fake concept, and people in healthy world should not repent for their evil? I wonder how soon earth would become a real hell without repentance. And you think christian teachings about human's inner evil isn't real? People aren't deep down hypocrites and self-seekers to you? For your information, knowing your own imperfectness in christianity does NOT mean any fear, but hope, because of faith God created you the way he loved you, and he knows about your fails and can help you to overcome it, so you have hope to become a better person. And definitely not through church and priests, but through your personal prayers. Church is helpful with it, but not a healer. Point of our religion is way deeper than it could be some political construct, as all of you persume. Unfortunately, you atheists know least about it, when you never experienced what is meant by words like "being in inner unity with God". Of course you shout like children it's a made-up fake, when you neved tasted it. But that doesn't make you true, just uncompetent to make statements :) Oh and please, give me a reason to think Bible is fictional. I'm really curious

Yeah I had family who followed a false Catholic prophetess until the day she died; sad.

tiene muchas cosas en comun con los testigos de jeovah,, busca dinero poder e influnciar politicamente,. , . es muy peligrosa. en efecto

That´s so true. And I wonder why, instead of hurting their bodies (aka their temples as they say), don´t they do something as sacrificing and is also productive like Jesus would do? If you´re gonna wake up at 5 am to take a freezing shower why not go feed the homeless instead so your sacrifice is not a waste? I don´t have a close Opus Dei member anymore but did you ever ask them this? All they do is selfish bullshit.

I'm so sorry for this, but in this case, your family directly violated teachings of Opus Dei. Usually when someone criticises Opus dei, they only think that all members of it act as bad as the few they personally met. (Which is not true, for example for me, Opus dei is God's gift of group of holy catholif friends which do always the best they could. All memebers are different, so all couldn't be good neither bad) But you are wrong even more, you consider some things as an official cult of Opus dei, though they are not! I have no idea where to start with all the wrong things you wrote Your parents have no right to call you to any vocation, you should choose it, from what God is telling you. They have no information about his plan for you, so they cannot force you into anything, this is the first and worst thing about violating of Opus Dei rules i noticed. Opus Dei isn't about forcing into anything, so anyone who force, makes a mistake aganst it. So that's for the start Secondly, it's absolutely wrong to take masochistic type of fasting as an obligation of spiritual life! Real physical hazing are mostly just for the specific chosen mystics, with even things like stigmates or something... There are some few people, God is calling them for, but it's no way of necessity! For most of us, who are not literal mystics of chosen, applies a permanent rule that our body and our health is holy gift from God, and we should take good care of it, and protect it. (Also my Opus Dei friends are supporting me with better healthier lifestyle, for being better person without anxiety from health problems) They also have no right to tell you you're bound of hell, they shoul love you amd care for you as a parents in teaching of Opus Dei. It's not a neccesity to kiss any pictures or anything, or pray all the time Real Opus Dei is about living our faith even outside a church, in everyday life, sanctify our work and fight to become a saint right in the ordinar life where God sent us. It's exactly about the point that we are all allowed to be saint, that it's not just for some mystics or priests or chosens, but for all, and we don't need great hollywood scenes and epic miracles to live side by side with God everyday. And it also delegates to sanctify with love basic family life. It is absolutely great cult for catholic church, and it's blessed by Jesus and his Mother! (And one more thing, in basic life of Opus dei we're learning about the thing "self-mortification" but that doesn't have to do anything with physical self-harm, it's just about, harmless and invisible to everyone except God, withholding of something you hugely want int that mometn, sacrificing something ordinar and little to God. And it's layed only in basic word "no", the chocolate will wait these 10 minutes or something. And once i experienced it, i loved it, when i founf strenght in God to say "no" to my loud appentences, which ruled over me all the time, suddenly i became the leaded and i had the rule over my appentences! I've never felt pure freedom like this, i felt so strong and dignified thanks to it, i couldn't even imagine! I have no idea why someone distort this beautiful thing to something sinful and terrible, though in its keystone is so holy, about breaking chains of appentence and becoming a leader of your decisions!) The thing you persume as a real cult of Opus Dei is wrong, it's out of point, it's missed from it's inner sense. Don't judge it all just according to group of extremists you know, you're missing a lot But once again, i'm so sorry you had to get through this experience, i hope you live happier now!

@@kacp6485 Thank you most kindly for your thoughtful comments to me. My comments about those family members that are Opus Dei are not lies. Whether, or not what they do, have done, might do is or is not Opus Dei doctrine is not important aside from the fact that I had to grow up humiliated and terrorized by what I was forced to believe was all of this Opus Dei bullshit. I am a member of a support group of refugees that are Opus Dei Survivors. I help my fellow members recognize their feelings and put them to rest and just thank God that they escaped from this evil Opus Dei diabolical cult. I know people like you quite well. What else can you say to me or another survivor like me, except to blame us? I know all about Jose Maria Escriva and what a cultist deranged motherfucker he was. Jesus Christ would be most certainly punishing his evil ass for sullying his holy name. Only, the Catholic Church would be so evil as to venerate a syphilis chancre upon the face of Christianity like that evil shit bag Escriva. Catholic vocations or any choice of a job should come from within. That I agree with you. It was decided by my family that I should be a priest. It was not my desire to be a priest. In order to escape from my family I joined the Army and stayed for 22 years retiring as SGM. After retirement I went to professional school. I spend my life helping people that are victims of cults. Sorry, but Opus Dei is one of the most reviled and evil cults both to academicians and to the victims of Opus Dei. My patients view me as helping them escape with their sanity and possibly preventing them from committing suicide as a means of escaping their Opus Dei families. Sadly, some have been ruined by this ungodly evil cult. Make no mistake, I thank God every day that I was fortunate enough to escape Opus Dei. I had a sibling that was not as fortunate and committed suicide to escape the depravity of Opus Dei. I have a relative that escaped Opus Dei but requires intensive psychiatric support and psychotropic medications. You have no choice but to condemn survivors like me in order to be an apologist for this most evil Catholic prelate. As for me? I am not a Catholic anymore and do not embrace Christianity in any form. All I can say to you......is simply continue to tell your lies about what Opus Dei is to validate your feelings. You really don't have any choice because if you displease your Opus Dei cult.....cult leadership and cult leaders can sanction you, put a choice on both of your thighs and "apply the discipline to your ass.......or even go so far as to really fuck you up? So stay in your perverted, cynical, evil Opus Dei world knowing more and more in your heart and mind that you are living the Opus Dei cruel cynical lie. V/r, J. B.

I spent a lot of time in my life with finding complete answers to complicated questions about christianity, maybe i can tell you something you were looking for Just for the start, true catholicism is personal relationship with God, something uncompareable with common opinions of atheists about existence of religion - defence against fear of death, explanation of natural phenomenons, tool to manipulate people to serve your person, having moral compass to people without moral, or comfort for weaks who does not believe in themselves. All of these ideas are cute and funny, but completely out of the point, and it's obvious that people telling these, never experienced that insane feeling of being fulfilled with higher happiness, and having a living liquid touchable relationship with God, more than just some abstract nameless 24/7 source of strength or moral compass... :)

Oh no, you are correct. Every bad thing that can be said about opus dei and cultiness in general is absolutely true. However, a small caucus of cardinals have voted to declare me as the second coming of christ, so I'd like to work with that for a bit. Opus dei was lied to, opus dei lied to and manipulated its members....but when life gives you lemons, you turn those lemons into weapons against the police state. But anyways, I can probably do some Jesusy ass shit if people are down for it. I'm the "rich people eye of a needle" kind of Jesus, not the "make me rich you peasants" kind of Jesus.

The pope doesn’t make people saints people make themselves saints by living holy lives and after death if miracles are performed during their life time or after their death when someone asks them to pray for them then the they are canonized which means the pope recognizes officially that they are in heaven with God he doesn’t make them that way though

ummm Cult.....cult....cult....filled with narcissists who abuse their wives and daughters....pathetic lizards.....Jose marie was a jim jones...and JP 2 should have his sainthood revoked JUST for making him a saint....of course to be a Roman Catholic Saint all you have to do is say you saw the image of Jesus in a cup of coffee and put a bandaid on someone

the REAL Catholic church is the Eastern Orthodox Church WITHOUT 1000 pages of cult like indoctrination....the WORST humans I have ever met were the most devout Roman Catholics

No pope is infallible. No pope is the vicar of Christ. All popes are involved with Jesuits and some with masonry. Rome Catholic church is apostate church that goes against Biblical Christianity & places rituals & tradition as equal or above the Bible.

@@jonathannixon8652 You write: *"Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."* - As for the words "I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." they do not mean that Christ's church was not to die. This is a misinterpretation of Jesus' words. Jesus also died when He was crucified, but that doesn't mean death overcame Him, does it? Of course not, because Christ rose from the dead and thereby conquered death. As it is written: *"Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it"* (Acts 2:24). This is what happened to the Church. The gates of hell are death, and hell is a dwelling place for the dead. So the words *"I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it"* indicate that the Church was to die, go to hell, and then rise again as Christ did. After all, one can only defeat death (escape from the gates of hell that hold the dead) by dying and rising again and in no other way. Just as Christ could not be defeated by the gates of hell and was resurrected on the third day, so the Church will be resurrected, but it will happen before the End of the World. Just the death and resurrection of the Church reveals the great mystery of Christ and the Church, which the Apostle Paul speaks of when he draws an interesting parallel between the relationship between husband and wife and Christ and the Church. *“For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church"* (Ephesians 5:31-32). The true essence of the integrity of Christ and the Church is that Jesus and the Church were to live the same life as husband and wife according to the *"two are one flesh".* And if they crucified Christ, they later crucified His Church. It could not have been expected otherwise. The world could not be cruel to Christ and benevolent to the Church, for the principle of integrity two are one flesh would be violated. But the most important and joyful thing is that the Church is one with Christ both in persecution, suffering, and death and in resurrection. As Jesus was crucified and on the third day risen, so will happen to the Church. *"This is a great mystery..."* is revealed in a true understanding of the principle *"two are one flesh,"* which means that the Church as Christ had to go from Calvary to the Resurrection.

@@jonathannixon8652 You write: *"The church has existed since Pentecost.

What was she like? We know about the Church of Christ only what is known from the books of the New Testament. We do not know of any other Church of Christ outside the New Testament. What was the Church of Christ in the books of the New Testament? Certainly not symbolic and not invisible, but a strictly hierarchical organization consisting of believers baptized with the Holy Spirit, where the Gifts of the Holy Spirit were manifested. As written: *"Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues"* (1 Corinthians 12:27-28). This was the Church of Christ in the first century, but for 2000 years we no longer see such a Church of Christ, there are no Apostles, no prophets, no one has miraculous powers and gifts of healing. But we see gatherings of people headed only by teachers speaking in the name of Christ, but not having the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said: *"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.* *So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following..."* (Mark 16:15-20). I would like to draw your attention to these words: "the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following". that is, miracles reinforce the word of God and they are important for the preaching of the teachings of Jesus. For 2000 years, including our time, we have not seen any believers who have accompanied or are accompanying these signs. But in the books of the New Testament we read that in the first century, believers performed many miracles. As written: *“And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people”* (Acts 6:8). *“Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them”* (Acts 15:12). *"Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city"* (Acts 8:5-8). Where are Stephanes, Barnabas, Pauls in our time? Where is Philip, who brings great joy to the cities? In which church do the blind gain sight? Where are the lame and bedridden jumping for the joy of being healed? Where are demons cast out? Where are the dead raised? Where are the Prophets? Where do they lay hands on the sick and get rid of sickness? Such miracles are not performed in any church, anywhere in the world. Jesus said: *“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”* (John 14:12). But where are these believers now doing the works of Jesus and even more than Jesus himself did? The Church of Christ was destroyed in the first century and for 2000 years false churches appear that claim to be the Church of Christ but do not have the testimony of God, that is, miracles. It was by miracles that God testified about the Church of Christ, just as he testified about Jesus. As written: *“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”* (Acts 2:22). God testified about Jesus, and then about the Church of Christ by miracles. But the Church of Christ was destroyed in the same way as Christ was killed in due time, and therefore the signs and wonders that accompanied the Church ceased, and now She has been buried for 2000 years, but will rise in the last days as Jesus rose again. The prophecy of the death and resurrection of the Church is present in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). "Revelation" also prophesies about the emergence of the Church: *“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”* (Revelation 12:1). The emergence of the Church will just be a great sign of the imminent Coming of Christ.

You want miracles then look into chronicles of the desert, and the monks of mount athos and sinai. True miracles happening in orthodox church

@@edvardzv5660 Regarding your question about why we do not see miracles today, or the gifts of the Spirit, those gifts were for the Apostolic age only. It says in an Old Testament prophecy, "I will show them wonders, according to the days of Egypt". The "days of Egypt" were a 40 year Exodus. The start of the miracles in the New Testament started with the ministry of Christ in 30 AD. There then followed a 40 year Exodus when a righteous remnant of believers were coming out of the Old Covenant age of Israel and into the New Covenant age of the Church. This 40 years was the Apostolic age of miracles and gifts of the Spirit, and they ceased in 70 AD when apostate Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed. The miracles and gifts of the Spirit were for that 1st century apostolic age only, from 30 AD (Christ's ministry) to 70 AD (destruction of temple and the end of the Old Covenant age). The signs and wonders (miracles) were a sign that the Old Covenant age was coming to an end. The miracles were not intended for the New Covenant age. They were only for the Apostolic age in the 1st century.

Yeah, it sucks when they expose catholic fascism for what it is.

steve you’re brainwashed dude. You just repeated a bunch of talking points we’ve all seen a thousand times. Take all your bs away and look at society. Sure we have technology but take that away and look at people. Look at society. People are sick, dude. Society is sick. So you’re bashing religion but to anyone with eyes, religious or not, you can pretty clearly see that, as the world has gotten less religion, society has progressively gotten more and more sick. And if you can’t see that, I don’t even know what to tell you.
