Opus Dei: Good? Bad? Why?
« on: May 24, 2017, 01:05:48 PM »
Why is Opus Dei bad?  

1. Is it bad because it's an organization that seeks to accuмulate money and power?  

2. Is it bad for Catholics or a Catholic organizations in general to accuмulate money and power?  

Please help me with these two questions.

Opus Dei is similar to other church-within-a-church "ecclesial movements" like Neocatechumenal Way, Communion & Liberation, Knights of Columbus, etc.

Look at Opus Dei's founder, too; he's a new-"saint" for a new "church".

Re: #1: No. It's bad because it's Modernist.
Re: #2: Of course not, else founding a church would be a sin.
The Knights Templar, for example, started off orthodox, accuмulated wealth to fund the crusades (basically creating the first international banking system), but unfortunately they later started getting corrupted and being involved in occult rituals (which is what most people today think the Templars were).

Okay.  So Opus Dei is bad for who it is, not for what it is?
