What
OPUS DEI is ?
OPUS DEI,
"the Work of God", formed in 1950, is an association of
catholic militant, whose constitution has never been
divulged completely. Alone statuses are known since that it
has been recognized as "prelacy nullius", by the pope John
Paul II in 1982, what confers it a world autonomy under the
alone authority of the Pope.
The
theologian Hans Hurs von Balthasar, deceased in 1988 wrote:
" The OPUS DEI is the strongest affirmation of
fundamentalist authority that exists today in the church
".
Married
Moreno, ancient organizer of the OPUS DEI has written: "
(The OPUS DEI) works with the assistance of God for a
general mobilization of the laics"
" Our goal is to
earn the totality of thrones of university, to leave of
which well from things can be realized.

The goal
of the Work is also to exert theapostolate to the breast of
structures of the State, thus we will be to measure some to
insure to our followers of careers in title, doctorates and
distinctions without having to pass of examinations and
that, will attract a lot world to our apostolate
"
(text extracts from El OPUS DEI, anexo a una historia
appeared at PLANETA in Barcelone in 1976 collection
Textos).

functioning and the extension of the OPUS DEI are made
always by laics intermediaries that alone appear in broad
daylight. Two forms of institutions exist:

communities, foundations, schools, clinics, etc., based by

Objectives.
" We
assist to a decadence of the values and tradition of the
Society. Alone the faith, shared by all, can save the
situation. And to be saved, it is necessary to undertake a
savety return to traditions. And it is necessary to choose,
and rapidly, because there are worse that Nazi:
Freemasons
" told Xavier Dor, initiator of commandos

"We have
the great ambition to sanctify and to christianize peoples
and their institutions, the science, the culture, the
civilization, the art and also social reports; whole has to
be Christian, whole has to become social expression the
faith, so as to be the instrument of the salvation of souls.

is a path to the sanctity ".

Conclusion.
OPUS DEI,
organization ultra-conservative, constituted of " crusaders
" of " the Moral Order ", opposes to the progress of the
humanity, medieval and primitive principles of the period of
religion wars. It reminds the painful beginning of the
Inquisition, tenebrous period, where reigned the
obscurantism and the intolerance. It denies benefits of the
Liberty of thought, expression and belief by triing to
impose the system of the " Unique Thought ".
|
|
OPUS DEI
is at the opposite of masonic liberation ideals of manhood,
and improvement needs and moral, of the humanity, it is
anti-masonic.
Our
vigilance and our action are required in order that the
Liberty of being, thinking and expressing continue to be a
reality.
