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.

Women are the " servant-girls ".

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.
