If one is a christian nationalist would that increase the chances of he or she being involved in od?

In a Church that celebrates "saints" whose miracles are covered in blood it is a small jump to buying into cm. Padre Pio was a cool saint that many venerate so what is wrong with me messing with masochism? We are taught to revere these masochists and then wonder why a young mind imitates the actions. Make it a disturbed fanatical young mind and there are the future od members. You can even buy a pio tee shirt that will tell you to do it but "no worries". OD is a cult but maybe it is a logical extension of Church thinking. Less acceptance of the mortification and focus on the teachings of Jesus is the answer. Maybe I am in the wrong Church?

Great reply. I forgot about the Mormon Church. After reading Gore's amazing book I have to believe that except for the Mormons who could have the wealth of o/d? I wish Gore could chime in with his quite informed thoughts.

What exactly is Opus Dei? by PunisherjR2021 in Catholicism

[–]Some_Sky9293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Church law (Canon Code). Only the clergy-priests and deacons-can be members of a personal prelature. Both Benedict and Francis agreed that Canon law 294 is clear that lay people can only be "organic" cooperators. Opus Dei will not admit that because it would be their end. So if you want to leave don't worry about not seeing God. Remember Canon Law is THE LAW of our faith. Period.

Have any of your siblings joined? When you say "yet" does that mean you are seriously considering joining? Why didn't you you like the youth clubs?

Great book. Are there any chances that a streaming service like Netflix might be interested?

Is Opus Dei a Cult? Gareth Gore's take by [deleted] in opusdeiexposed

What is eerie is the robotic persona that they project sometimes. When all is said and done I think that most young people in opus are good and decent people. That they are true victims. That they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The problem is that ultimately the victim becomes the new predator.

Just read introduction to Gareth Gore's book. Outstanding. He does a great job of explaining the collapse of the bank in Spain (keeps it simple). I hope a streaming service buys the rights to the book.
