"But the current reality of Opus Dei is that, in the Work, women still suffer discrimination and inequality"

Review .-

"In" The Way "reflects the" concentration of power, and the absolute primacy of men over women "

In response to Martin Salvador Aguirre (delegate of the Information Office of Opus Dei, in Santiago), would reveal the true essence of the work. Namely first, that the founder and soul of it, our late brother Jose Maria Escriva de Balaguer, wrote a book, The Way, which serves as spiritual guide and ideals of this institution. Here are a few paragraphs:

"50.'re Curious and inquisitive, and Glazing oliscón are you not ashamed to be, even in the defects, as little men? I know man, and desires to know the other trunked in desires and realities of self-knowledge." Accordingly, no doubt, women are Glazing. The misogynist nature of these words is served.

"16. Adocenarte ¿? You ... the lot!? If you were born to leader! Among us no room for lukewarm. Humble and Christ will turn back on with fires of Love"

"365. If you feel compelled to be a leader, your aim will be: with your brothers, the last, with others first." Maintains mixed two positions: elitism and warlordism. Both are undoubtedly synonymous with concentration of power, and absolute primacy of men over women.

Well, the author of this book was raised to the altars of our late brother, as we all are after death, John Paul II.Realmente the Pope was given to read this book. And an even more points, I recommend you read the spiritual book "The Way".

Secondly continue with "The Way" (another reality of Opus Dei):

"28. Marriage is for the class of soldiers and not for the staff of Christ. So while eating is a requirement for each individual breed is a requirement only for the species, unique people can ignore. ¿Craving children ... ? sons, many sons, and a trace of light leave indelible if we sacrifice the selfishness of the flesh. " Therefore, under this final thought, the woman, who is the most wonderful being on earth, it becomes a simple "machine" to produce children. Jesus loved women: Mc. 15, 40 et seq., Lk. 16.18 and Lk. 10-38-42.

"Within the Work, women still face discrimination and inequality. For them it is an inferior"

Third talk of power and money, money and power: both are part of our everyday bad state policy. The Spanish Banco Popular, Banco Atlántico, Bankunión ... have always been linked to the Work (Opus Dei), reaching its influence on the result General Mediterranean Foundation (MGF) and Rumasa. Crossing the FGM a liquidity crisis that would lead to a suspension of payments, was ceded to Tuiza Mateos. In July 1995, a group of shareholders of that corporate group filed a criminal complaint on charges of fraud, misappropriation, concealment for profit ... against JM Ruiz-Mateos, and also against Pablo Bofill Quadras. The latter Opus Dei numerary, who was considered the main culprit.

But the current reality of Opus Dei is that, in the Work, women still suffer discrimination and inequality. For them it is an inferior being, I repeat, be more wonderful being that God created the earth, and thanks to them we are in this valley of tears. Who loves and respects a woman is loving and respecting the world. Do not forget that if we are spending the night in this valley of tears, we owe it to them. Behind a man made a woman is always done.

"She wants to be loved without reason, without reason: not because it is beautiful or good or well-educated or funny or spiritual, but because it is" (Amiel, diary II). Religious beliefs, one is Catholic, should ensure their beliefs about God, and forget about politics ("Render therefore unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God" (Mt.22: 21 , Mark 12:17; Lc.20: 25)), with respect to the plurality of "religious beliefs" because everyone understands that there is one God: "God of all religions." There is a poor for every religion and every religion has its poor.

"The PP is full of members of the Opus Dei, hardliners and pragmatists, who seek money and power"

The PP political party and allegedly was filled with members of the Opus Dei, hardliners and pragmatists, who seek money and power, power and money. One would say even more: a risk, Opus Dei, to become a cult. Time will tell as a witness.

Hans Urs von Balthasar, a Catholic theologian of the twentieth century, published an article concerning the mysterious 'Opus Dei', saying: "May you much money, lots of power, many political office (in the PP party are members of the Work), "(...) In itself, the power is not bad. The whole question, the crucial question is this: why would you want power? What will you do with it? What is the spirit you claim propagated by these means? "Today the Prelature is a very powerful institution, and, of course, with judicial independence within the Catholic Church, appointing its own bishops.

Our late brother, Jose Maria Escriva de Balaguer, spent the last sixteen years of his mortal life in a palace in Rome ... I understand that the 'saints' do not live así.Si look at our sister Teresa of Calcutta, see, no doubt, who died biting the mud of the earth: the difference is abismal.Ella was elevated to the altars as 'blessed'. I repeat: the difference between them is huge ... This is my humble opinion of what is' The Opus Dei to date. "
