Sounds just like SSPX.

It is nothing like SSPX. SSPX is not a group lay people join or from which they are expelled. Anyone can attend Society Masses and receive outstanding spiritual direction. While many good people may be involved with Opus Dei, the tree from which it sprung was rotten. Escriva advocated pulling down women's panties and spanking bare bottoms. Most of his fascist oriented writings are locked away unfit for public consumption. He had an out of control temper and was abusive in several ways to himself and others. His so-called miracle, attested to by only Opus Dei physicians, was healing a rash. As a RN, that is a joke. Many rashes go undiagnosed and go away without treatment.

Opus Dei and SSPX are light years apart. But you knew that already, didn't you? You were simply posting a drive-by insult towards the SSPX.

Actually, the chronology is as follows.

One of your apologists called Opus Dei "a cult". I'd call that a "drive by insult" but of course that can't be so. SSPX members don't insult. They tell the truth. Only rebuttals by non-SSPXers can be classed as "insults".

Anyway, the description which he gave of Opus Dei, to support his jibe, sounded remarkably like his own organization. I said so.

Outrage from you and others.

Unsurprising really. The overwheening pride which characterises the writings and proclamations of your organization is easily wounded.
