Controversies About Opus Dei
Opus Dei is one of the most controversial movements within the Roman Catholic Church. While it is supported by various Popes and conservative Catholic leaders, many opponents allege it applies cult-like practices in recruitment. Others criticizes Opus Dei's conservative theology. They also criticize its influence in church and society. According to some journalists who studied Opus Dei separately, most of the criticisms against Opus Dei are mere myths created by its opponents. Some of these alleged myths about Opus Dei are rooted in the misunderstanding of Catholic faith on the view of God-human relationship (pro-life issues) and Natural Law (the different roles of the two genders); while others are rooted in unsubstantiated rumours.
