Objections To The Critics

Supporters say that the controversy surrounding Opus Dei stems from bad faith or other bias on the part of the critics. In some cases, supporters accuse critics of merely misunderstanding Opus Dei, its mission, or its novelty. In other cases, supporters charge that feelings of jealousy or vengefulness have led the critics to intentionally spread lies and "black legends" about Opus Dei, in order to slander and defame the organization.
