[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course The Heights should stay as it is. But be clear, the Vatican recently implemented rules to assure that No Opus Dei  can become bishops. Opus Dei, to Catholics, is a conservative offshoot of Catholicism. And the Diocese does not include The Heights. Frankly Opus Dei is a chilling offshoot and I wish they wouldn’t call themselves Catholic.[/quote]

This is a misrepresentation of what the Vatican ordered. According to Catholic News Agency, the prelate (head) of Opus Dei may no longer be a bishop. That doesn't mean that bishops may not be affiliated with Opus Dei or participate in its formation, retreats, recollections, etc. There are bishops and diocesan priests whose ministries are not centered around Opus Dei but who are part of Opus Dei. Does that make sense?

I am not personally part of Opus Dei, but I find its focus on growing in holiness through our everyday lives to be valuable. Most people who attend Opus Dei activities aren't officially "members" of Opus Dei.

FWIW we have a son at The Heights and love it. It's not perfect, but no place is perfect.

Here's a link to the CNA article I mentioned above: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252270/opus-dei-s-prelate-asks-for-prayers-for-reform-ordered-by-pope-francis [/quote]
