[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they're open about it (Opus Dei) on the website.  Why would they hide it? [b] It's no secret, and most of us are not troubled one bit by it.  While not Opus Dei ourselves, we ARE catholic and first and foremost this is a Catholics school.[/b]  More importantly, we're not afraid of anti-catholic bigots trying to spread misguided and pop-culture-fueled rumors about a lay group.  We can think for ourselves, thanks.  [/quote]

OK, maybe you can answer a few questions. What is Opus Dei really about, since you imply that anti-catholic bigots are spreading lies about it? Why are you not Opus Dei, yet you send your kids to an Opus Dei School? There are countless Catholic schools that are not affiliated with Opus Dei.[/quote]

Opus Dei is about personal charity and social work. The davinci code was the anti-catholic movie that "lied" about it. And most people only know the words Opus Dei because of the movie. I am sending my kids to this school because it was the one thay liked the best at open house and shadow day. [/quote]

But I don't like the kinds of "personal charity" and "social work" Opus Dei does. Does that make me anti-Catholic? I haven't read or seen The DaVinci Code.[/quote]

[b]No. I don't see any problem with you not liking any specific organization for whatever personal reasons you have. I am sure people who don't believe in circumcisions don't like that Jewish families have a bris but you don't see them coming on the Private School Forum saying you should never send you child to a Jewish school because of the practice... it just seems like good fun to criticize Catholics. [/b] [/quote]

OK, you're right. Catholics have been far more persecuted than Jews. Sorry.[/quote]

On this forum... Yes.[/quote]
