[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heights families are considered super-duper old school Catholics that go so far above and beyond to embrace outdated conservative beliefs not commonly held by most practicing Catholics.

It’s a big choice that says something about your family if you opt to send your kid there.

“Outdated” lol.

Begone, troll. [/quote]

Not only outdated, but (more significantly from a moral perspective) Opus Dei types are deeply hypocritical. They condemn mainstream Pope-following Roman Catholics for being cafeteria Catholics, yet they themselves pick and choose among the Vatican I ideas they embrace. [b] Almost all of them use birth control.[/b] My parents grew up in neighborhoods were 12 was normal.  My dad was one of seven, and that's only because his mother died in childbirth giving birth to his youngest twin sisters.  Modern day Opus Dei venerate things like latin mass, but they still use birth control. [b]The average Heights family has 2-4 kids.  In addition to this hypocracy, they also refuse to welcome the stranger, love the neighbor, or feed the hungry. It's a value system that embraces the opposite of everything the Gospels actually say. while centering their festering, self-congratulatory, authoritarian, condemnation on issues the Gospels never ONCE mention, like abortion (which, incidentally was legal under both Roman and Jewish law until the quickening [at ~16 weeks] at the time that Jesus lived, yet Jesus never once thought to mention it; fortunately these modern Opus Dei folks know better than Jesus what the top priorities should be!).

Of course, you have no idea what, if any mode, of family planning any given Opus Dei member might use. Some may be infertile. Some may be abstinent. Some may have been sterilized and later had a religious conversion or have repented. Some may be on hormonal therapy for legitimate reasons that incidentally interferes with fertility. What is it about Opus Dei that makes you feel so guilty that you feel the need to attack its members?[/quote]

This is typical cult-member self-delusion.  It is seriously your belief that current Opus Dei members have greater incidents of infertility and reproductive ailments than prior generations? That's your explanation for why they don't have 10 or 11 kids on average? [/quote]
