Is Opus Dei a bonafide arm of the Catholic church, or as some believe a cult not dissimilar to the likes of the "church of Scientology".

Another site I found giving the pluses and minuses of Opus Dei, btw here it is referred to as a sect?

sounds like a bunch of head-cases to me [so it probably qualifies as a genuine religion]

lol - some people!! is this serious? They seem very intent on taking members salaries (or large portions thereof). Anyone else get the impression they are only after one thing?

some people need to get a REAL life - one of their own... one where they are allowed to make a little choice or two of their own... lol. I've never understood the lure of these so-called cults. It seems like you have to give give give and get nothing in return except someone telling you you've led a bad existence and should give more to make amends!! who's winning there then??
