The only saint that ever inspired me was St. Augustine, he had a very modern outlook on life. He lived with his concubine, drank lots of wine, partied with his friends, broke the occasional law, tested the boundaries of morality, pursued his career in the big city...and read numerous books from the Pagan philosophers. Then and only then, did he convert and become the most righteous defender of the church. He sounds like he grew up in 21st century New York City ...just like me.
There is a difference between spirituality and religion. Perhaps those that can't abide the idea that their unknown behaviors are still held accountable to them are those that shun idea of a loving Father...
You must never treat anyone unmercifully. If you think someone is not worthy of your mercy, you should realize that you don't deserve mercy either. You do not deserve to have been created, or to be a Christian, or to be a son of God, or to have the family you have... (The Forge, 145)
The real obstacles that separate you from Christ —pride, sensuality...— are overcome through prayer and penance. And to pray and to mortify oneself is also to take care of others and to forget oneself. If you live like this you will see how most of the setbacks you meet will disappear. (The Way of the Cross, Tenth Station, 4)
''Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God''.
The friend of the world is an enemy of God..Almighty.
''Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God''.
Whoever is a friend of the world is the enemy of God..Almighty and this guy says to love the world passionately.
I´m really proud to realize that there are so many people strugling and trying every day to be better persons and love God trhough their daily lives!!!
I am amzed that normal and simple people could love God without any strange way of behavior. Keep up the good work! I realize why people who are enemies of God and the Church want you silent and dead. Speak up! We need to hear this message from the rooftops. Thank God for Opus Dei!

Is it true that an opus dei operative stated that,"George W Bush was actually the first Roman Catholic U.S. President?"

Josemaria was a tough guy, imagine losing three of your own sisters at a young age. He nevertheless wnet on to spur many to give themselves to God.

More evidence of the "evil" Opus Dei:
You must never treat anyone unmercifully. If you think someone is not worthy of your mercy, you should realize that you don't deserve mercy either. You do not deserve to have been created, or to be a Christian, or to be a son of God, or to have the family you have... (The Forge, 145)

Loving the world passionately?
James 4:4
''Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God''.
The friend of the world is an enemy of God..Almighty.

the bible's definition of the world was sin not the people of the world.
"For God so loved THE WORLD that he gave his only begotten son and whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16.
We are to love the people of the world but not the actions that the people of the world do.

In the beginning the world was "good" stop being selective and quoting out of contest. It is not a good sign of intellectual honesty.

Opus Dei is a part of Catholic Church, so I think that the stand on that matters is the same as the stand of Church (I am not member of The Work)
