Thank you so much, Michael, for your inspiring efforts. I'm just concerned a little because their website says the following "In 1991, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, Archbishop of Chicago, entrusted the parish of St. Mary of the Angels to priests of Opus Dei."

It seems to me that Cardinal Bernardin was not a vocal defender of ALL church teaching, and proposed the "seamless garment" theory of social justice. Does this concern you at all? Or was this just an instance where he got something right?

A fantastic message. Thanks. I know Opus Dei in Poland and I thank God they exist and they try to help others to come closer to Him.

@calexander007 >> Just to be clear, women ARE equal to men in value, worth, and dignity.

But that is not the same as BEING equal, or seeing them as equal without qualification. He does not have see woman as equal in all ways - just in the ways that are related to their ontological status as human persons.

How exactly do we get involved in Opus Dei? I made an inquiry to them several years ago and was told that since there was no Opus Dei group in my city I was basically out of luck -- that someone from Opus Dei would have to start a community here first. Has anyone heard of anything changing from that?

[calexander007]

Hopefully, livetsom DID mean "not identical." But he said "not equal," and that came out VERY BADLY. The choice of words matters. Just to be clear, women ARE equal to men in value, worth, and dignity. We have different vocations that are equally important.

So true ... each of us needs to step up and do what they can to learn about our faith to advance the kingdom of heaven!!

EVERY Catholic can start doing this NOW!! There are so many wonderful resources from faithful catholic groups (such as St.Michael's Media).

You don't have to wait and figure out how to join Opus Dei ... just start now. Gather some of your catholic friends and start learning together ... study the bible, pray, learn the faith.

@kidart89 He obviously is using equal to mean "identical". Women and men are not equal - they are different. Are they both essential to society? Yes - but men and women are not equal. No gender is better than the other, but they are certainly not equal.

Red is not equal to green - but both are perfectly valid colors, and both are just as important.

@livetsom Woah! What do you mean you don't see women as equal??
