Opus Dei: The Influential Ultra-Conservative Christian Sect (2002)

- Opus Dei (2002) - An insightful investigation into the controversial Opus Dei sect, founded by a priest of the Franco regime and now extending its influence across the world.

In the shadow of the Pyrenees lies the shrine of Torreciudad, the heart of the Opus Dei movement. Founded in 1928 by Jose María Escriva, the sect now has 85,000 members worldwide. The movement promotes an austere lifestyle and outmoded religious practices, such as self-flagellation. Many accuse it of operating a mind-controlling, secretive cult, using its network of schools and universities to target the young and impressionable. Escriva’s hardline views on issues such as abortion, contraception and homosexuality also helped him to forge close links with the Franco regime; something that many feel should automatically disqualify him from sainthood. But so long as the sizeable donations keep flooding in and the movement’s leaders hold influential positions in the Vatican, Opus Dei will continue to enjoy the Church’s blessing.

ABC Australia - Ref. 1438
"Preaching against abortion and contraceptives" that is catholic doctrine not opus dei.
People from the Opus Dei are Catholic
Nathaniel Cerdena Pope Francis literally compared abortionists to Nazis
Not for anti-catholic media lol.
@Volkfire I know
Fancy meeting you here
Methinks your research is relegated and exclusive to Dan browns novels
love da vinci code :)
When I was looking for a job in 2001, I pray and ask Saint JoseMaria Escriba to help me to pray to the Lord so I could find a job soon and it happened, I have been in my job since then and we are in 2022. Pray for us Saint JoseMaria Escriba.
I've never prayed to any saint to get a job and I am doing great, only grateful to God and my capabilities and hard work
@@A.bormcaxcry about it
Also Josemaria looms larger than JC? Then you show the josemaria statute from the side with a large efigy of JC in the middle that dwarfs Josemaria, lol
The use of Greek Orthodox chant in some of these scenes is an interesting juxtaposition. 🤔
tells you how clueless they are...
Glenn Lanham
Not really. Orthodox are significantly more conservative.
These people have no idea what Catholicism is let alone Opus Dei
@Kade Daivis If they were not used at the time of the great schism in 1054 by Catholic Church, they belong to Byzantine Greek & other Orthodox. If they were taken in more recently by these, they’re appropriated.
Schism was huge & far reaching, read history.
Also Handel. Good Protestant music.
Opus Dei people in the comments are insaaaaane
yes, or maybe naive?
The founder of OD was not a saint; he was the devil in disguise. Glad he is gone.
Amazing how the algos are mysteriously bringing people here, prepare for domestic Gladio to ramp up with the latest pendulum swing.
I was a numerary member of Opus Dei for almost ten years. This is so bad that it doesn't even need refutation. Their main detractor is an unfaithful numerary who slept with prostitutes while having the world believe that he was a faithful celibate member of Opus Dei! Really? A self-admitted hypocrite! That's the best you can do? This kind of saddens me, as I have great appreciation for the Work of God, and attributed all the attacks to the devil's work. But this attack is so unintelligent and self defeating that, if there's any diabolical involvement in it, it must be by some very low level rookie demon; a bad sign that Satan doesn't consider it such a big threat any more...
Xavier Velasco-Suarez yeah I don’t get these people at all.

Well said.
@@estrellasboxisticas6360 how constructive! :-D great arguments, you really convinced us to your opinion!
Not overly fond of Opus Dei but I have to say this doco is hate hate hate with slick presentation skills.
It is a terrible hatchet job.
It is a prosecution attorney's presentation but worse because there is no defense rebuttal.
From the weasel words used to the soundtrack to the use of innuendoes, their thesis is clear: Opus Dei is evil.
No defense attorney. No vetting of witnesses or counter witnesses. No objections. No counter evidence. No impartial judge.
You only hear the prosecution.
Anglosaxon mixture of hispanophobia and the typical protestant anti catholic sentiment
Cry harder.
But it’s the truth. So you “hate” the truth? And The Inquisition was just overly exaggerated?
@@DebsterRiley please refrain a little. Hold off your prejudice. You've been shunned by them but that does not mean you have no christian vocation. Opus Dei take those called to it. Some are wealthy, some poor, some educated, some less so. Don't have hard heart because of your pride. Always be humble.
This video is another means to tear down the beliefs of a group of people who aren’t blowing people up and try to live a pious life. Ugh.
What about the Spanish inquisition and crusades!? innocent people were terrorized and murdered!!
@@browndemon386 the inquisition was enforced by Spanish monarchs not Catholicism and the crusades was a defense against Muslim assaults on Christian pilgrims in the holy land and Christianity was so peaceful it had to be altered to allow them to defend themselves

He was a priest before the Franco regime.
and what the doctors and church folks did during the franco regime is despicable. 70,000 children where sold to mostly rich families,telling the new parents their child had died in childbirth. that s not religion, that s organized crime.

Dumbest shit I've read in long time 🤦🏾♂️
Nothing could be further from the truth. lol this video is ridiculous
Its a place where I found real peace, who taught me to love what I am doing even if its ordinary and how its hard. The people and friends who taught me to develop my personality, to balance the work and spiritual life and to love God.
look I'm glad you found something that keeps your mind off the fact that you have a mortal coil and death is just around the corner... But I was born into Catholicism and went to parochial school, I had many legit questions for the sisters and it was met with kneeling on pencils and saying the penance! I called bullshit after the 4th grade when doing bible study! to me, religion is just an excuse to slaughter other humans who do not believe in the same god or scripture interpretation.. at least that is what history has proven! Best wishes!
@@haurqermereggbertswartz6777 , I believe in God, I couldn’t live without him, feeding my spirit is as important as feeding by body. Said that, I don’t need other people to moderate my relationship with God, my talks with God. As you said, most of the times the name of God has been fraudulently used to rule and oppress the others.
I come to pray to God for my own inner peace in the Church. Don't distract me with Tom, Dick and Harry stories. Your problems, my problems, leave them in the hands of God.
Im so glad for you :-D i have the same experience with opus dei! God sent me those people as a blessing
@@haurqermereggbertswartz6777 great! Give me these questions please! All of them! I spent a lot of time in my life with finding complete answers to complicated questions about christianity, maybe i can tell you something you were looking for
Just for the start, true catholicism is personal relationship with God, something uncompareable with common opinions of atheists about existence of religion - defence against fear of death, explanation of natural phenomenons, tool to manipulate people to serve your person, having moral compass to people without moral, or comfort for weaks who does not believe in themselves. All of these ideas are cute and funny, but completely out of the point, and it's obvious that people telling these, never experienced that insane feeling of being fulfilled with higher happiness, and having a living liquid touchable relationship with God, more than just some abstract nameless 24/7 source of strength or moral compass... :)
I come from an Opus Dei family where many members venerate Jose Maria Escriva. They are supernumeraries that are total fanatic Catholics. They are totally obcessed with "La Obra." They constantly are praying the rosary, kissing likenesses of Jesus, sleeping on the floor. They tell me, not that I am bound for Hell. But already burning! The whip their backs "disciplines." They wear "celices" on their thighs a couple of hours a day that have unbarbed fish fish hooks that are driven into their flesh. My mother was hospitalized twice that I know of with infections. These people are not neurotic. They are borderline or full on psychotics. They give large amounts of money to their HQ in NYC. They are as demented as ISIS, but to my knowledge are not yet terrorists. I attended Catholic Schools from K to 12. I had a scholarship for University for academics. I was sad as a youth, sad for my family. They insisted that I follow a vocation. Upon graduating from HS I joined the military and stayed for 20 years. I finished college in the military and went to a professional school upon retirement. Opus Dei ruined my family and mentally crippled and destroyed many members of it. They are a very sick, sadomasochistic cult. Nobody should ever trust them. They are hurting the Catholic Church. There is nothing good about this evil cult. They are dangerous and an insult to Jesus Christ and the Holy Mother.
Yeah I had family who followed a false Catholic prophetess until the day she died; sad.
tiene muchas cosas en comun con los testigos de jeovah,, busca dinero poder e influnciar politicamente,. , . es muy peligrosa. en efecto
That´s so true. And I wonder why, instead of hurting their bodies (aka their temples as they say), don´t they do something as sacrificing and is also productive like Jesus would do? If you´re gonna wake up at 5 am to take a freezing shower why not go feed the homeless instead so your sacrifice is not a waste? I don´t have a close Opus Dei member anymore but did you ever ask them this? All they do is selfish bullshit.
I'm so sorry for this, but in this case, your family directly violated teachings of Opus Dei. Usually when someone criticises Opus dei, they only think that all members of it act as bad as the few they personally met. (Which is not true, for example for me, Opus dei is God's gift of group of holy catholif friends which do always the best they could. All memebers are different, so all couldn't be good neither bad) But you are wrong even more, you consider some things as an official cult of Opus dei, though they are not! I have no idea where to start with all the wrong things you wrote
Your parents have no right to call you to any vocation, you should choose it, from what God is telling you. They have no information about his plan for you, so they cannot force you into anything, this is the first and worst thing about violating of Opus Dei rules i noticed. Opus Dei isn't about forcing into anything, so anyone who force, makes a mistake aganst it. So that's for the start
Secondly, it's absolutely wrong to take masochistic type of fasting as an obligation of spiritual life! Real physical hazing are mostly just for the specific chosen mystics, with even things like stigmates or something... There are some few people, God is calling them for, but it's no way of necessity! For most of us, who are not literal mystics of chosen, applies a permanent rule that our body and our health is holy gift from God, and we should take good care of it, and protect it. (Also my Opus Dei friends are supporting me with better healthier lifestyle, for being better person without anxiety from health problems)
They also have no right to tell you you're bound of hell, they shoul love you amd care for you as a parents in teaching of Opus Dei. It's not a neccesity to kiss any pictures or anything, or pray all the time
Real Opus Dei is about living our faith even outside a church, in everyday life, sanctify our work and fight to become a saint right in the ordinar life where God sent us. It's exactly about the point that we are all allowed to be saint, that it's not just for some mystics or priests or chosens, but for all, and we don't need great hollywood scenes and epic miracles to live side by side with God everyday. And it also delegates to sanctify with love basic family life. It is absolutely great cult for catholic church, and it's blessed by Jesus and his Mother!
(And one more thing, in basic life of Opus dei we're learning about the thing "self-mortification" but that doesn't have to do anything with physical self-harm, it's just about, harmless and invisible to everyone except God, withholding of something you hugely want int that mometn, sacrificing something ordinar and little to God. And it's layed only in basic word "no", the chocolate will wait these 10 minutes or something. And once i experienced it, i loved it, when i founf strenght in God to say "no" to my loud appentences, which ruled over me all the time, suddenly i became the leaded and i had the rule over my appentences! I've never felt pure freedom like this, i felt so strong and dignified thanks to it, i couldn't even imagine! I have no idea why someone distort this beautiful thing to something sinful and terrible, though in its keystone is so holy, about breaking chains of appentence and becoming a leader of your decisions!)
The thing you persume as a real cult of Opus Dei is wrong, it's out of point, it's missed from it's inner sense. Don't judge it all just according to group of extremists you know, you're missing a lot
But once again, i'm so sorry you had to get through this experience, i hope you live happier now!
@@kacp6485 Thank you most kindly for your thoughtful comments to me. My comments about those family members that are Opus Dei are not lies. Whether, or not what they do, have done, might do is or is not Opus Dei doctrine is not important aside from the fact that I had to grow up humiliated and terrorized by what I was forced to believe was all of this Opus Dei bullshit. I am a member of a support group of refugees that are Opus Dei Survivors. I help my fellow members recognize their feelings and put them to rest and just thank God that they escaped from this evil Opus Dei diabolical cult. I know people like you quite well. What else can you say to me or another survivor like me, except to blame us? I know all about Jose Maria Escriva and what a cultist deranged motherfucker he was. Jesus Christ would be most certainly punishing his evil ass for sullying his holy name. Only, the Catholic Church would be so evil as to venerate a syphilis chancre upon the face of Christianity like that evil shit bag Escriva. Catholic vocations or any choice of a job should come from within. That I agree with you. It was decided by my family that I should be a priest. It was not my desire to be a priest. In order to escape from my family I joined the Army and stayed for 22 years retiring as SGM. After retirement I went to professional school. I spend my life helping people that are victims of cults. Sorry, but Opus Dei is one of the most reviled and evil cults both to academicians and to the victims of Opus Dei. My patients view me as helping them escape with their sanity and possibly preventing them from committing suicide as a means of escaping their Opus Dei families. Sadly, some have been ruined by this ungodly evil cult. Make no mistake, I thank God every day that I was fortunate enough to escape Opus Dei. I had a sibling that was not as fortunate and committed suicide to escape the depravity of Opus Dei. I have a relative that escaped Opus Dei but requires intensive psychiatric support and psychotropic medications. You have no choice but to condemn survivors like me in order to be an apologist for this most evil Catholic prelate. As for me? I am not a Catholic anymore and do not embrace Christianity in any form. All I can say to you......is simply continue to tell your lies about what Opus Dei is to validate your feelings. You really don't have any choice because if you displease your Opus Dei cult.....cult leadership and cult leaders can sanction you, put a choice on both of your thighs and "apply the discipline to your ass.......or even go so far as to really fuck you up? So stay in your perverted, cynical, evil Opus Dei world knowing more and more in your heart and mind that you are living the Opus Dei cruel cynical lie. V/r, J. B. GARCIA-LOERA, SGM, US.Army, retired and DSW.

What’s wrong with self mortification?
I think the idea is that self m*rtification is like self harm, and people who self harm are not mentally stable.
Self m*rtification is also considered by many people (I guess) cultish.
@@passport3763 yes, but self mortification is not limited to whipping yourself or walking on coals. Fasting, abstinence, etc is also self mortification.
@@tylerchua929 not as most people take it to mean, and in linguistics common use of a term is important to its definition. But I guess there might be an anti religion bias, where the prejudice influences common meaning and later definition.
@@passport3763 Fair enough.
I think the selfflagellation is totally weird for me as a Catholic. But I understand there are hundreds of bad people who needs this. The flagellants are people so in need if this, God knows how bad they can be without the mask. Also, I understand the Opus Dei mortification is not that extreme. I don’t know. I don’t mortificare myself because I have dermatitis and my skin itches all the time. There’s a lot of ways to mortificare different from hurting yourself the flesh. For me is a very controversial topic.
Wow, a total disappointment, Journeyman Pictures. I saw some of your earlier documentaries and they seemed interesting enough, but this one is just full of misinformation. Did you actually do any research or did you just pick up the most sensational info you found on the internet?
Why are they playing Handel's Messiah as the pope comes in????
The old dude who talked against Opus Dei had clearly not been Christian in the first place. He had a good time in a hotel with a lady when he had clearly taken the decision of being celibate. Damn. God help us.
And he shows he doesn't know what confession is. "I confessed and the priest did not punish me, hurdur, this must be wrong". No, dumb prot.
we are all sinners you must remember, how many priests bishops , Popes and even the occasional nun have broken there vows.?? does it make them hypocrites...yes , but like the rest of us it also makes them human as well. I must say thow if they wished to expose the Opus dei move as a dangerous order that brainwashes its members which from his discretion they do seem to use such tactics they Mabe could have picked ex members with a less sinful past.
@@andrey_nacosta well at least he went to confession that shows that he was contrite of course how contrite and repentant he actually was in his hart only god can know that . Doesn't the bible say that non of us are in any position to judge one another?
There are no God's
His attitude towards his sin and confession tells everything about the spirit inside of him. His opinions are that of an apostate.
Interesting what brainwashing does🤔
Unfortunatly their secrecy leads to gossip and rumours
Opus Dei is about personal sanctity and apostolate. Using the best in places of worship, priest's vestments is because, God deserves the best not because, the priests are rich.
Yes, it's supposed to be All the Best for God worship and one is then to use all the best for THE SELF or the God Within. Somehow it has turned into the SELF AS A LOWLY NO GOOD SINNER who deserves nothing.!!!
John Rogers funny that the richest preachers on planet earth are all Protestants. 😂🤦🏻♂️ What does the Bible say? Don’t judge the splinter when you have a beam in your eye?
You're the devil.
What ever helps u sleep at night pal😂😂
@Pat M so you think sin is fake concept, and people in healthy world should not repent for their evil? I wonder how soon earth would become a real hell without repentance. And you think christian teachings about human's inner evil isn't real? People aren't deep down hypocrites and self-seekers to you?
For your information, knowing your own imperfectness in christianity does NOT mean any fear, but hope, because of faith God created you the way he loved you, and he knows about your fails and can help you to overcome it, so you have hope to become a better person. And definitely not through church and priests, but through your personal prayers. Church is helpful with it, but not a healer. Point of our religion is way deeper than it could be some political construct, as all of you persume. Unfortunately, you atheists know least about it, when you never experienced what is meant by words like "being in inner unity with God". Of course you shout like children it's a made-up fake, when you neved tasted it. But that doesn't make you true, just uncompetent to make statements :)
Oh and please, give me a reason to think Bible is fictional. I'm really curious

A perfectly delivered falsehood. Thank you for trying though
Opus Dei is not even close to extreme, Just wait for you guys to hear about Rad Trads or Sedevecantists
They ARE a trip.
God is interesting faith is appealing
however having attended a church where two of the priest's were abuser's and the wall of see no evil hear no evil and speak no truth by the adults involved with that church no longer being part of this religion is the healthier option for some of us, I suspect that regardless how many new saints and 'secret' societies within the church both God and earth deserve something more honest and less damaging than this church and as all things do in time cease to exist in a particular form there is hope that one day many years ahead something better will carry the Christ story forward whilst leaving the abuse, violence towards children and minorities far behind, Rome was a fine home for Caligula however Christ deserves a cleaner home.
You said it very well! Just, it's terrible when some priest's do these things, but those are doing it against their own faith. If they do, it's not representation of church, but their personal sins. Which are literally forbidden in word we take as Holy :)
Evil inhumane scum there are not sins but crimes against innocence and cover up for these animals equally evil and aborrant what did christ himself say about any one harms a child in anyway be better a milestone round his neck and cast into sea preach christ word but do the Satan's work 0⃣ tolerance for these beasts god bless the sacred heart of jesus and holy mother protect the innocents from these predators and shameless devil's amen

Absolutely terrifying. Christo fascism 😢
JESUS CRISTH REJECTS THIS CULTISTS!
I am so glad I renounced my Catholic faith. I was raised Catholic and have family in Opus Dei. These people just want to have power over you to serve their own interests. And honestly you don't need to be part of any religion to worship God and be spiritual. Stop giving these corrupt people power.
I left catholism too but went further. I renounced all religions. God is only an invention to gain political power, wealth and unending control over fearful masses.
You became protestant?
Oh no, you are correct. Every bad thing that can be said about opus dei and cultiness in general is absolutely true. However, a small caucus of cardinals have voted to declare me as the second coming of christ, so I'd like to work with that for a bit. Opus dei was lied to, opus dei lied to and manipulated its members....but when life gives you lemons, you turn those lemons into weapons against the police state.
But anyways, I can probably do some Jesusy ass shit if people are down for it. I'm the "rich people eye of a needle" kind of Jesus, not the "make me rich you peasants" kind of Jesus. I mean I'm not Jesus...but it's a hat I can wear
I care less about being Jesus, and a whole lot more about ending the police stste, ending hunger, and solving climate change, which kinda seem like the things that Jesus cared about. If the shoe fits?
But I am not the messiah. I am a manufactured messiah......it's just not my fault the manufacturers did a good job.
It’s clear that you didn’t understand the spirit of Opus Dei, which isn’t a bad thing, but it’s dangerous to accuse people of things that you know aren’t true

followers of Jesus changed a lot since his first ministry - from rag clad, hungry ascetics of gospel to gold-clad, well-fed priests and rich men. lol
Yes.!! I'd like for Yeshua to appear in his body right there in front of a pope mass.! They would have him taken away and arrested. How dare he question their gold and riches.
That’s the lie everyone has missed. The church the apostles started , is not the same that Constantine started 300 + years later.
You think Jesus wore rags?
Have you ever been to a monastery? The fact is the only way for Christ to be king is for his people to have power. Also there are still Catholics that do live in poverty and like I said religious sisters and brothers who take vows of poverty
@@johnrogers9481 fortunately not in these days, but in middle age definitely. Sadly, many for example protestants kept in middleage, in looking at catholics. If you're talking about today, we have an amazing pope, which really serves God as well as he can. Change my mind :)

Internal voice. We all have/use it, and it's a natural way to navigate reality. We all speak to ourself to work things out. Some adults, don't understand that their internal voice is their own, and attribute it to others. This is a very dangerous way to view reality. It allows one to offset blame to another, which can easily lead to the worst atrocities. Please understand, that when some people "talk to god" or "jesus" or think it's a "rule written on their heart"... it's a fallacy, and the perfect excuse to act out in reality without recourse.
It saddens me to see so many in this world fall for this con. The con runs a deep rabbit hole when "secret" is involved with a society. All sorts of internal voice friends can be created, and made to act out without the victims knowledge. Please thnk about this topic, and beware. Gr8! Peace ☮💜Love
Glad 2 leave the Church that only taught us 2 say ‘Yes Sir/Madam!’ without noticing any further risks….
This is definitely not true. More of half truths. Opus Dei has helped me grow spiritually as a lay Catholic. Parish priests are sometimes very busy and have no time for formation for Catholics who want to learn more about their faith.
This is why the personal prelature helps. I highly recommend it. And if anyone feels mortification is equivalent to self flagellation, they need to understand that it’s just little things like skipping a meal, chocolate or forcing yourself to finish that unpleasant job.
In my opinion likening Opus Dei to ISIS is disingenuous and outrageous. No Opus Dei member would become a suicide bomber.
Not yet
my experience is similar! :-D
and MAN! THANK YOU FOR SOMEONE FINALLY UNDERSTANDING MORTIFICATION!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
There are many was for the laity to become saints: Legion of Mary, Secular Franciscan's and many other Third Order's
Christian Taliban: Catholic edition.
Really ? Pray tell ...who did they blow up ? Tell us more O Oracle of wisdom.
Not the most sympathetic portrayal of Opus Dei founder, san Josemaria Escriva. I doubt the glib Australian presenter, or any of his researchers, have actually read any of his writing. In fact I would suggest that this is a political attack based on local politics in Australia, and has nothing to do with the heart of san Josemaria Escriva's teachings.
This is some major weirdo bizz
How ancient is this?
They’re relatively new.
Are all journalists hobbyists and/or part time investigators?...
Opus Die nor JP2 are of Christ
10:56 🩸
This living Saint was loved and guided by the holy spirit like his equally holy successor Pope Francis. The opus dei will defend the infallible teachings of both Catholic saints.
ummm Cult.....cult....cult....filled with narcissists who abuse their wives and daughters....pathetic lizards.....Jose marie was a jim jones...and JP 2 should have his sainthood revoked JUST for making him a saint....of course to be a Roman Catholic Saint all you have to do is say you saw the image of Jesus in a cup of coffee and put a bandaid on someone
the REAL Catholic church is the Eastern Orthodox Church WITHOUT 1000 pages of cult like indoctrination....the WORST humans I have ever met were the most devout Roman Catholics
No pope is infallible. No pope is the vicar of Christ. All popes are involved with Jesuits and some with masonry. Rome Catholic church is apostate church that goes against Biblical Christianity & places rituals & tradition as equal or above the Bible.
And now they’re supporting Trump!
Hahaha, whip yourselves piggies ;D Whip yourselves!!
What About Our Rest Saints Still To Be Beatified,

As long as ordinary people face trial and tribulations are there all kinds of cult and religions will emerge.
loved jean paul two! he was the best christian pope the catholic church had, and he didn t believe in fascism! sanctity through work, sounds very similar to freedom through work, or work will set you free.
He has part in killing millions people.
@@eevve9894 he was against what you call "killing", only what he did was speaking against fornication. What became from it isn't his guilt. And you know it.
@@eevve9894 he was Pope WHILE thousands of priests were raping boys around the world.....and anyone who says he didnt know is either an idiot or a liar

John Paul the second you say.
I was once briefly involved with Opus Dei but I was allowed to only go so far with them because I wasn’t a professional career person. I wasn’t wealthy, nor did I have a family to raise. They have Opus Dei Schools to send your children. So I literally had nothing to offer them.
This was relevant 17 yrs ago?
Preaching against Abortion and contraception are catholic doctrine but personally something does not sit right with me about this Order , its a feeling that leaves a very heavy feeling in my chest and stomach. I tried to watch this with a open mind but all the while there is just something that does not sit well with me about Opus Dei Order but I cant quite place my finger on it.
Its against True Biblical Christianity. They are the ones who killed the true Christians & Jewish people women men boys girls children even babies & the elderly. Thank God for the reformation that brought back biblical Christianity and made it possible for all people to read Gods word.
wtf this is such a load of bull
" Cult", I already know which way this " documentry" is going to go
Self flagellating is a pagan practice. How it came into Christianity goes back to Constantine and his religion of Mithraism, before he said he was Christian.
Fergus Kabiswa the reality is, most people look to God far more when they’re in pain. Also, your historical analysis is just straight up stupid. The early church was born out of blood, blood, and more blood. The Bible says the blood of martyrs was like watering a plant or something like that. Things like that are said repeatedly in the letters in the New Testament. So I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with Constantine. Also, I went to a Catholic school for 12 years. No one ever taught me a thing about Mithras...
bhec7715 Dissist from using certain adjectives. Read your Bible right then you’ll understand the place of persecution as Christ intended it to be. You’re equating what the prophets of Baal did to themselves invoking Baal, to how the early church was persecuted to grow the church. Revelation 12 will explain it all.
Then, don’t confuse the religion Constantine instituted; with the Church the apostles started. Revelation 13, will explain that to you.
So which church do you subscribe to. The Apostolic church or mother church?

I have heard it described as the SS of the Catholic Church .
Oh stop, the Nazis were humanists. Also last time I checked they dont go around executing others
If there is an SS analogy to a religion... check the Muslims out.
@@georgemappin9130 There actually were Muslim SS Divisions lol
@patrick!sellers you are right, and might I add Hamas, spurning from the Muslim Brotherhood, are direct descendants of the Nazi tradition using their single hand salute to this day.
A saint is a christian-one who loves and obeys Jesus Christ and only Jesus Christ grants sainthood not some heretical pedophile preist whos every religious practice is an abomination to God and is conedemned in the bible they say their church gets their religion from. The institution of the Roman Catholic church does not produce saints nor does it have the power to make someone become a saint, a saint isnt a necklace or someone you pray to they are simply the dead and living righteous souls covered by the blood of Christ that will inherit the kingdom of God. Dead people cant hear you only dempons and angels thats why we are commanded to pray to the Father through Christ inspired by the HolySpirit not to dead people. Saint means holy, set apart from the world for the use of God, all real christians that know love and obey Christ are saints.
The pope doesn’t make people saints people make themselves saints by living holy lives and after death if miracles are performed during their life time or after their death when someone asks them to pray for them then the they are canonized which means the pope recognizes officially that they are in heaven with God he doesn’t make them that way though
This seems spoonfed to the makers by the cult. It is a cult, and it has obvious money/power. Trying to look up facts in Wikipedia. it seems the editors all have to argue with church pro editors.. it's sad. I trust this doc as far as I can throw it. Very poor. Gr8! Peace ☮💜Love
“Amassing power & wealth”. Yup. That sounds like most religions 🤷♀️ How do people not see that religion is just a way of drawing people together to create power & influence for a few, using our fear of the unknown. It is played out over & over & over throughout history.
Which part of the documentary was not correct? Point it out. Instead of just writing this demon and that demon. He did amass wealth and the Opus Dei were whisperers to the Pope. They are many books written. You should read all by admirers and detractors to get a balanced account.
Catholic sect, not at all a Christian sect
Sound like based Christians to me.

Opening scene uses Handel for background music, which is pretty pretty, can already tell this is just another attack piece from the ABC.. how good is it that we have a Catholic premier now though 🙌
I don’t give a rats backside which fictional skygod the new Premier believes or doesn’t believe in. The issue with Opus Dei is the members commit to serve the prelature above ALL else; hardly compatible with the role of an public community leader of all now is it. Escriva est canis
When you fast do not be like the hypocrites. So what does this public flaggellation equate too? I practiced acestisms for quite some time as a Roman Catholic but not to these extremes. However this has taken a connotation that was never meant. Render your hearts! Not your garments! A meek and contrite heart O God you will not spurn. Thanks to the victory of our Lord who descended not only to earth but to the depths of hades for our sake. Imagine Spain with an Orthodox Church? What a sight that would be. There's much to be said for the Iconography and Theology of Orthodoxy. Oh and Jesus is the Immaculate Conception. If Mary was why would we need a savior? Her whole lineage would've had to be sinless. Also Infallibility came after the incorrect dogma of the I.Conception. so?
