Opus Dei is an institution with a thousand faces. Like many others. What about political parties, NGO's, churches, etc ...?

I mean that as an organization is likely to cause positive and negative experiences. I've even found that my state by region (Spain), the organization has members with more freedom of opinion in political, sexual, cultural and apostolate and proselytizing than in others (I may be wrong, but I thought it was well Catalan people, against whom I knew from Valencia or Murcia).

In this sense also seems very high level of the University of Navarra, although I have only had direct contact with the clinic, whose professional treatment seems little overcome.

However, despite all that, the individual experiences of its former members and account for a stifling of internal organizational structures, with implications for freedom of thought and emotion, one-dimensional personalities to behave like robots critical stimuli with pre-installed software, where he sometimes hides the lack of charity affection and respect for the individual (using here the terms in its own right).

However, these experiences can easily be demolished by official responses of "resentment", "personal immaturity," "infidelity," or even "spirit inquistorial or lack of love for freedom," answers that are offered as the interlocutor to that address.

And is that since it is not pedophilia or sexual abuse, are no longer in this society as pornographic by the media almost no attention. Before, when society was concerned with politics, interested only in how far the Opus Dei could interfere in power. Now even that, the immission comprobarseque its not like a political party or pressure group that gives special instructions, general training is enough of its members.

Therefore, it is experiences that are generally similar to any breach of personal (marriage, family, work), trauma to society as a common and difficult to understand planteables judicially, which are perpetuating without rectifying these structures - sectarian? I know it is not a cult in its own right, but is there a sociologist who can tell me another word? - which are rooted in the Work as founding spirit.

(Continue, God willing)
