The
Fruits of the Opus Dei in SPAIN
(Opus Dei "Flag-Ship" Country)
and
Their Official Justification
Originally published on
February 5, 2006
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to report on the "Grades" earned by the
Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei in its Flag-Ship country -
SPAIN.
INTRODUCTION
We have a God-given grading method:
Either make the tree good and its fruit
good: or make the tree evil, and its
fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known. [Matthew
12:33]
For every tree is known by its fruit. For
men do not gather figs from thorns; nor from a bramble bush do they
gather the grape. [Luke
6:44]
We have God-given assurance of the success of any truly God oriented work:
And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men
it is impossible; but not with God: for all things are possible with
God. [Mark 10:27]
We have a God-given and truly fire tested prove that said assurance
works under the worst of circumstances:
The
Trajectory of Don Jon Bosco. (1)
BACKGROUND
The "Fundación Santa María" prepared a report "Jóvenes
Españoles 2005" (Spanish Youth 2005) directed by Pedro
González, Professor of the Universidad Autónoma de
Madrid.. This report was based on a survey of 4,000
Spaniards ranging in age from 15 and 24 years. (2)
Although we - from personal experience - "lived and witnessed" these
results - that tragedy - now there are concrete numbers to quantify the
disaster it. As if this confirmation were not enough, God granted us
the Grace of having - in the form of a personal letter of the highest
profiled prelate in Spain, Cardinal Rouco Varela - the justification
used by the Church Hierarchy for such abysmal failure: "It is not a
failed Evangelization; it is man's lack of response to said
Evangelization". Never mind the fact that Don John Bosco proved such
lame excuse completely wrong. Denial is the name of their game.
DETAILS
The survey of 4,000 Spaniards ranging in age from 15 and
24 years indicates that...
49 % consider
themselves
Catholics (down from 77
% in 1994)
46 % consider themselves
agnostics, atheist or indifferent to religion (up from 22 % in 1994)
80 % do not trust the Church
at all
79 % think that the Church is
too wealthy
82 % consider the Church too
antiquated in sexual matters
50 % believe that the Church
helps the poor and the marginalized by society
36 % consider that the Church
served them for something (little or much - but at least "for
something")
Regarding Unions
43 % prefer
a "Church Wedding"
22 % prefer a civil marriage
16 % prefer union without any
formalities
67.7 % believe that organized
immigration should be allowed
0 % would mind living next
door to a person with AIDS ( 25 % would
not in 1990)
CONCLUSION
The above grade report is from the country that
gave birth to the cult (3)
which claims that they will save the Church and the World. If it were
not so tragic, it would be simply amusing.
Of course, they could claim that "...no prophet is accepted in his own
country." [Luke
4:24]
Well, their second "beach head", Portugal, is not faring any
better and Latin America is becoming less and less Catholic every day.
Of course, "His Eminence" Rouco Varela would probably claim that it is
Hugo Chavez' fault or, paraphrasing Flip Wilson's Geraldine's favorite
line:, "The devil made them do it."
