Head Of Opus Dei Reaffirms Prelature Not A Cult

ROME––Bishop Javier Echevarria Rodriguez, head of the Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, countered what he called “unfair and ridiculous attacks” against Opus Dei on Immaculate Heart Radio this morning. “Because of documentaries, the mainstream media, as well as books like The DiVince Code,” he said, “far too many people have been seduced by the idea that we’re Catholic Freemasons; a secret society manipulating the Church from within. But these are all lies.” The Spanish Bishop offered what he called “a better alternative” for finding out the truth of Opus Dei, asking those interested in finding out more about the prelature to remember that “Midnight is the mark…downtown, between 4th and B, where Palm does root beside stone crypts, and below which, inscribed epitaph does mark the point, a hooded man shall greet thee; follow him to the way the furrow and the forge.”
