In New Mexico, several years back, this one guy got drunk, got behind the wheel and ended up hitting a minivan killing a woman and her children. Where the problem lies, or at least it seems to me, is not with Opus Dei, or with the person who started it, but with any system of religion that teaches that works are a path to holiness. I mean Yoga seems to be a very weird thing to do to your body, but millions of people are doing it. So I guess we can't really bash on Opus Dei for doing weird things to their bodies. I’m not sure how this is supposed to work, but he seems to be enjoying himself. He’s doing this to liberate his soul from the reincarnation cycle and to bring peace to the earth. I remember reading a story about this Hindu holy man named Ludkan Baba who rolled on the ground for 1500 miles. Protestants also have this same sort of mentality, trying to do something, either painful or inconvenient in order to be more "holy".Įven non-Christians will do things like this.
Some people even go so far as to crucify themselves at Easter (they’re usually not members of Opus Dei but just normal Catholics). They mortify their body with the use of these implements, or by not taking cream and sugar with their coffee, or sleeping on the floor, or whatever is an inconvenience for the flesh – which supposedly gets them closer to God. If you've ever given something up for Lent, or if you've ever given something up to be "closer" to God, then that's pretty much same idea. The purpose of these implements is to help the user to "mortify" their body. They don't beat themselves bloody, but that's always a personal option. Well, the answer appears to be: yes, sort of.
#OPUS DA VINCI CODE CODE#
If you're a Da Vinci Code reader, I'm sure you're wondering: Do they really use that spiked chain thingy on their legs? Or do they really beat themselves bloody with that rope thingy? It was founded in 1928 by Josemaría Escrivá and basically he was interested in helping Christians understand that their life was about holiness and to spread the gospel. It's actually a pretty interesting subject. For you will be hunted by angels.With all the buzz about the Da Vinci Code, I thought I'd do some research into Opus Dei. In this film, he only speaks in Latin (with English subtitles).Įach breath you take is a sin.
Before dying, he said " soy un fantasma (I am a ghost)". But he realizes that he was duped with false information, and he kills Sister Sandrine Bieil for spying on him in the church.Īt London, when Silas saw the police, he ran out from safe, but later he accidentally shot Bishop Aringarosa, then Silas was Silas follows the information the Priory leaders to the Church of Saint-Sulpice gave. While chasing after Jacques Saunières in the Louvre, Silas demanded him the location of the Holy Grail, after Saunières answered him, Silas fatally shot Saunières and left him for dead. Aringarosa eventually became a bishop and the head of Opus Dei. He met a Spanish bishop named Manuel Aringarosa, who named him Silas, after a person in the Bible who was the companion of Paul of Tarsus, imprisoned at Philippi and freed by an earthquake after singing. However, he was later freed when the earthquake destroyed the prison walls. While fighting two sailors, Simon killed one, and for this, he was imprisoned in the prison in the Pyrenees in Andorra. Simon pummels a girl for making fun of his condition, but police gave him an ultimatum to either leave Marseille or go to prison, so he moved to Toulon where he usually lived in the street. While he grew up in the streets, he began eating garbage and waste. Simon murders his father for killing his mother. During his childhood, in Marseille, Simon was badmouthed by his father, calling him "fantasma (ghost)" due to him being albino.
