What is dangerous in the structure of Opus Dei?
The inherent danger lies in the undemocratic structure of the Opus which totally reflects the Fascistic ideology in Escriva’s teachings. People have to follow the orders given to them by their leaders without doubting them. Leaders have total control over the people subordinated to them through the weekly talk where they learn everything they need to manipulate followers. So, if the topmost leader decides to do something it will happen. They justify this structure with the excuse that it is all in God’s name. But the people in the Opus are all humans and there is always a chance that they might make mistakes. In the dictatorship-like structure of the Opus a mistake or an evil decision by just one person on top of the organisation can have fatal consequences. Their response is something like: “Oh well we have built a dictatorship, but do not be worried: we have such a nice dictator on top who is such a kind person with a good heart …” Besides: Escriva was not a person with a very go
