Opus Books - opuslibros.org has always been a contentious issue since the beginning of this website . It is a subject on which I do not usually talk, but will make an exception ;-)
First, I leave a link with my opinion on opuslibros , which in essence can be summarized in that feel great admiración por casi todos ellos. Y, en líneas generales, estoy de acuerdo con lo que allí dicen . Aquí podéis leer mi opinión personal sobre Opus Libros completa .
Y en segundo lugar, copio a continuación un mensaje de un amigo, Alfonso Aguiló , donde escribe su opinión -también personal- sobre opuslibros.org . Es una buena parrafada, pero creo que puede dar ideas. Aquí copio su mensaje y espero vuestros comentaros:
En la página web de Opuslibros se congregan detractores del Opus Dei . Es un portal que tiene como denominador común, un conjunto de personas que, por distintas razones, feel hurt.
Although initially took a path of moderate and constructive criticism, has been radicalized, and for years the testimonies, almost entirely, are headed by resentment and animosity . is rare to see a positive testimony , and when ever they post any, is immediately a series of attacks that message, with a surprising and irritability with the usual presumption that anything that comes to them than negative can only come from a person of Opus Dei, which is presumed to write falsely or, probably, for a "custom" of its directors. Even in cases where evidence or comments that negative items were not clearly outweigh the positives, there has been a similar phenomenon, which has led to a curious way in which "political correctness" characteristic of this virtual space makes no one dares to say a positive note without accruing before and after a bunch of negative ratings.
is obvious that personal suffering manifest these personal testimonies are always worthy of respect and attention , and that may have occurred and subjectively. It is also clear that all of them, like anyone else, are free to express as see fit. And it is also clear that almost messianic commitment of some to denigrate the Opus Dei is an option that can be taken freely. But that does not mean that these texts, the vast majority, are plagued by general insults, lawsuits, negative assumptions about the intentions of the people, misrepresentations, errors, and, not infrequently, they can hardly slip lies in good faith.
Throughout the lives of tens of thousands of people in Opus Dei, in many different countries, and over the decades, es seguro que ha habido tiempo y ocasión de actuaciones desafortunadas , y que algunas de ellas pueden incluso ser deplorables, también por parte de personas constituidas en autoridad en la Obra, que cometen errores como todo el mundo. Todas las personas procuramos advertir nuestros fallos y enmendarnos, y en ese sentido cualquier crítica constructiva es siempre de agradecer, pues, como decía San Agustín, los ataques pueden ser con frecuencia más útiles que los elogios, ya que «muchas veces los amigos nos pervierten al adularnos y, en cambio, los enemigos nos corrigen al insultarnos.»
Por eso, no cabe sino agradecer el esfuerzo que algunos de ellos made to ensure that all such testimony help improve people of Opus Dei . In this regard, Newman stated that "should not be confused malicious criticism or phrases that are hurtful to the real arguments." When reading texts Opuslibros is not difficult to distinguish from each other, but sad to say that the constructive is a minority and that many of those who write here openly acknowledge that they do not want to say anything positive, although there is much between what we have lived or that its purpose is to emphasize the worst in order to seek more effective in their criticism, perhaps forgetting that supposedly end good does not justify the lack of truth in the media they use.
The reality is that the negative effect that produced those texts in the faithful of Opus Dei, or those familiar with the Work has been little , once they recognize the lack of objectivity in carrying so much resentment, and many cases has even positive. Perhaps that is why Newman said that "sometimes our enemy becomes friend is sometimes stripped of virulence evil that made him so scary, sometimes it destroys itself, or wanting to do evil does good, then disappears. In general, the Church has no more than continue their own duties, with peace and confianza, permanecer tranquila y confiar en la salvación de Dios.»
Otra cuestión curiosa que se puede observar es cómo la mayoría de los escritos de Opuslibros caen de modo sorprendente en los mismos defectos que denuncian . Por ejemplo, acusan al Opus Dei de que en su web institucional y en sus publicaciones oficiales todo es monocolor y sin lugar para disentir, cuando eso es precisamente lo que les sucede a ellos, al tiempo que presumen de interactividad, cosa que no hace la Obra en ese tipo de medios . También se rasgan las vestiduras denunciando que en la Obra se dan constantemente supuestas faltas de respeto a la intimidad o al secreto natural en las conversaciones personal, and then they subtract documents and illegally posted on websites , publicly discredit people names, insult and disqualify using personal information obtained by virtue of his previous responsibilities , etc. Sometimes they complain that there is a great authoritarianism and they fall in a dogmatic tone that does not support replication or qualification. speak of terrible evils that are done every day in the work, and they boast of having spent decades there, and one with more responsibilities, but do not seem to have participated or have no guilt in all these alleged atrocities .
When meeting a group of people whose main link is, in most cases, hatred towards something , it is difficult for a short time they have not exhausted the topics of conversation more or less objective and that is has become a competition "to see who said something more clever or more powerful or more Treva" toward the object of their resentment. It's similar to some discussions that some divorced spend their lives trying to convince everyone that his "ex" is an undesirable person that has made them the first day and for years all sorts Nosecuantos froward, not realizing that their constant complaints do nothing but show little ability to know people, or impressionable and fickle they are, or how little truth in all these justifications that no one asked. When these comments were made in a large group, each talking about their "ex" with large doses of resentment, wanting to add each one more reason to assert always all the same thing, offending a lot for any contribution that does not corroborate their dogmatism, the result is a spiral of pleasure in hearing what you want to hear, and search somewhat anxious to justification his own biography, with a vehemence that given enough thought.
In that sense, this site appears to meet that goal, there will always be people that instead of facing the future withdrawal of feeding the resentment and find new grounds for ill will, or to seek the comfort of a certain solidarity victimization. Perhaps more than one is due to the psychology that tends to recall the past highlighting the negative and ignoring the positive side, applying a filter dye and victims who mess it all up finish in practice largely rewriting their own history in a manner that is false.
As so furious attacks any dissenting opinion and is considered a terrible cruelty simply because we doubt any of the evils that they have received, his speech just drifting in a chorus of mutual admiration in which everyone already knows what to say and what like to listen. not allowed to talk to people who have been in the work and are grateful , when anyone with a bit of time in the work known to be the most . not intervene in a serene stop people from Opus Dei, and instead of addressing their reasons for saying that the disqualified are the voice of his master , to the point that they all know it is useless to think homework in that environment . Full capacity Opening is granted from time to time the possibility that the work is perhaps a few who still do a few things well, but making it clear that those few are just some poor unsuspecting pursued by the Prelature, or some poor inept. Funny how times are disqualified as TAS block all of the Work, so brutal, and tear their hair while dissecting a short phrase "official" which tracked a small nuance that is not addressed sufficient delicacy to people who have been in the Work.
Above all, forget that the vocation to Opus Dei Christian requirement involves a voluntary, serve Jesus Christ and the Church in love. All deliveries, delivery also double that of a man to a woman, or vice versa, is love, voluntariness, freedom, generosity in the gift. In the vocation to Opus Dei that delivery takes place in a positive and very free, for the love of God and others. If this reasoning ignores the supernatural, which is the love of God, everything becomes meaningless .
In summary, my opinion is always welcome any criticism should be well argued, but of little use to the monotonous cadence of a web search of systematic denigration.
