Thank you Jack, for the detailed and profound explanations and also the relativizations and corrections. This helps members of the Work to maintain inner peace and also outsiders to better understand Opus Dei.
Dear Jack Righteous indignation noted. 😐 So I know this has nothing to do with your post but.... I wonder, when you became aware of the violation of labour laws by Opus Dei in many countries(including your own) did you experience the same righteous indignation? Did you feel compelled to come out in defence of the many ex nax, particularly the Argentinian 43, who are seeking justice and compensation for the many years of labour with no payment? For work they carried out in OD centres day after day with no proper breaks or actual holidays. Not just across Argentina, but also in the UK, Ireland, Spain, USA, Australia, the Philippians, Nigeria and every country where assistant numaries 'serve' OD. I wonder if you gave a second thought for the domestic staff of the centre where you live, staff that were recruited, mostly as minors to carry out the jobs that you as a numerary man, felt were beneath you, but perfectly acceptable for us to do? Nothing wrong with properly renumerated domestic work, I have no argument with that. However Jack, I am sorry to say but I do have indignation. After spending years washing/ironing/folding your clothing, cooking your meals, serving you these meals and cleaning your house...for nothing! Yes, I have indignation. How does this sit with you? 🤔
