An
Opus Dei Worldwide Update
JUNE and JULY 2008
Disclaimer
PURPOSE
Given the ever increasing importance that the Opus Dei has for the
events leading to the End of These Times (1), we have initiated this
page wherein we will publish the headlines, with links, of stories
somehow related to the activities of the Opus Dei and which appear in
the world wide media. No editing will be made - the good, the bad and
the indifferent will be published alike.
We have full confidence on the Holy Spirit of God and know that those
who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear (2) will see and hear what
they need to better prepare for the events which started to publicly
unfold when H.H. John Paul II (3)
was elected to the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and which were
"kicked" into high gear when Cardinal Ratzinger assumed the name of
Benedict XVI. (4)
