Communion in the Hand, Old Mass: Founder Would Not Recognise Opus Dei

The decline of the Opus Dei is becoming more pronounced by the day, Caminante-Wanderer.Blogspot.com (January 28) wrote.
Today’s prelature would be unrecognisable to its founder, José Escrivá de Balaguer (+1975), the blog believes.
Escrivá was aware fo the fact that Communion in the hand was introduced in an abusive manner. He called it “an exception permitted in a restrictive manner and in order to avoid greater evils.” The reasons for receiving Communion kneeling and on the tongue were for him “still fully valid.”
Escrivá also ordered his priests to keep the Old Rite missals and vestments, “because the Mass of all life, the Mass of St. Pius V, will return!” However, when it returned, the Opus Dei showed little love for it.

The headline of this news is confusing or even malicious. Who is Wanderer? Any new prophet? Are you coming visions or perhaps hallucinations?
If Escrivá lived, he would do the same thing that he did in the last years of his life: he would suffer the unspeakable, he would pray and make people pray for the almost generalized apostasy in the true Church of Jesus Christ. He spent two years in a row …More
The headline of this news is confusing or even malicious. Who is Wanderer? Any new prophet? Are you coming visions or perhaps hallucinations?
If Escrivá lived, he would do the same thing that he did in the last years of his life: he would suffer the unspeakable, he would pray and make people pray for the almost generalized apostasy in the true Church of Jesus Christ. He spent two years in a row crying. An ecclesiastic from the Roman curia had told him that it was better to play dead. It is the same thing that the current Prelate, Mons. Ocáriz, is doing.
Regarding the Holy Mass, D. Ávaro asked Bishop Bugnini, the author of the liturgical reform, if he allowed Escrivá to say the Mass prior to the change and he said there is no problem. Until now, in all Opus Dei centers the mass is said in Latin and the priest looking at Christ. Communion is received on the knees and in the mouth. In the public Churches that have priests of the Prelature, there are usually communion stations in all, which are ordinarily used. And in these churches where there was no expensive altar for the people, the corresponding diocesan bishop has forced to put it up.
In his three prophetic letters, two in 1973 and one in 1974, he warned of what was happening then in the Church, which is what any well-informed Catholic now sees, and indicated what had to be done: first of all, a sincere struggle to seek Christ in whatever environment one was in. Razar a lot for the bishops and especially for the Oapa, whoever it was. "Christ. Mary. The Pope. Have we not just indicated, in three words, the loves that comprise the entire Catholic faith?"
He could have done what Bishop Lefebvre did, which would have been a much bigger disaster for the Church. In 1970 he undertook many penitent pilgrimages to Marian shrines. Since the bishops were like dumb dogs, he decided to do catechesis of good doctrine in Spain and Portugal. In 1974 he did the same in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Peru where he suffered from pneumonia. In 1975 he in Venezuela and Guatemala. He died exhausted offering his life for the Church and for the Pope. He suffered a true martyrdom without bloodshed.

Thank you. I found the site, and the book in question only partially translated there from the Spanish. I can't comment on the chapters not translated but those which are hit home. Much has evolved over the years, and obviously in the American parasitic manifestations, but the basics persist. See also decades of postings at Opuslibros.org , ODAN.org and, among many others: akacatholic.com/…More

Excellent points of observation.

Opus Dei is the Mormonism of the Catholic Church. It is a sectarian chameleon with the primary goal of growing itself. The laughably 'original' charism of "growing holy in the world" was always a marketing gimmick. Don't mistake seemingly traditional conservatism with the real thing. Most admirers of this little "parallel church" and its narcissistic founder are ignorant of the onion's inner layers.
