I have a friend (and yes she is Catholic) who actually believed a lot of what she read in the Davinci Code. Sadly, I wonder if this may be characteristic of a lot of people who don't know much about the Church, or more specifically Opus Dei. I guess you're doing some pretty good PR work for then on this posting! =)<br />-AOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27290715.post-19343351453882676862010-03-31T05:49:41.506-07:002010-03-31T05:49:41.506-07:00I was secretly hoping to find some sort of mid-evi...I was secretly hoping to find some sort of mid-evil torture device when I was in Jay's closet in December but no, all I found was clothes, dishes, and a laptop! Darn it! On a more serious note, what I know of Opus Dei is through you and Jay and since you two are my "faith models" I don't get it either. Remember though that people are mistrustful of what they don't understand. You can take anybody who doesn't "get" religion and talk to them about any faith and they will be defensive about it. You guys are amazing people and you surround yourself with other amazing people...I can't see anything to be freaked out over. You already have a toaster and mines on the fritz so hand it over sista!Jen Savardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27290715.post-26166265444566467732010-03-30T22:14:26.935-07:002010-03-30T22:14:26.935-07:00Plus, the albino monk-assasins are pretty cool -- ...Plus, the albino monk-assasins are pretty cool -- though I was sort of disappointed that I didn't meet any on the Men's retreat year before last, mostly just well-adjusted commited, prayerful Catholic guys who were trying to be better and more active Christians.<br /><br />So, I'm going again this year in the hope that some of the monk-assasins will show up this time...we'll see! ;-)Jason Schalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615785207693382803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27290715.post-64379434046668658172010-03-30T22:01:31.895-07:002010-03-30T22:01:31.895-07:00I completely agree with you and I have a deep love...I completely agree with you and I have a deep love and appreciation for Opus Dei.
