Opus Dei - Should this creepy cult that flouts the law be banned?

I think so.

Numerary members pledge to remain celibate and generally live in Opus Dei houses. They commit their entire salaries to Opus Dei, submit incoming and outgoing mail to their directors, and practice various forms of corporal mortification, including use of the cilice, a spiked chain worn around the thigh, and use of the discipline, a knotted rope for whippingPS: I know this is more in the vein of a pauper post, but what the hey, the Jim Jones fan club, Opus Dei, Scientology, lost souls to dumb to reason and too selfish to stay out of the way

You got the facts wrong again. Except for Opus Dei. Amen.

Amen.Now I am no fan of these guys, but I was under the impression that they are just another safe haven for those that are fond of the group hug. Why should these guys be banned more so than the Catholic church or QVC. After all you pays your money and you takes your choice.
