@ TheViolet76: Opus Dei means "The work of God", singular. In Latin, Deus is the subject form in the singular, and Dei is the possessive form in the singular (as well as being the subject form in the plural). That's why, if you look it up, you will see that the Latin for "Lamb of God", which we say at Mass, is "Agnus Dei". Don't worry, Pope John Paul II really did know what he was doing! :-)
@TheViolet76 Opus dei means 'the work of God' singular, not plural. In Latin the noun 'declines' deus, deum, dei...etc. The plural 'the work of Gods' would be opus deorum'
I have a question: Opus Dei which means work of the Gods...cause in latin Deus (singular form) means God. What gods are they referring to? Don't we catholics believe in one God, the creator of heaven and earth in three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit? and yet ONE GOD? So can somebody please explain to me why is it endorsed By John Paul II if it is refering to some gods obviously not Catholic.
