The Daily Mirror:

For the past 15 years, she has been Kabbalah’s most high profile and dedicated follower.

But now Madonna has apparently ditched the controversial faith and taken up with Opus Dei – the secretive Catholic sect made famous in The Da Vinci Code.

Please, Space Kadet One, post your photo ! I hear that putting it on the front door keeps burglars away, better than a watch dog. Then again maybe we oughta let you 'Age' a few more years and get something truly gruesome.

Madonna, the exhibitionist singer and sinner of yesteryear, is wiser than most. She is seeking God. Escape YOUR sins, like Madonna, do a 'Google' search for, " The Divine Mercy " and switch your destination from the eternally roasting in hell, to Paradise. Now That my friends is the Ultimate UP GRADE !

Those with the Greatest need for The Divine Mercy, have the greatest Right to it. This lady would appear to be a lot brighter than most of us ever gave her credit for. I wish her well.

The reason they are "dumping" on Madonna, In this story which I do not believe is because of
the expensive collapse of her plan for a school in Malawi. I feel that this woman has a good heart. She was ripped off by people she thought she could trust.
I suggest that she works with a group like Focus Adolescent Services, who for decades have known what they are doing and have done it.

Changing religions is like changing genders. You should only do it once to avoid permanent disfigurement.

If it causes disfigurement, then that means you're wearing it too tightly.

I'm late to this party but I must say I'm impressed by your wisdom.

I agree that one should not be too attached to any dogma. But I think there's something to be said for the ability to commit to something. Religion isn't a "product" where one can buy one brand this week and another the next week.

That said, I think 15 years shows commitment and if Madonna feels that it's time to move on, then more power to her. But Opus Dei? 0_o

Opus Dei, the Catholic secret cult which wants to canonize General Francisco Franco, the former Fascist dictator of Spain, a saint? Along with Mussolini and Spanish Nationalist priests the Loyalists killed during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s.

Next, we'll learn Opus Dei will award Madonna with the Lucretia Borgia Prize annual prize for Best Catholic girl of the year.

Maybe she's trying out for the role of Mary Magdalene.

Secrecy should be an anathema to religion. Whether it be Opus Dei, Scientology, Mormonism, or any religion, one should be turned off by a religions lack of openness. Run away quickly if they need your credit card before revealing their mystical secrets.

Say what? A woman that has built her entire career on being sexually suggestive is going to join an organization of whom 30% of its members are celibate? Either she's gone nuts or this article is a bunch of BS. I'm voting #2.
