Knights Of Columbus & Opus Dei

[Ziggamafu]

If I become a Knight of Columbus, does that rule out the possability of joing Opus Dei in the years to come? Can you be in both groups?

[Didymus]

There's no rule in the KoC that would not allow you from joining the Opus Dei. But I don't know any of the Opus Dei rules about joining the KoC. Why would you not be able to?

[Colleen]

I think Opus Dei encourages just being in one kind of apostolate. At least that has been my experience.

[jswranch]

I could not imagine OD telling folks they have to rescind their membership in KoC.

[Red Knight]

Please provide some background to the question. what have you heard?

[Ziggamafu]

I haven't heard anything. I've thought about Opus Dei every now and again and that it is probably something I would like to join later on in life, when things are a bit more settled. I never thought of the KoC until recently, when a series of events convinced me led me to believe I may be called to that group. I think I will probably join within a year from now. However, I still have a pretty strong attraction to Opus Dei - only that's something that I don't think I should seriously pursue for ten years or so...anyway, that's why I was wondering if by joining KoC now, I simultaniously make the certain decision not to ever be Opus Dei.
