    Question #104058. Asked by author. (Mar 22 09 10:16 AM)

    Opus Dei, formally known as The Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, is an organization of the Roman Catholic Church that teaches the Catholic belief that everyone is called to holiness and that ordinary life is a path to sanctity.

    The majority of its membership are lay people, with secular priests under the governance of a prelate (bishop) appointed by the pope.

    Opus Dei is Latin for "Work of God", hence the organization is often referred to by members and supporters as "the Work"

    Queen is with no doubt the greatest band ever. The following lyrics all come from songs that were at some point Queen hits. Some are pretty obscure songs but I should think that you would know at least one of them.
