Opus Dei is an institution of the Catholic Church that, by a purported divine inspiration, was founded in Spain in 1928 by Catholic priest Josemaría Escrivá. It is classified as a cult because of its practices and political activities. Its own stated mission is to help its lay and clerical members to seek Christian perfection in their everyday occupations and within their societies.
Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer y Albás, born Jose María Escribá Albás, was a Spanish Catholic priest who founded Opus Dei, an organization of laypeople and priests dedicated to the principle of everyday holiness. He was canonized in 2002 by Pope John Paul II, who declared Josemaría should be "counted among the great witnesses of Christianity."
The universal call to holiness is a teaching of the Roman Catholic Church that all people are called to be holy, and is based on Matthew 5:48: "Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect". In the first book of the Bible, the call to holiness is expressed in the Lord's words to Abraham: "Walk before me, and be blameless".
