with the directives of the Holy See." Opposition The tabloid German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau published a disapproving article by Jörg Schindler on the Holy See's approval of the movement, claiming that Opus Angelorum believes "smooth-haired dogs, peasant women, gypsies and midwives are particularly susceptible to Satanic impulses, that demons love to take control in Jewish business neighbourhoods and that a long-standing apocalyptic fight between angels and the Evil One is going on." Others interpreted the Holy See's statement approving the movement as instead a warning to beware of it. A possible example was the heading "Vatican warns of 'wayward' Opus Angelorum sect" given to a BBC news item the text of which stated that the warning was issued not against the Vatican-recognized movement but against some ex-members, who had either been expelled or who had left of their own accord, and who were endeavouring to form a rival "wayward movement" that would reject the norms issued by the Holy See. Christian Lichtenstern, writing in June 2017, also said that opponents of the movement's conservatism call it a sect. Under the heading, "Who really founded the Work of Angels (Opus Angelorum)?", someone using the log-in name Mariat recounted in the blog of the Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper the many expressions of distrust he had met with regarding the movement, expressions horrifying enough to raise goose pimples, while at the same time he mentioned that they did not fit in with what he knew of his parish priest, a member of the movement.

They undertook not to make his lose his position or suffer any other loss and performed an exorcism on him to combat "the demons of homosexuality Dragon, Varina und Selithareth" (names in Mrs Bitterlich's writings about angels and demons). Afterwards he committed a lust murder. Homosexual acts were illegal in India until 2018 (see Homosexuality in India) and Gstrein points out that concealing a design to commit an offence is punishable under Indian law. In Germany, the Initiative of Families damaged by Opus Angelorum () was founded in 1990. The exorcism using Mrs Bitterlich's demon names in violation of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's 1982 prohibition
