3/which legit news outlets are taking seriously. they are right wing, #OpusDei & trad aligned & they are for-profit.

The Catholic Hallow prayer/sleep/conversion app has very strong ties to #OpusDei. I’ve been researching & writing about this app since 2022. I’ve received some idiot crit for characterizing #Hallow as “a prayer/conversion/sleep app”. The beef is w/the “sleep” part. 1/

Opus Dei P2: more pain, less gain In this two‑part deep dive, we wade back into the shadowy waters of Opus Dei—an organization that somehow manages to be a bank‑adjacent power broker, a cult‑coded spiritual discipline factory, and, according to ongoing legal cases in Argentina, an alleged human‑trafficking operation all at once. We trace the group’s reach from the “Little Sisters” labor‑trafficking lawsuits to the celibate numeraries practicing mortification rituals straight out of a Dan Brown fever dream, and then into the political tentacles stretching through Washington, D.C., the Federalist Society, Project 2025, and beyond. With whistleblowers, ex‑members, Vatican pushback, and a suspicious number of billion‑dollar friends, Opus Dei emerges less like a prayer group and more like a shadow network with influence in finance, government, and conservative Catholic power structures. Also: tentacles. So many tentacles.National Catholic Reporter, "The Case Against Opus Dei" (January 2025).

La experiencia de Marina Pereda en el Opus Dei desde la adolescencia Marina Pereda relata en su libro 'La Obra' su experiencia dentro del Opus Dei, organización fundada por José María Escrivá de Balaguer, a la que perteneció desde los 14 años y medio hasta los 24. Describe cómo desde muy joven se vio inmersa en una estructura de presiones constantes que condicionaban su libertad y su desarrollo personal, utilizando prácticas como el 'minuto heroico', mortificaciones físicas y psicológicas, y un control sobre su vida social y académica. Marina explica que, aunque no había coerción física directa, existía una manipulación constante mediante la guía de sacerdotes y directoras espirituales que se convirtieron en sus confidentes, promoviendo la obediencia y la entrega total. Relata además cómo la organización ejercía presión para impedir su salida, a pesar de que legalmente podía abandonarla. La exmiembro también detalla las dificultades laborales dentro de la organización y cómo fue acompañada por psicólogos tras su salida, denunciando que estas dinámicas afectaron su salud mental. Su testimonio se enmarca en un contexto más amplio de críticas a la orden, que recientemente ha sido objeto de denuncias por presunta trata y servidumbre en Argentina, y plantea un debate sobre la manipulación y control en grupos religiosos de carácter coercitivo.

Opus Dei, Ep. 3: Snow on the mountaintops Over the past decade, elite universities have become home to a network of influential conservative think-tanks fighting against the “woke secular creed”. Meanwhile, at Opus Dei student centres, the next generation of ambitious leaders hear similar moral teachings creep into partisan politics. Is it just ideas that link the two – or more?

Exactly! God and Jesus punish (but only those who the Vances, Alitos, Barrs of the world dislike).

Would this ⤵️ surprise me?

No

Because #OpusDei is the part of the story everyone is missing (see below)

And Pope Leo is a huge threat to the political power #OpusDei wields in Washington, D.C.

He is the biggest threat to #OpusDei since its founding 100 years ago in Franco's fascist Spain

3/ to Gore’s book will help to create cover, & a look of fairness if he fails to hold the cult responsible for their malfeasance & criminal conduct. #VaticanOptics Roman #CatholicChurch #OpusDei #CleanseTheTemple #PopeLeo

2/Leo has dragged his feet / allowed #OpusDei to stall on submitting revisions on their ( OD’s) statutes for which Pope Francis had been waiting. 3/Given #OpusDei ‘a & US Bishops collusion in iinstalling t Rump, & the pope’s status as a (US) American, demonstrating an openness >

It's the weird mix of #EpsteinClass meeting #OpusDei

With Peter Thiel blubbering about Antichrist while all these Apartheid brats are stealing federal funding for their offshore accounts and crypto wallets..

Emails between Bannon & Epstein dating to 2018 lament the Vatican's push against xenophobia, racism & populism.

Globally Opus Dei has faced scrutiny over their political influence & its ties to #conservative movements & activists.

Opus Dei or Nay This week we're Journeying through the strange, secretive world of Opus Dei—a Catholic power‑sect known for celibacy, discipline, political influence, and a suspicious number of high‑ranking professionals. We cover its origins under Josemaría Escrivá, its rise during Franco’s dictatorship and what you need to know about Opus Dei.Along the way, Taylor bravely confronts his belief that “self‑flagellation” might involve toots (it does not), while we unpack gender‑segregated living, financial obedience, and the cult‑within‑a‑cult energy that keeps Opus Dei at the center of conspiracy chatter. This episode sets the stage for next week’s deeper dive into their real‑world controversies and dark‑money influence.Gareth Gore is the man who wrote the book you're gonna want to check out; Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic ChurchI will be reading it long after I drafted and recorded this episode - Chelsie
