A thrilling exposé revealing how Opus Dei — Financial Times a secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic sect — pushed its radical agenda within the Church and around the globe, using billions of dollars siphoned from one of Europe’s largest banks. When Gareth Gore was dispatched to report on the sudden collapse of Banco Popular, he uncovered one of the most brazen cases of corporate pillaging in history, perpetrated by a group of men sworn to celibacy and self-flagellation.Drawing on unparalleled access to bank records, insider accounts, and exclusive interviews with whistleblowers from within Opus Dei, Gore reveals how money from the bank was used to lure unsuspecting recruits — some of them only children — into a life of servitude. He also tracks the ascent of Opus Dei around the globe, exposing its role in bankrolling many right-wing causes, including the US Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Recensioner i media

‘Opus is a genuine exposé, a fluid, authoritative account backed up by more than 100 pages of footnotes. It seeks to lift the veil on an organisation whose secrecy — and outward image of piety and impecuniousness — masks, according to Gore, a litany of exploitative practices, opaque money, and clandestine political influence operations that has, so far, culminated in the Trumpist takeover of the US Supreme Court … Gareth Gore has done a great service in putting all this material in the public domain in such a digestible format.’
