29:48Now PlayingOpus Dei presents itself as a Catholic movement dedicated to finding holiness in everyday life. Critics and former members, however, allege a far darker reality.
Bianca Nobilo is joined by investigative journalist Gareth Gore, author of Opus, who traces the organisation's rise from its founding in Spain in 1928 to its influence in politics, finance and the Catholic Church.
He examines allegations of psychological manipulation, labour exploitation, human trafficking and abuse - claims Opus Dei strongly denies - and explores the controversial legacy of founder Josemaría Escrivá, the movement's culture of secrecy, and its global reach.
Gore also explains how he had a meeting with Pope Leo XIV, where he called for an independent Vatican investigation, Opus Dei's detailed rebuttal to his book, and questioned whether one of the world's most influential Catholic organisations is facing reform or renewed growth.
Opus Dei rejects Gareth Gore's characterisation of the organisation and denies allegations of human trafficking and other wrongdoing discussed in this conversation.
