Much of the group’s political and financial clout today – especially in Spain – can be traced back to its political ascendancy during the Franco years. And there are Opus Dei followers in DC today as Gore has written: How Opus Dei has flourished in the era of Trump

Gareth Gore: In Argentina, Opus Dei again plays the victim card in ongoing human trafficking case. It accuses public prosecutors of “exploiting" judicial system "to generate media hype.” Former members react with shock: “I just can’t get my head around it, it’s so plainly evil and self-serving.”

As a victim-survivor of the Catholic hate cult Opus Dei, I reckon it’s time they started being treated as exactly what they are: the world’s largest organised criminal network. Their rampant abuses and rabid attempts at cover up continue to destroy so many lives. #christofascism #opus #auspol
