Opus: The
Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the
Catholic Church (English Edition) Kindle Edition
English
edition by Gareth Gore (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
A
thrilling exposé recounting how members of Opus Dei—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 the
world’s largest banks.
For over
half a century, Banco Popular was one of the most profitable banks in the
world—until one day, in 2017, when the Spanish bank suddenly collapsed
overnight. When investigative journalist Gareth Gore was dispatched to report
on the story, he expected to find yet another case of unbridled capitalist
ambition gone wrong. Instead, he uncovered decades of deception that hid one of
the most brazen cases of corporate pillaging in history, perpetrated by a group
of men sworn to celibacy and self-flagellation who had secretly controlled
Popular and abused their positions there to help spread Opus Dei to every
corner of the world.
Drawing
on unparalleled access to bank records, insider accounts, and exclusive
interviews with whistle-blowers 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 within
the United States, exposing its role in bankrolling many right-wing causes,
including the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
In an era
of disinformation and deep fakes, here is a real-life conspiracy which hid in
plain sight for more than sixty years. Gore tells a shocking story of money and
power that spans decades and continents. Documenting Opus Dei’s secret history
for the first time, this thrilling work of investigative storytelling raises
important questions about the dark forces that shape our society.
