Journalist and author Gareth Gore shares what he said during his audience with Pope Leo XIV March 16: "By putting on record what information I shared with the pope in the meeting, nobody can now turn around and say: Well, we didn't know."
When Pope Leo XIV summoned the leader of Opus Dei to see him, in one of his first official papal audiences, Vatican watchers immediately began to wonder what the meeting meant.
Opus Dei presents itself as a group of devout Catholics who want to help others to live out their faith more deeply. But, writes author Gareth Gore, there's an insidious underbelly to the organization that most members know little about.
