- Summary
- Founded in Spain in 1928, the Catholic tithe organisation known as Opus Dei has grown from being a small, devout European cult to become one of the largest and wealthiest churches in the world, with multi-million dollar headquarters in New York and branches around the Globe. This book charts the rise and growth of Opus Dei and tells the life story of its founder, Father Jose Maria Escriva, and examines the many allegations of collusion between Opus Dei and the Mafia, its involvement with various secret societies, the CIA and the Vatican. It also reveals the truth about the supposed practices of self-flagellation and penitence among Opus Dei devotees.
