October 10 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Are radical Catholics in Opus Dei secretly funding a dark political agenda in the US and world? Join UK Financial Times Gareth Gore and cohosts Anne-christine d’Adesky and Jay W. Walker for another live podcast of Revisioning Democracy at the Bureau of General Services – Queer Division, on Thursday, October 10th at 5 pm EST.
We’ll talk about Gore’s new book, Opus, an investigative deep dive into Opus Dei’s secret history for the first time. Opus is a thrilling exposé revealing how the secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic sect has pushed its radical agenda within the Church and around the globe, using billions of dollars siphoned from one of Europe’s largest banks, Bano Popular in Spain. Gore exposing its role in bankrolling many right-wing causes globally, including the US Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. His book provides new details of the people and dark money ties between Opus Dei faithful and militant US Catholic activists including Leonard Leo, who is now bankrolling Project 2025, other US conservative architects of its Christian nationalist agenda. Opus comes out October 1 from Simon and Schuster.
