Opus Dei Accused of Carlist Infiltration and Financial Prop-Up of the Vatican
In a shocking revelation, sources close to the Vatican have revealed that Opus Dei, a conservative Catholic organization, has been infiltrated by Carlists, a far-right group with ties to the Spanish monarchy. The alleged infiltration has led to concerns about the group’s influence on the Vatican’s financial dealings and its potential impact on the Catholic Church’s global operations.
Background:
Opus Dei, founded in 1928 by Saint Josemaría Escrivá, is a personal prelature of the Catholic Church, dedicated to spreading the message of Christianity and promoting spiritual growth. The organization has a significant presence in over 80 countries, with a strong focus on promoting Catholic values and principles.
Carlists, on the other hand, are a Spanish far-right group with ties to the Spanish monarchy. The group has been accused of promoting anti-democratic and anti-liberal ideologies, and has been linked to several violent incidents in Spain.
Allegations:
According to sources, Carlists have infiltrated Opus Dei’s ranks, using the organization as a means to gain influence and access to the Vatican’s financial resources. The alleged infiltration has led to concerns about the group’s potential impact on the Vatican’s financial dealings, including its investments and charitable activities.
Financial Ties:
The alleged infiltration has also raised concerns about Opus Dei’s financial ties to the Vatican. Opus Dei is one of the largest financial contributors to the Vatican, providing significant funding for the Church’s global operations. The group’s financial ties to the Vatican have been criticized by some as a means to exert influence over the Church’s decision-making processes.
Consequences:
The alleged infiltration of Opus Dei by Carlists has significant implications for the Catholic Church and its global operations. The Church has faced numerous scandals in recent years, including financial mismanagement and abuse of power. The alleged infiltration could further erode trust in the Church and its leadership.
Reactions:
The Vatican has declined to comment on the allegations, citing the need to protect the confidentiality of its internal affairs. Opus Dei has also refused to comment, stating that it is committed to upholding the principles of the Catholic Church and promoting spiritual growth.

This breaking news story is developing rapidly, and we will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
I wish I had remembered earlier that there is a flair here "conspiracy theory", which means that you can come up with any old tosh and put it down as a conspiracy theory without even checking the facts in sources, which I haven't got time for at the moment. So here are a couple, from my experience and crazy imagination.
In the late 70s/80s, there was a military coup in Spain called the "Tejerazo" which failed when King Juan Carlos intervened. I wonder if Opus Dei was then used by Carlistas in it as a different kind of vehicle to get a Borbon king on the throne. The idea is that it uses church structures to get a pro-Opus Dei pope who would let them do what they want, even more than now. Maybe they think that if a Pope mandates a holy war in Spain to get a Borbon back on the throne, God will be behind this and make it succeed. ("If God is for us, who can be against?")
It's interesting that some senior people in Opus Dei are from Carlista families, like Don Alvaro. I also know a powerful person in OD now with such links. Don Javier has a Basque name – I wonder if he has some family links to Carlistas.
I wonder if there is a secret network within Opus Dei – perhaps at the "delegate" level, who call the shots, and even tell the Prelate what to do, or decide who the prelate should be.
I also wonder if Opus Dei money may bankroll the Vatican. Opus Dei people could have dirt on every senior Vatican official, even the Pope. They may use this dirt and their money as blackmail to avoid serious reform and keep going until they can get their choice of Pope to appoint Opus Dei as the true church.
Opus Dei people and Vatican officials, esp. the Pope may be making secret deals as we speak to show the world in the coming weeks that the Vatican is seriously reforming Opus Dei but in practice is not.
If you see any news of reforms, the key point for lay people of OD is: is there going to be a lay association (see canons 298 to 329) that will enable the church to protect lay people.
There is a canon somewhere that says that religious (and priests too?) can be members of lay associations. So perhaps one way for priests to secure protection against abuses by the prelate is for them to join such an association. Any takers – DM me.
