Opus by Gareth Gore

Opus: The Cult of Financial Chicanery, Human Trafficking, and Right Wing Conspiracy Inside the Catholic Church by Gareth Gore

A chilling exposé of power, secrecy, and systemic abuse hidden behind religious and financial institutions. In Opus, investigative journalist Gareth Gore uncovers a decades-long conspiracy involving the ultra-conservative Catholic sect Opus Dei, the collapse of Banco Popular, and the covert funding of global right-wing agendas.

About the Book

What began as a financial investigation into the 2017 collapse of Spain’s Banco Popular quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. Gore reveals how Opus Dei operatives allegedly siphoned billions from the bank to expand their influence, recruit vulnerable individuals—some reportedly children—into lives of servitude, and bankroll political causes, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the U.S.

Drawing from bank records, whistleblower interviews, and insider accounts, Gore paints a disturbing portrait of a secretive organization operating with impunity across continents. The book explores how religious devotion, financial manipulation, and political ambition intersected to create a global network of control and exploitation.
