Untold: Opus Dei, Ep. 1
Financial Times
— · 36min
Untold host Antonia Cundy uncovers the cultural and political influence of a controversial Catholic organisation in America.
Opus Dei exists to help people get closer to God, but some members say they found other agendas – and unexpected harm – entangled in that spiritual mission.
We meet Sarah – a young girl drawn to Opus Dei’s message that professional work can be a path to holiness.
At 18, Sarah says goodbye to her family and moves into an Opus Dei centre to learn how to make her work an offering to God.
But what she experiences there feels different to the organisation she thought she knew.
Sarah chafes at unexpected rules, unquestioning obedience and dehumanising treatment.
