The Financial Times published an article titled "The Opus Dei Diaries" back in March of 2024. The fall-out and subsequent media coverage since has been interesting, to say the least. In this latest installment of The Deep Dive Project's expose on the Catholic organization Opus Dei, I take a critical look at the article, as well as Opus Dei's response to it. Needless to say, I have some thoughts. DONATE to the GoFundMe for the forgotten sisters of Opus Dei: https://gofund.me/256fafca
