This complaint was submitted to the Abuse Section of the Congregation for the Faith Doctrine of the Vatican Tribunal.


Between 1974 and 2015, the Opus Dei held 43 women working without pay and in conditions similar to slavery in Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia.

This Catholic lay and clerical organization recruited the women as teenagers by promising to provide them with an education. Subsequently, however, they worked without pay as janitors, chefs, and maids in the service of the Opus Dei members and their guests.

In a letter sent to Pope Francis earlier this year, the exploited women emphasized they were deceived because they did not expect to become servants of the elite "in the name of God." They also requested that the Catholic authorities apologize, compensate them for the damages, and stop these types of labor practices.

Among those involved in this violation of labor rights are ex-Regional Vicar Victor Urrestarazu, the Opus Dai highest authority Monsignor Fernando Ocariz, and Auxiliary Vicar of Rome Mariano Fazio Fernandez.

1. A lot of damage is done by religions, the Catholic Church is right up there at the top of the pile

2. With members including such paragons of virtue and intellect as

Hanssen, who was so pious he sold out his own country for cold Russian cash, and anal efluvium Santorum who was so putrid a liar that even Pennsylvania voted him out of office, Opus Dei truly represents the elite of the most corrupt and hypocritical body of religious “faith” extant. I speak, of course, of the Catholic Church.

Slavery is not OD’s worst sin, but the church still wields enough power that media is hesitant to do a thorough expose.

Maybe this foul and flagrant pooping on the so-called “Justice of Jesus” will inspire Pope Frankie to investigate, surface the evil practices, and at last annihilate this organization — at the same time he ups the energy in his so far subdued assault on church pederasty and child rape.

I doubt it, but maybe I’n just too cynical.
