Opus Dei ("God's Work") is a powerful and influential conservative Roman Catholic organization founded in 1928 by Josemaria Escriva (who styled himself with the aristocratic title "de Balaguer"), who was canonized in 2002.
They practice mortification of the flesh, and are regarded by some as a religious cult. Their detractors accuse them of being influenced by fascist ideas: Escriva was certainly a supporter of Francisco Franco.
