Opus Dei ("God's Work") is a powerful and influential conservative Roman Catholic organization founded in 1928 by Josemaria Escriva 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.
