In this episode of One Nation, Indivisible, Andrew Seidel speaks with Gareth Gore, author of a new book on Opus Dei, about the powerful intersection of religion and politics. They explore the controversial history of Opus Dei, its growing influence in Washington D.C., and its complicated relationship with Pope Francis. The conversation also examines the global implications of a future papal transition, what Opus Dei seeks in the next Pope, and the organization’s broader cultural and political ambitions. Plus, they discuss parallels with other religious movements and a major Supreme Court case over LGBTQ-inclusive books in public schools.
