In this latest episode, I sit down for a conversation with investigative financial journalist and author Gareth Gore. We talk about his new book, "Opus," and the revelations and details it contains. You're gonna want to hear this one out.

This episode is a combination of speculative diologue, personal opinion, and anecdotal/alleged experiences unless otherwise proven to be fact in a court of law. Someone in a position of true authority should really take a good, hard look at this issue.

We need to talk about Project 2025.

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.
