Opus Dei is a controversial Catholic organization founded in 1928 by Josemara Escriv. The organization’s stated mission is to promote holiness and evangelization among ordinary people. Opus Dei has been accused of being a cult, and its members have been accused of engaging in brainwashing and other forms of abuse.
One of Opus Dei’s most ambitious projects is Project 2025, a plan to increase the organization’s membership to 250,000 by 2025. The project was launched in 2015, and it has been met with mixed reactions. Some Opus Dei members have welcomed the project, while others have expressed concerns about the organization’s rapid growth.
