I ran across a letter he sent in 1958 to the fascist Spanish dictator, Franco. It's not especially damning, but neither is it especially reassuring:
To his Excellency Franciso Franco Bahamonde, Head of State of Spain Your Excellency:
I wish to add my sincerest personal congratulation to the many you have received on the occasion of the promulgation of the Fundamental Principles.
My forced absence from our homeland in service of God and souls, far from weakening my love for Spain, has, if it were possible, increased it. From the perspective of the eternal city of Rome, I have been able to see better than ever the beauty of that especially beloved daughter of the church which is my homeland, which the Lord has so often used as an instrument for the defense and propagation of the holy, Catholic faith in the world.
Although alien to any political activity, I cannot help but rejoice as a priest and Spaniard that the Chief of State’s authoritative voice should proclaim that, “The Spanish nation considers it a badge of honor to accept the law of God according to the one and true doctrine of the Holy Catholic Church, inseparable faith of the national conscience which will inspire its legislation.” It is in fidelity to our people’s Catholic tradition that the best guarantee of success in acts of government, the certainty of a just and lasting peace within the national community, as well as the divine blessing for those holding positions of authority, will always be found.
I ask God our Lord to bestow upon your Excellency with every sort felicity and impart abundant grace to carry out the grave mission entrusted to you.
Please accept, Excellency, the expression of my deepest personal esteem and be assured of my prayers for all your family.
Most devotedly yours in the Lord,
Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer
Rome, May 23, 1958
Opus Dei's goals require power and control in the Church and secular world. They like money, lots of it, and people in high places. Opus Dei is the first and only Catholic "order" to recruit non-Catholics and non-Christians as members. One has to ask what a non-Catholic would benefit from such an association. The idea they "just want to help" is ridiculous. The organization exudes a "one world religion" mindset. Blind obedience is essential to maintain control over workers who might otherwise question erroneous ideology.
Escriva himself was a modernist revolutionary who masqueraded under the aura of conservatism. His canonization is null under Pope Urban VIII's decree that if the position of devil's advocate was removed from the canonization process, no canonization would take place. This was first done specifically for Escriva's canonization. Under Urban VIII's decree and the 1917 code of canon law, his sainthood is non-existent. The 1983 code of canon law did not abrogate prior law but simply ignored it. This is the modernist tactic: to ignore truths of the Faith without denying them and committing outright heresy.
