I’d like to also note the rocky relationship between the Vatican and Opus Dei.
Discussion

i thought the name of the branch that operates in portugal that it's about Fatima.
and yeah, i dig the vibes of the madeiran catholics. just not my thing.
I’m talking about a catholic institute mostly based in Spain called Opus Dei (the Work of God in latin), that aims at linking catholic laymen together from different professions and walks of life and foster a community between them where they help each other. Opus Dei provides means to help achieve this goal. Some of their members were ministers in Franco’s government in Spain. I invite you to read more about it, it’s quite interesting.
And their relationship with the Vatican knows its ups and downs.
