Contrary to recent media reports, there have been no further developments regarding the updating of the statutes of Opus Dei to bring them into line with the revised norms for personal prelatures.
It is important to clarify that the matter under consideration is not Opus Dei itself, which Pope Francis referred to in his Motu Proprio Ad charisma tuendum as “the gift of the Spirit received by Saint Josemaría Escrivá,” stating that he had written it “to protect the charism of Opus Dei and to promote the evangelising action carried out by its members in the world.”
