I used to got to Opus Dei events fairly frequently in college and let me tell you, it's underwhelming for anyone looking for a world-spanning conspiracy. We did a lot of praying and talked about how to make sure we were doing good things on a daily basis.

Spiritual director sounds scary, but it's pretty common on Catholicism, and generally they are nice old dudes that help you out with your problems, think therapy but without the bad parts. I'm sure there is abuse but, I haven't seen any, though there was one confessor I thought should have been thrown out an airlock.

Yeah, totally except for crypto-Jews running it now.
