CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo received Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz Braña, moderator of Opus Dei, in a May 14 audience.
“It was a brief meeting in which the Pope expressed his closeness and affection,” Opus Dei said in a statement. “Among other topics, the Holy Father asked about the current study of the Statutes of the Prelature and listened with great interest to the explanations given to him.”
The statutes of Opus Dei had been slated for revision, on orders from Pope Francis. But the final approval of the proposed revisions had been postponed with the death of the Pontiff.
In a 2022 motu proprio, Pope Francis called upon Opus Dei to revise its statutes in light of Praedicate Evangelium, his apostolic constitution on the Roman Curia.
