A recent media report falsely claimed that Opus Dei received a letter from Pope Leo XIV related to the statutes of Opus Dei. We wish to make clear that no such letter has been received.

The process followed to adapt the statutes and the next steps to be taken can be found at the following link.

We continue to work with the Holy See on the revision of our statutes in a spirit of trust and unity.
