It's March 16th. Let's get into entertainment and celebrity news. Pope Leo recently held a private meeting with investigative journalist Gore, who claims that Opus Day covered up sexual and financial crimes. The prominent Catholic group, which has links to right-wing politicians in the U.S. and elsewhere, strongly denies the accusations. This one-on-one session at the Vatican stood out, as the Pope usually meets a wide variety of people, but rarely sits down privately with a journalist. Like this, the Vatican press office explained that the Pope wanted to hear the allegations straight from Gore himself.

Opus Day, often called the work of God, got its star back in 1928, founded by a Spanish priest. It focuses on helping everyday Catholics pursue holiness through their daily jobs, and most members are laypeople who follow tough spiritual rules, including choosing celibacy. The organization has deep connections inside the Vatican, with many staffers being members, including past leaders of the press office. It also has a big footprint in Peru, where Pope Leo spent decades as a missionary before taking his current role. There and around the world, Opus Day pushes to share Christian teachings far and wide. Gore's book lays out claims that the group uses emotional control on members and leverages its power for financial wrongdoing. These fresh allegations have put Opus Day back in the spotlight amid its history of influence. For now, the group stands firm in rejecting all charges, and the Pope's meeting,

signals his interest in getting the facts firsthand. We'll keep watching for any updates from the Vatican. DNA is sponsored by our partner. Check out the episode description. A pillow that sounds as good as it feels. Built for listening in bed, sOLI solelypillow.com.
