September 28, 2025April 16, 2011 by Tom Faranda Here's the story/rumor – which also gives a brief summary of the Catholic group – It is reported that Madonna spent last Friday with Opus Dei priests at the group's London headquarters. And here's a refutation on the OSV blog – Fantastic yarn. Unfortunately, it appears lacking in factual basis. Brian Finnerty, the U.S. communications director for Opus Dei, told me this afternoon that the story is not true.
