flag Pope Leo XIV met with Opus Dei prelate Fernando Ocáriz on February 16, 2026, confirming that revisions to the prelature’s statutes remain under study with no decision or timeline set. flag The review stems from Pope Francis’s 2022 shift of oversight to the Dicastery for the Clergy. flag The discussion covered global evangelization, vocations—highlighting contrasts between Africa and Europe—and institutional concerns, including ongoing scrutiny in Argentina over allegations of unpaid labor and servitude, which Opus Dei denies. flag The prelature presented two books on missionary work and reported about 94,450 members worldwide. flag No comment was issued by the Holy See Press Office.
