Pope Leo XIV met with Opus Dei leader Fernando Ocáriz on Feb. 16, 2026, as reforms to the group’s statutes remain under review with no decision or timeline set.
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.
The review stems from Pope Francis’s 2022 shift of oversight to the Dicastery for the Clergy.
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.
The prelature presented two books on missionary work and reported about 94,450 members worldwide.
No comment was issued by the Holy See Press Office.
