Carta de Dennis Dubro:

Mi denuncia al Opus Dei en un juzgado de Nueva York fue rechazada pero no por cuestiones de fondo sino porque, según parece, hay un plazo entre los hechos denunciados y su denuncia. No sé si mi abogado es muy bueno, dice que antes el plazo eran seis años y ahora ha cambiado a dos. 

Mi denuncia afirmaba que el Opus Dei había violado su compromiso con la Iglesia y conmigo, como miembro, como se documenta en los documentos secretos y las constituciones. Su compromiso es aceptar que sus miembros están legitimados para trabajar profesionalmente con libertad, con integridad y con excelencia. Yo soy físico pero el Opus Dei me destinó a hacer de contable en una obra corporativa, un colegio mayor masculino, Warrane College, en Sidney, Australia. Allí fui inducido, con engaño, a una práctica corrupta de mi trabajo. Yo protestaba por ello pero nunca me dieron toda la información acerca de mis actividades contables ni de su contenido y me dijeron que lo mío era solo llevar las cuentas con la información que me daban.  Al año hubo una inspección y se nos acusó de negligencia contable grave. Yo fui culpado de ello y apartado del trabajo. Y, eventualmente, cuando rehusé callarme al respecto, me echaron del Opus Dei, lo cual es también una violación del Derecho Canónico y las mismas reglas del Opus, supuestamente aprobados por la Iglesia. Me echaron a la calle después de haberles entregado todo lo que tenía y había ganado en diecisiete años.

Después de que mis denuncias a la Iglesia fueran ignoradas, un sacerdote canonista me recomendó que reclamara por vía civil. En ese sentido, el Opus Dei funciona como una red mafiosa, también en los juzgados civiles. Yo busqué por Internet posibles abogados competentes al respecto e hice una lista de cinco en Manhattan. El quinto aceptó mi caso y el segundo, que se extrañó de cómo le había encontrado, terminó haciéndose cargo de la defensa del Opus Dei, lo cual es muy sospechoso.

Sincerely yours,

Dennis Dubro

Texto original en inglés:

I am emailing you interested parties to say that my lawsuit against Opus Dei for fraud and breach of contract was dismissed in New York court. It wasn't dismissed for lack of grounds, but because the statute of limitations had expired.I am not sure how good or competent my lawyer was. He told me the statute of limitations, from time of discovery of the fraud, was six years. Now he says the law was changed in 2004 and shortened to two years.

As a quick review, Opus Dei violated their commitment to the Church (and to me, as a member), as is supposedly documented in the approved but secret statutes and constitutions, that members are entitled to carry out their professional work in complete freedom, with integrity and with professional excellence. I am a physicist, but Opus Dei, assigned me to work in accounting in our corporate apostolate, a men's dormitory, called Warrane College in Sydney, Australia. I was deceptively drawn in slowly, with increasing levels of involvement, into a set of corrupt accounts. I raised a number of concerns, but I was never given full access to the accounts, nor fully informed of the purposes of my activities, and I was lead to believe that I was only providing summaries of figures supplied to me, for the few months that I held the position. We were audited in less than a year and written up for gross negligence. I was blamed and removed from office. And eventually, when I refused to remain silent about the gross dishonesty, questions of conscience and lack of propriety, I was dismissed from Opus Dei, which is also a violation of canon law and their secret statutes and constitutions, which have supposedly been approved by the Church. I was thrown out on the street after given them everything I owned or earned for seventeen years. It was only after my first complaints to the Church were ignored, that a priest-canon lawyer recommended that I have recourse to civil action.

With regard to the operations of Opus Dei, there is continual concern about their secret "old-boy" networks. And nothing less happened in my lawsuit. Cross-referencing an Internet search with a lawyer's directory, I came up with a short list of five lawyers in Manhattan to contact to represent me in filing my lawsuit. The fifth lawyer agreed to take my case. The second lawyer that I spoke to asked me how I got his name. Iwas quite surprised to find that when my lawsuit was filed, out of all the lawyers practicing in Manhattan, the second lawyer that I spoke to, who refused to take my case, was the one defending Opus Dei. The probability that this lawyer did not contact Opus Dei boggles the mind.

Sincerely yours,

Dennis Dubro
