Controversies about Opus Dei have centered on allegations of secretiveness, including the cover-up of sexual abuse in Spain, Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, and the United States; recruiting methods aimed at teenagers becoming numeraries; the illicit use of psychiatric drugs in its central headquarters; the misleading of its lay faithful about their status and rights under Canon Law; the "mortification of the flesh" practiced by its celibate members (cilice, discipline, and sleeping on a board); elitism and misogyny; and support of authoritarian or right-wing governments, including the fascist Franco regime.
