The governing bodies of Holy Cross and Opus Dei are world-famous for their religious work and the significant relevance of their founders in Catholicism. José María Escriba de Balaguer. After his death in 1975, through the efforts and grace of Pope John Paul II, his sainthood was recognized and he was inducted into the ranks of saints in the Catholic Church with astonishing speed.
some assumptions Miraclewould be the basis for promoting his canonization, although a more logical assumption is that the financial and political and social importance of Opus Dei members determined his sanctity.
Although respected and hard-working priests must wait years to be declared a saint, like Father Broccello, or admirable lay people, like Mama Antura, a true example of holiness, she must be in the Vatican A long process with Escriba de Balaguer.
Dictators don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why it bothers those who think they have the truth.
Perhaps most importantly Used a last name that didn’t match hishe was involved in forging documents to show off his recognized noble surname, and through these forgeries he succeeded in having the dictator Franco restore the title of Marquis of Peralta to his advantage, without counting the many testimonies that reflected his vanity. It’s hard to hide.

Founder Opus Dei born in BarbastroBorn José María Escribá in 1902, he was a member of one of the many impoverished noble families of Huesca, Kingdom of Aragon. He is the son of José Escribá Corzán and María de los Dolores Albas Blanc, the former a A humble businessman, the latter’s second surname does not appear anywhere, except that his great-grandfather originally came from the city of Balaguer in the province of Lleida.
Time passed and by 1915 he had become José María Escrivá. v replaced B, which has a clear meaning, since the Escrivá family not only had blood, but also held numerous noble titles, many of them Spanish nobility, such as the Escrivás of Romani.
In the baptismal certificates of Bishop Escribá and his brothers, a marginalia was added in the 1940s by decision of the representative of Bishop Barbastro, modifying the surname and adding “de Balaguer”.
It’s on his parents’ marriage certificate and his brother’s marriage certificate that I checked. Write with long Band in no case was a surname added to them: “Balaguer”, which is completely inconsistent with them. He has no connection with Spanish graduates.

In the baptismal certificates of Bishop Escriba and his brothers, a marginalia was imposed in the 1940s by the decision of Bishop Barbastro’s representative, modifying the surname and adding “de Balaguer”. besides The General Directorate of Registration and Notary Publication does this by ordering the addition of non-corresponding surnames nowhere. In this way, the humble José María Juián Escribá y Albás became the great and influential José María Escribá de Josémaría Escrivá de Balaguer. Surnames changed significantly, and items were modified to add surnames not associated with family members.

However, in addition to trying to create a parentage other than his own, Lord Escriva found it necessary to connect with the nobles and achieve this goal. Obtaining the title of marquis was no small matter, because his ambitions would not be hindered by facing the nobles. stop. I think that as Opus Dei spread everywhere, there was a certain complexity in approaching powerful and titled people, and although from 1940 he signed himself as Escrivá de Balaguer, it did not add to what he undoubtedly wanted social prestige achieved.
Escriba de Balaguer, through skilled and famous genealogists such as Adolfo Castillo Genzol and the falsification of various documents, demanded the restoration of the title of Marquis of Peralta, which The title was conferred by Emperor Charles VI in 1738 to Juan Tomás de Peralta Franco de Medina, Marchioness of Peralta. Totally wrong because it makes no difference.
The dictator Franco made this request in early January 1968, and with unusual speed approved it in July of the same year through the Decree of 1851. From then on, he joined the ranks of the Spanish nobility. In addition to the moving impact, the process was not free, as Monsignor Escriva had to pay hundreds of thousands of pesetas in addition to the cost of piecing together the false family tree.

He became Marquis of Peralta, proving that he thus obeyed the orders of his family to place his blood in its place, although I imagine this must have caused a great deal of noise among the members of the Opus who entered at the time. Take action consistent with Christian teachings.
For a man who displayed simplicity and promoted humility and holiness in his daily life, displaying unseemly vanity was a contradiction that could not be concealed. Apart from An important saint of the church who left behind wealth and titles when he accepted the priesthooda relevant example is San Francisco de Borja, III Superior of the Jesuits, IV Duke of Gandia, I Marquis of Lombay, Grand Duke of Spain and Governor of Catalonia , he joined the order after his wife’s death and even declined the title of cardinal offered to him. This is what true nobles do when they become pious through strong faith.
Escribá de Balaguer was not one of those willing to give up power and wealth by joining a religious order. He sought to strengthen his social prestige in this way, although four years later, faced with Many problems forced him to give up his religious beliefs.
But before that, He thought the Marchioness would allow him to join the Knights of Malta, He did not achieve this because in this case the title was not enough and he had to provide proof of nobility which he did not possess, which represents the frustration he felt over his career in obtaining these privileges.
Because his humble aristocratic origins were not enough for him Bishop Escrivá often mentioned his relationship with St. Joseph of Calacance and Miguel Serveand with the cooperation of his closest collaborator Álvaro del Portillo, convinced everyone of his family’s illustrious origins.
The only thing left to do was to see what was done to the house of Barbastro where he was born, it did not quite match his lofty ambitions, they demolished it and built a new building that became entreiacos cultural centerpromote the Catholic faith.
What is noteworthy about this case is that Marquise Peralta, Even distant relatives did not match him, and the title was restored on October 16, 1883 King Alfonso

**Interview with Dr. Lucia Ramirez, Religious Scholar and Author of “Behind the Altar: The Complex Legacy of Saints”**
**Interviewer:** Good morning, Dr. Ramirez. Thank you for joining us today. In light of recent discussions surrounding José María Escrivá de Balaguer, could you share your insights on the factors that led to his rapid canonization and the implications it has for the perception of saints in the Church?
**Dr. Ramirez:** Good morning! It’s a pleasure to be here. Escrivá’s swift canonization in 2002, just 27 years after his death, is a fascinating case study. It certainly raises questions about the intersection of power, influence, and spirituality within the Catholic Church. His members, particularly in Opus Dei, had significant political and financial clout which may have expedited the canonization process compared to other candidates who lack such backing.
**Interviewer:** You mention the influence of Opus Dei. Critics have suggested that this organization’s prominence may have overshadowed more humble examples of holiness. Can you elaborate on that?
**Dr. Ramirez:** Absolutely. The contrast is stark when you look at figures like Father Broccello or Mama Antura, who took much longer to receive recognition despite their exemplary lives. This discrepancy raises concerns about the genuine criteria for sainthood and whether it remains focused on personal virtue and miracles, or if it is swayed by the socio-political context surrounding candidates.
**Interviewer:** There’s also the controversial aspect of Escrivá’s nobility. The article mentions his use of a name that didn’t match his background and involvement in document forgeries. How does this affect our understanding of him as a saint?
**Dr. Ramirez:** It complicates the narrative significantly. Saints are often portrayed as models of virtue, yet Escrivá’s actions, particularly in his quest for noble status, exhibit a certain vanity that contradicts the humility he promoted. This duality is particularly unsettling for those who uphold the ideals of sainthood as a reflection of authentic Christian living.
**Interviewer:** Some may view these revelations as a challenge to the integrity of the canonization process. What do you think this means for future saint candidates?
**Dr. Ramirez:** It certainly introduces a layer of skepticism. Future candidates may face heightened scrutiny, not just in their spiritual lives but also regarding their backgrounds and the socio-political influences surrounding them. It’s essential that the Church reevaluates what qualities truly define a saint if it wants to maintain trust among its followers.
**Interviewer:** what do you believe should be the focus of the Church moving forward, given these complexities?
**Dr. Ramirez:** The Church must prioritize transparency and authenticity in the canonization process. While historical context is crucial, it should not overshadow the core values of humility and service that saints embody. Engaging with the community and showcasing more diverse examples of holiness will help restore faith in this vital aspect of the Church’s mission.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Ramirez, for your insightful perspectives. It’s clear that the legacy of figures like Escrivá will continue to provoke thought and discussion within the Church and beyond.
**Dr. Ramirez:** Thank you for having me! It’s important we keep these conversations going as we seek to understand our faith more deeply.
