Opus Dei's own official page describing its canonical structure as a personal prelature: jurisdiction resting on a spiritual charism rather than territory, dependence on the Roman Pontiff and the Dicastery for the Clergy, and members remaining under their local diocesan bishop for sacramental life. Reliability tier 2: a self-published institutional source, reliable for the prelature's own account of its own canonical structure and jurisdiction, and used here only for that self-description, not for any evaluative or contested claim.
