It's true though that the preferred secret society/cult among the Spanish status quo directly involved with the Franco regime and the Bourbon monarchy is the rather infamous Opus Dei. Then, in the 90 and 2000's when the post-Francoist mainstream party first took power (I mean after Franco's death), there was a lot of noise surrounding the Legionaires of Christ.
Incidentally, it is my understanding that this Catholic cult demands a vow of "humility" that includes not looking for positions of power and influence. Which is rich (no punt intended), since there have been several Spanish ministers and CEOs who belonged to it.
So there you have it, religion, exclusive/secretive/"discreet" (as the Freemasons prefer to describe themselves) societies and power, usually conform to a similar pattern.
