Answer 7

The two groups mentioned were Opus Dei and the Priory of Sion.

Opus Dei is probably the one you're looking for.

From Wiki:

Opus Dei, formally known as The Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, is an organization of the Roman Catholic Church that teaches the Catholic belief that everyone is called to holiness and that ordinary life is a path to sanctity.

The Prieuré de Sion (translated from French as Priory of Sion) is the name of several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, the term refers to a fringe fraternal organization founded and dissolved in France in 1956. However, since the 1960s, it has come to refer to a mythical secret society plotting to install the Merovingian dynasty on the thrones of France and the rest of Europe since the Middle Ages. This myth was speculated on, and popularized by the 1982 controversial book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, [1] and later claimed as factual in the preface of the 2003 conspiracy fiction novel The Da Vinci Code.[2]

PS.  Responding to another answerer... where did you read that Opus Dei opposes communism?  I find no evidence of this in any of my reading, and if it were true, it's certainly not their primary function.  I did find that they supported the Spanish dictator Franco, however.

The Illuminati was not used in the Da Vinci code, but was used in Angels & Demons.
