Escriva is not a true saint
Yes, he is. His life demonstrated it and the Holy Father confirmed it. He's the one who makes that decree.
Escriva, who has been described as a meglomaniac, has had a canonization which is riddled with irregularities. It was pushed through while the Pope was near death and very weak. The cult knew he was sick and was able to ram it through just before he died. Millions was spent on getting the Escriva the saint title.

Escriva stole his writings from St. Francis de Sales "Introduction to the Devout Life"
Ah, so you admit that his teachings are perfectly consistent with Catholic tradition, then? When Catholics speak the Catholic faith, they aren't "stealing" it from the saints.
No. Escriva stole St. Francis de Sales teachings and claimed them as his own.

He didn't write of the unique lay apostolate, which is secular, and which is a means of sanctifying the world, and which is rooted in baptism and thus does not need to be supervised by the hierarchy. St. Josemaria said no, this was the laity's distinctive vocation.
The Opus Dei cult sought to remove itself from control of the local bishops so that it could do whatever it wants in every diocese in the world. In essence, it turns each diocese into a free-fire zone, since there is no accountability whatsoever.
The Opus Dei cult is completely controlled by the priestly hierarching within Opus Dei itself. Thus, the concept of it being lay is, like many other things with regards to Opus Dei, a lie.
