In an extraordinary move, Pope Francis has ordered the dissolution of the influential Peruvian Catholic group, Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, following a decade of abuse allegations tied to the organization, including accusations against its founder.
The group, which once boasted 20,000 members across South America and parts of the United States, confirmed the Vatican’s decision in a statement. However, no official announcement or comment has been issued by the Vatican so far.
The Spanish-language publication Infovaticana first broke the news, with Sodalitium acknowledging the report’s core accuracy while disputing unspecified details. This significant step by Pope Francis underscores the Church’s growing efforts to address and eradicate systemic abuse within its ranks.
