Pope Francis has made the rare decision to dissolve the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, an influential Catholic group from Peru, due to longstanding allegations of abuse within its community. The group, which once boasted 20,000 members across South America and parts of the United States, has been plagued by accusations of abuse, including those involving its founder, for over a decade.
The Vatican has not officially commented on the dissolution, but the Sodalitium confirmed the news in a statement. The decision to suppress the group follows a 2023 Vatican investigation that uncovered disturbing abuses of power, authority, and spirituality within the organization.
