The Vatican expelled ten members of the leadership of Sodalitium Christianae Vitae; a Peruvian lay organization that, days later, responded with a statement to the sentence of the doctrinal office. They say they accept Pope Francis' decision with \u201chumility and obedience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among those expelled were an archbishop, priests and a journalist was punished for \u201cabuse in the exercise of the apostolate of journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vatican document lists reasons for the expulsions as physical abuse \u201cincluding sadism and violence\u201d and others including spiritual abuse and the abuse of authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of these behaviors are not classified in the Code of Canon Law, but are considered criminal. In order to impose the disciplinary sanction, they are covered by canon 696.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, what is referred to in the document as the \u201chacking of communications,\u201d is the violation of the members' privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to the expulsion of these 10 members, in August, the founder of the organization, Luis Fernando Figari, was expelled after being accused of sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This decision by the Vatican comes after Pope Francis met with a Peruvian journalist who authored a book that covers members' testimonies of abuse from this organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2023, the Pope sent two top Vatican abuse investigators to Peru, Spanish priest Jordi Bertomeu and Archbishop of Malta, Charles Scicluna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the investigation, the two presented conclusions to the Pope, which ended with the decision of these disciplinary measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
