Pope Francis Dissolves Peruvian Catholic Group After Abuse Investigation

Pope Francis has decided to dissolve the Sodalitium, a Catholic group from Peru, due to long-standing abuse allegations within its community, including against its founder.
The dissolution was confirmed by the Sodalitium and communicated to its members by Cardinal Gianfranco Ghirlanda.
This decision follows a 2023 Vatican investigation that revealed 'sadistic' abuses of power and authority within the group.
Activist Ugaz stated that this decision is 'unprecedented' as it targets a Catholic organization for abusing its members and committing economic misconduct.
