One of the biggest scandals in the history of the Church. Pope Leo XIV has spoken out

In a speech in Lima, Pope Francis urged bishops to collaborate with the faithful and foster an atmosphere of trust, avoiding tyranny and servility. He addressed the sexual abuse scandal in Peru, emphasizing the need for truth, justice, and prevention. The scandal involves the Sodality of Christian Life, founded in 1971, which has been linked to systemic abuse and financial misconduct. Following a Vatican investigation, the organization was dissolved in early 2025, after years of inaction from local church authorities.
