Peruvian Cardinal Pedro Barreto Jimeno of Huancayo said he believes Sodalitium Christianae Vitae and any other religious movement mired in sexual abuse should be dissolved.
In an interview with Peruvian radio station Radio Santa Rosa March 9, Cardinal Barreto said that while “there are good people in Sodalitium,” the cases of sexual and physical abuse, as well as financial irregularities, cannot be ignored.
“Personally, I think that when a religious organization has committed a crime, because it has to be said that way — from the point of view of sexual abuse and the economic side where there are also problems — it has to be dissolved,” he said.
