And Pope Ratzinger 'has approved this decision made public today by the Holy See's press office, with a declaration taking account of the validity of the works founded by him. 'Independently of the person of the Founder we recognise with gratitude the apostolic merit of the Legionaries of Christ and the Regnum Christi Associations'.
