‘He listened to me’: The victims of an abusive Catholic group say that Pope Leo XIV helped when others did not. world News

Vatican City: Pope Leo XIV helped a lot of enemies to eliminate a powerful Catholic movement, with the leaders of physical, sexually, spiritual and psychologically abused members physically, sexually, spiritual and psychologically misbehaved.Since the previous record of handling matters of sexual abuse of Leo comes under the purview of the probe, the victims of their largest protector group, known as Sodalitium Christian Weet. These remaining people say that in 2018, when the Pope was a bishop in Peru, Robert Prevost met him. He took his claims seriously when some others did, including the Vatican and worked to provide financial revaluation for the damage he finished. They credits her to help him arrange a 2022 meeting with Pope Francis, which triggers a Vatican probe into the group, resulting in suppressing it earlier this year. “What can I say about him? He listened to me,” Jose Ray Day Castro said, a teacher who spent 18 years in sodalitium as a personal cook for his leader Luis Fernando Figri. “This seems clear to a priest. But it is not, because the sodalitium was very powerful.”A conservative army for Peru’s common man, God Figry, established a sodalitium in Peru in 1971, as a community for the recruitment of “soldiers for God”. It was one of many Catholic societies that originated as a conservative response to the Left-Representation of Liberation Dharmashastra movement that was washed away through Latin America, which began in the 1960s. At its height, the group counted around 1,000 core members and several other branches in South America and the United States.It was very impressive in Peru and has an American base in Denver.Starting in 2000, stories about Figry’s twenting practices began to be filtered in Peru when a former member wrote a series of articles in the magazine Zent. In 2011, a formal allegation was made with Lima ArchidoC, but neither the local church nor the holy C took concrete action until former member Pedro Salinas and journalist Paola Ugaz did his 2015 book “Half Monks” in Half Monks, Half Soldiers., In 2017, a report commissioned by the new leadership of the group determined that the charismatic figure “was prone to ingestionist, paranoid, dimining, vulgar, disastrous, joint, racist, sexist, aristocratic and sexual issues and sexual orientation of SCV members.” The report found that Figry caressed his recruitments and forced them to make them and each other fond, that they loved to see “pain, trouble and fear”, and insulted others to others to increase their control. Nevertheless, when the members had the courage to flee and condemn the abuses suffering from them, they say that they often used to meet a wall of silence and inaction from Peru’s Catholic hierarchy and sacred view. Both were slow to act against a movement, which was formally approved by St. John Paul II’s Vatican, who was seen with a hobby on conservative, rich movements in Latin America, such as the same disintegrated Mexican-based legends. The prevost stands out, but not the prevost, which Francis made a bishop of Peru’s Chalio in 2014 and was later elected as the Vice President of the Peru Bishop Conference. The victims said they led the Commission’s Commission to listen to the victims of misconduct, and became an important “bridge” between the victims and the sodalitium. Ray Day Castro, former Figry Cook, who dropped out in 2014 and now teach public policy to Peru Police, turned into a prevost in 2021. He was important for the 2016 Sodalitium recharge program, which, according to the group, provided $ 6.5 million in educational, medical and financial aid to about 100 sodalitium victims in years. He and prevost met at the offices of the Peru Bishop Conference and remained in touch with the text message until the prevost’s choice as the Pope. From the beginning, Ray Dey Castro said, “Prevost was very clear in saying that” for me, there is not a charisma in sodalitium, “” for the existence of church words and a religious movement for fundamental motivation. After his 2021 meeting, Prevost helped arrange for a confidential disposal with sodalitium, he said. In an interview in Lima, he said, “Sodalitium was simply extraordinary to do something, which was more or less.” Salinas and Ugaz, for their share, say that Prevost also stepped into, when Sodalitium initiated retaliation against them with legal action for their constant discovery reporting on the group. Following the Archbishop of Sodalitium in Piura, Jose Aguren sued Salinas for defamation in 2018, helping Peru Bishop conference to Peru Bishop conference for Peru to Peru Bishop conference. “This was the first time that anyone publicly did anything against Sodalitium,” said Ugaz. “And not only did he announce this, but he communicated with Francis, told him what was happening and Francis went mad.” Ugaz and Salinas provided years of emails, text messages and renewers dating back to 2018 to display how much the prevost was committed to their cause. While all his initiatives were not successful, Prevost stepped on important junctions. “I assure you that I share your anxiety and we are looking for the best way to receive the letter directly to the Pope,” Prevost wrote a victim on December 11, 2018 to receive a letter from Sodalitium victims to Francis. “I will continue to work so that there would be justice to all those who were suffering from Sodalitium,” Prevost wrote another victim on 23 December 2018. “I apologize for church errors.” Sudalitium criticism rose against Ugaz and Salinas, helping to meet Agaz with Francis in Vatican on November 10, 2022, during which he made his conclusions and convinced Francis to send investigators of his top sex crimes to Peru. His 2023 investigation “highlighted physical abuses with Sadaks and Violence,” like a sect of discretion, spiritual abuse, the authority of the authority, which includes economic misconduct in the hacking of communication and administering the money of the church. The investigation also identified a campaign campaign, which some sodalitium members had imposed against critics. As a result of the investigation, Francis took a series of initiatives, which began with the resignation of Eguren in April 2024, which was handled by Prevost. It continued with the expulsion of Figry, Eguren and nine others, and finally the formal disintegration of sodalitium in April this year, just before the death of Francis. Sodalitium has accepted its disintegration, apologizing for “abuse and abuse within our community” and caused the entire church for pain. The group said in an April statement after signing the decree of disintegration, “With grief and obedience, we accept this decision, especially approved by Pope Francis, which ends our society.” There was no answer to the email sent to the group with specific questions about the role of the prevost. Prevost is now a target Leo’s record of handling cases of sex abuses, while it was an Augustinian superior and the bishop in Peru has come under renewed investigation on May 8 since its election. And overall, one of the biggest challenges facing the first American Pope of history would be how he addresses the clag abuse scam, which has shocked thousands of people around the world and distracts the Catholic hirship. The enemies were already crystall in the recent podcast hosted by Salinas on Peru’s La Mula Streaming Platform. While Salinas dedicated most of the hours of episodes to loudly read the seven -year shiny correspondence between sodalitium victims and the prevost, he also said that the prevost became the goal of a defamation campaign, which questioned to deal with previous misuse cases. Salinas convicted the campaign on Sodalitium supporters, trying to discredit her. One of the cases in question is a handling of allegations of misuse by three sisters by three sisters in 2022 by three sisters in Chikalayo. Suba and Vatican say that prevost did everything that he did, in which the priest was removed from the ministry, sending preliminary inquiry to the Vatican’s Sex Crime Office, offering psychological help to the victims and suggesting and suggesting them to go to Peru officials, who had collected the matter as it was long earlier. Nine days after the closure of the case of Peru officials, Prevost was nominated to name the Vatican’s office for the bishop and left the Suba. The Vatican stored the case for lack of evidence, but was reopened in 2023 after receiving traction in the media. Groups of victims are demanding an accounting from Leo. Some people in Salinas, Ugaz and even Vatican believe that Sodalitium supporters campaigned about the case and maligned the prevost to open it again. They note that the victims’ lawyer is a former anti -Augustinian opponent of Prevost, which has since been defined and has stopped himself from being introduced as a canon lawyer in Peru. Online misuse database Bishopaccountability.org’s Anne Barrett-Dial said, “Even though the SHICLAYO case is being exploited by Sodalitium supporters,” that does not mean that he handled the case correctly. “ He said, “Both things can be true: The then bishop prevost worked bravely on behalf of the victims of sodalitium and said he almost did not enough to investigate the allegations in Kuklaio,” he said. Signing his podcast, Salinas read a WhatsApp message with the prevost on October 16, 2024, when he warned him to be careful with the group. “This is very much in my mind,” Prevost wrote.
