The move against the leadership of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, or Sodalitium of Christian Life, followed Francis’ decision last month to expel the group’s founder, Luis Figari after he was found to have sodomized his recruits.
The decision was announced by the Peruvian Bishops Conference, which posted a statement from the Vatican embassy on its website.
