“Pope Francis held a private audience Monday [Dec. 9] with three journalists who have investigated scandals linked to the Sodalicio de Vida Cristiana (SCV), a Catholic organization based in Peru. Paola Ugaz and Pedro Salinas have been the subject of multiple legal complaints and harassment on social media due to their reporting on the issue. This Monday at 9 a.m. they met in the library of the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican, representing the victims of the Sodalitium and other journalists who investigated the crimes committed by members of this community founded by Luis Figari in 1971.
This meeting followed another held by the Supreme Pontiff last Nov. 23 with Giuliana Caccia and Sebastian Blanco, who accused the SCV of harassment and filed a civil criminal complaint and an ecclesiastical complaint against a Vatican official investigating the group for an apparent violation of professional secrecy."
