Pope Francis Expels 10 from Catholic Movement in Peru

Pope Francis has taken the unprecedented step of expelling 10 people from the Sodalitium of Christian Life, a Catholic group in Peru, after a Vatican investigation revealed shocking 'sadistic' abuses of power and spirituality.

This decisive action comes on the heels of Francis' decision last month to expel the group's founder, Luis Figari, who was found guilty of sodomizing his recruits.

The announcement was made through a statement from the Peruvian Bishops Conference, which published the Vatican embassy's decision on its official website.
