Paola Ugaz described her meeting with the Pope as “a big message to the survivors of the Sodalicio, who continue without a response, justice, reparation.” (The Sodalicio is the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae (SCV), whose founder was disciplined by the Vatican in 2017.)

A Peruvian archbishop who is a member of the SCV filed a defamation suit against Ugaz; the SCV’s members include priests as well as laity.
