Pope tightens oversight on creation of new religious orders

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis on Wednesday tightened oversight on creating new religious orders to exert more Vatican control over the process and prevent charlatans from duping the faithful.

The new law was approved as the Vatican in recent years has cracked down on the founders of some religious orders and lay institutes after they were found to have been religious frauds who sexually or spiritually abused their members.

Usually, religious orders begin as small “institutes of consecrated life” that are approved by a local bishop to operate in his diocese. Over time, if they attract more members, they can apply to the Vatican to get pontifical recognition, like the Jesuits or Missionaries of Charity.



 
It's scary the amount of power they still have over the minds of the masses across the world in 2020.
It’s a cancer. I’m fine with different ideas of creation and morality, but not in the organization of religion.

4 decades of abuse. What happens to believers that grow up in these systems of organized abuse? How can you honestly believe in what's being preached if all of that is going on behind closed doors of the church?

Sometimes I think most of these dudes are atheist thriving for power under the guise of faith.
