Description
Summary:This article offers testimonies of spiritual and sexual abuse committed in the Sodalitium. It describes the conservative ethos which characterises the foundation of the Sodalitium in Peru, and places a severe emphasis on obedience and discipline which Luis Fernando Figari promoted so strongly within the Sodalitium and in the communities of consecrated women associated with it. This study argues that the sexual abuses perpetrated by German Doig, Luis Fernando Figari and other leaders, and the damaging impact of this abuses on the survivors, should be understood as part of a broader culture of spiritual abuse.
