El Semanario 'El Sur' in Arequipa Speaks of the SCV; Sodalicios Respond

There is little available at the moment regarding this story. What appears to have happened, according to the Director of the weekly publication 'El Sur', is a controversy stemming from an article published on the Sodality of Christian Life.

The Director, Valerio Andia Carreòn, notes that this recent story has to do with similar allegation against the group - their brainwashing of youth - and new allegations ranging from the strange company kept by Luis Fernando Figari to the Sodality of Christian Life being in the business of the dead (through the sale of funeral/cemetery paraphernalia).

Like the very immediate responses made by Sodality members in previous exposés (see: Agencia Peru and Careta's coverage of the Sodality), Sr. Carreón claims that the Sodality of Christian Life members have threatened the weekly paper with the following statements: 'we are going to sue you' and 'the judges are our professors (at the University of Saint Paul in Arequipa, a Sodalit-run institution)'.

The Director of Communications and Institutional Relations of the Sodality, Miguel A. Jaramillo Luján, has allegedly placed phone calls trying to attract people from the weekly publication 'El Sur' offering 'juicy contracts to work with the University/Sodalits'.
