Looking at Religious Movements and Politics of the Church in Latin America.
The Sodality of Christian Life is a consecrated laymen and priest movement founded by Figari on Dec. 8 /71. Sodality of Christian Life members make perpetual promises of celibacy, obedience and communication of goods to make themselves fully available for apostolic work in the world. Goes by the names: Sodalitium Cristianae Vitae (SCV) and Sodalicio de Vida Cristiana (spanish) and Sodalício de Vida Cristã (portuguese).
The Christian Life Movement (Movimiento de la Vida Cristiana) was founded by Luis Fernando Figari in 1985. It is made up of both people who join the movement on a individual level and associations whose members are identified with the Christian Life Movement. This includes Solidaridad en Marcha (Solidarity in Action).
All organizations founded by Figari are under the same umbrella, known as the Sodalit Family.
