Archdiocese of Denver Statement on Sodalitium Christianae Vitae Expulsions
The Archdiocese of Denver is shocked and saddened by the news of expulsions of members from the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, based on decades-old allegations in South America. While the Archdiocese is actively working to understand the full extent of the Vatican’s investigation, we are unable to comment on specifics. This news is inconsistent with our longstanding experience of the men who have served within the Archdiocese of Denver.
Amongst those named living here, Father Daniel Cardó has served nobly and faithfully in Colorado for 17 years. During his time here, Fr. Cardó has not faced a single disciplinary action against him, and he remains a priest in good standing within the Archdiocese of Denver. He is beloved by his parishioners and well-respected in the community. The once-dying Holy Name parish community in Sheridan is now thriving due to his commitment to the Lord and those he serves.
Similarly, Eduardo Regal and Alejandro Bermúdez have served faithfully and with distinction in the Archdiocese of Denver, and the findings against them are deeply disappointing, to say the least.
