The group, charismatic neoconservatives in cassocks, unconditionally devoted to Francis, was founded ten years ago by Father Giglio Gilioli, 73, and recognised as a "public association of the faithful” in Prato, Italy.
After a Diocesan Visitation in 2013, the group suffered an 2018 Apostolic Visitation which broke their neck.
