What Have the Legionaries of Christ Said About the Pandora Papers?
On October 4th, the Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ published a key statement to clarify confusions generated by the so-called “Pandora Papers,” since several publications falsely attribute to the Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ the capital and activity of two trusts (Salus Trust and AlfaOmega Trust) that were neither established by the Congregation nor are in any way under its control.
This statement also explains which trust (Retirement and Medical Charitable Trust – RMCT) the Congregation has established and what its purpose is. You can read all this information in the Legionaries of Christ informational note about the Pandora Papers.
Is it true that the Legionaries of Christ have millions of dollars in trusts in New Zealand?
No, that is not true. The publication of these articles about the Legionaries of Christ and the Pandora Papers has raised some questions, which have been addressed with answers in a list of the most frequently asked questions arising from the publications.
Some of these questions, besides whether it is true that the Congregation has millions of dollars in trusts in New Zealand, include whether the congregation currently has offshore entities, whether it has evaded taxes with the trust it did establish to receive donations, or why it has sold houses and properties over the past 10 years if it has so many millions in a trust.
