– a recommendation that the Holy See publish an account of Fr Macielâ€s double life, with his specific crimes described individually and then distribute this to every member asking them to sign an affidavit certifying that they have read and understood it.

– instruction to bishops around the world to more closely supervise the work of the Legionaries of Christ and Regnum Christi within their dioceses

– repudiation of the founder
