Leaders of a Catholic Group in Christchurch, the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, have been asked to leave the Christchurch Diocese after an investigation into allegations of abuse made by former members of the institute.
While a spokesperson for the group wouldn't confirm the exact nature of the allegations, several members in the past have accused the church of performing unlicensed exorcisms, some on young children.
To find out about more about this group, their history and their place in the Catholic church, Massey University religious history expert Professor Peter Lineham joins the programme.
