Malén Oriol, the assistant for consecrated life to the General Director, has sent a letter to all the consecrated women announcing that she has presented her resignation to Cardinal Velasio De Paolis. In her letter, she mentions that some consecrated women have asked the Holy See for permission to live out their consecration not as members of the Regnum Christi movement but under the authority of a bishop.  As of yet, Malén has not clarified if she intends to form part of this new group.

We don’t yet have details of this initiative, but we wish them all the best in their new endeavor and pray that they will be blessed with great success in their spiritual growth and service to the church.  We are deeply grateful for all the years that they have lived as consecrated members of Regnum Christi; let us pray for them and keep the gift of the consecrated life in Regnum Christi in our prayers so that God grant each one of us the grace to move forward in this path of renewal that the Holy Father has invited us to undertake.
