The Vatican is investigating seven priests from the Legion of Christ religious order for alleged sexual abuse of minors and another two for other alleged crimes.
In a statement, the Legion confirmed it had referred seven cases of alleged abuse to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
All but one of the seven cases involves alleged abuse dating from decades ago; one case involves recent events, the Legion said.
A preliminary investigation cleared two other priests accused of abuse, the order said.
