Regnum Christi Regnum Christi is an apostolic movement that
shares in the charism of the Legion of Christ. It
includes lay men and women, as well as deacons and
priests.
Regnum Christi´s current membership consists of about 65,000 youths, adults, deacons
and priests in more than 30 countries.
In November
2004, the Holy See granted definitive approval to the Statutes of the Regnum Christi Apostolic Movement. The text of
the decree explains that its mission is "to establish the
Kingdom of Christ in the world through the sanctification of
its members in the individual state of life to which
each one is called by God, and through individual and
organized apostolic action at the service of the Church and
its pastors […]. Its specific charism is the same as
that of the Legion of Christ: to know, live, and
preach the commandment of love that Christ the Redeemer gave
us through his Incarnation." In this way, the Vicar of
Christ confirmed the identity and charism of Regnum Christi.
