===Corruption=== Members of Communion and Liberation in positions of power in Italy have faced criticism for allegedly surrounding themselves with persons affiliated with Communion and Liberation or sympathizers, thus excluding individuals of different or opposing social, political, or religious views.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.ilfoglio.it/granmilano/2018/01/21/news/comunione-e-liberazione-piccola-mappa-della-diaspora-del-fu-potere-celeste-173678/|title=Tutti i ciellini del presidente. Piccola Mappa Della diaspora del fu potere Celeste|access-date=2018-08-09|language=it}}</ref> Carrón responded to these widespread moral charges in an interview with the Italian newspaper ''[[La Repubblica|Repubblica]],'' in 2012. "It is a burning disappointment. The ideals of Communion and Liberation movement are far from the corruption surfacing in the Mafia Capitale investigations. And seeing that among those being investigated are people of the movement is cause of profound sadness for us."<ref>{{Cite news|date=2015-06-11|title=Julian Carron: "Un'enorme delusione ma Cl è agli antipodi"|language=it|work=Repubblica.it|url=http://www.repubblica.it/politica/2015/06/11/news/julian_carron_un_enorme_delusione_ma_cl_e_agli_antipodi_-116584997/|access-date=2018-08-09}}</ref> In December 2016, [[Roberto Formigoni]], former governor of [[Lombardy]] and former unofficial Communion and Liberation political spokesperson, was sentenced to six years in prison for bribery and corruption after four years of investigations.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.ansa.it/english/news/2016/12/22/ex-lombardy-governor-formigoni-gets-six-year-jail-term-2_10370b1e-ca85-4c3c-97a6-836d2679e0ee.html|title=Ex Lombardy governor gets six years for corruption - English|date=2016-12-22|work=ANSA.it|access-date=2018-08-09|language=en}}</ref> In 2012, when Formigoni resigned as governor due to scandals, Carrón released an interview in which he stated, "There may have been people who used CL in a certain way ... we don't intervene in the documents or acts of those with political responsibilities. There are no CL candidates, there are no CL politicians. The sooner this is made clear, the better."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.lastampa.it/2012/05/02/vaticaninsider/caso-formigoni-carrn-chiede-perdono-5K1TYRRYtKh0rqqecl4BJK/pagina.html|title=Caso Formigoni, Carrón chiede perdono|work=LaStampa.it|access-date=2018-08-09|language=it-IT}}</ref>
