The Order of Malta, the ancient Catholic order
of knights which is now a worldwide charity, on Thursday sought
to reassure members and donors that a recent showdown between its
former leader and the Vatican had not weakened its loyalty to the
pope.
At the same time, senior members of the Order, which was founded in 1038, acknowledged that the highly public clash led by its former top Knight, Grand Master Matthew Festing, had hurt donations.
