Pope Francis has appointed a high-powered commission to investigate a sacking at the Order of Malta, a lay order founded in the 11th century.
The order's grand chancellor, Albrecht von Boeselager, was forcibly ousted earlier this month after the Order of Malta said "an extremely grave and untenable situation" came to light. Italian daily Il Messaggero said the scandal concerned von Boeselager's tenure as health minister and claims that he didn't prevent the order's workers in Africa from distributing condoms.
