Out of how many friars? Even good processed and judgment can be deceived by skilled manipulators. Especially if they hold off their real evil until they are ‘secure’ in ordination or final vows and have a good reputation.
I wonder if CFR's rapid growth came at the expense of thorough vetting. It also seems logical that groups that grow rapidly for good reasons (like CFR) will draw more than their share of predators seeking to join for the wrong reasons, men who perhaps rightly believe they can "sneak in", overlooked among a large number of postulants.
