The news is a funny beastтАж if religious orders had these kinds of problems and were suppressed every day for decades, weтАЩd also probably never hear about them because it would be so common place it wouldnтАЩt new newsworthy. ItтАЩs really important to remember when trying to maintain a perspective on all the negativity, something newsworthy is typically a rare occurrence, like a shark attack or a particular kind of crime, even if you see similar bad news clustered in a short timeframe.
Good people, God be praised, are not newsworthy as scoundrels which generally means that most people most of the time are not scoundrels.
All of these тАЬgreat personal prelaturesтАЭ approved by my fellow Pole and Saint. All in the interest of gold and power. One of Revelation 18тАЩs тАЬmerchantsтАЭ. Also surrounded by Curial merchants. His Team Escriva saved themselves from suppression by hiding Charles John McCloskey III, S.T.D until he kicked off 2 years ago. The blinding light of sainthood obscures a lot of the damage JP тАЬthe greatтАЭ did. But hey, do your saints church, the laity will always be around to pay for and do the clean-up.
Do you have evidence that these organizations were approved for the sake of gold and power? A person can be holy and still mistaken about other people. From what I read when I looked for McCloskey online was that as soon as Opus Dei had evidence he was an abuser the order moved to restrict his contact with women. As opposed to what was done with, for instance, Rupnik.
Read the financial scheming behind the looting of Spanish banks by Opus Dei in Gareth GoreтАЩs book. The additional Opus Dei bashing beyond the bank looting is over the top. But Escriva and his Spanish banking friends were a pot of gold for the Church. A pope who tapped into that ill gotten gain has to answer to the Messianic judge like the rest of us.
And please donтАЩt inundate me with ad hoc Opus Dei 108 page criticisms of GoreтАЩs sense of nuance and semantics about Opus DeiтАЩs тАЬlessons learnedтАЭ in creating an infinite web of off the books entities. (A) Rome had to be pretty stupid not to ask where the golden goose was hidden. (B) I knew Gore as a forensic financial journalist at Bloomberg and his coverage was fact-based and fair. Until Opus Dei puts their money where their mouth is and litigates against Simon and Schuster for libel, GoreтАЩs narrative on the Spanish bank looting stands for me. If it looks too good to be true, Holy Mother Church will take it and look the other way.
St. John Paul II, May God be merciful to you and all of us.
Is there a new Latin American religious order founded after the council that was not founded by an abuser?
Probably. But theyтАЩre not in the news so weтАЩll probably never know about them unless you go looking.
You're right! Here's an example: https://hnaseep.com/about-2/. They look awesome. It is honestly such a relief to have found a counter example.

How many suppressions of papal rights does a fast-tracked saint get before he loses his fast-tracked halo?

I am a scholar of the Renaissance/Reformation, not modern history, so I wouldn't know about any of this, which is why I asked.
