The Schoenstatt movement in Germany has called on individuals who knew its founder, Father Joseph Kentenich, to share memories and documents as part of an ongoing investigation into abuse allegations. The Diocese of Trier suspended the beatification process in 2022 after a 2020 accusation by Church historian Alexandra von Teuffenbach.
