George Weigel, a Vatican expert and biographer of Pope John Paul, called the Legionaries statement very significant because it spelled out that Father Maciel could no longer be a model for the organization, and because this is being done because Joseph Ratzinger insisted on getting to the bottom of the controversy. Mr. Weigel said he hoped it paved the way for the refoundation of the order.
You do know Maciel is deceased?
BTW, my children attend, and my wife is employed by, a school founded by the Legionaries of Christ.

Btw, Ratzingers officer ignored this for years and years. He did finally order an investigation.
But what about the people that were abused in the meantime????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You do not get a pass because you eventually do the right thing.
Ratzinger’s office was in charge of sex abuse for more than 20 years.
So he is the head of the snake on this one.
