REGAIN Perspective on the Legion CRISIS
Enjoy the recent posts on REGAIN, where you will find a different perspective: not too far to the right or to the left. Not just Conservative Catholics going off on each other and blaming homosexuals. Not even just beating up on Fr. Maciel and the Legion, the pope or the Catholic Church. A deeper look into the causes and responsibilities of the deceiver and the deceived...the structures Maciel created, the accomplices, the aftermath, the effects he had on the whole Legion and Regnum system...

A wise sociologist studying closed groups asks
WHEN DOES AN ATTACK BECOME A CRISIS?
Ah, ha,
For years the Legion interpreted all and any criticisms as an ATTACK
But now it is in CRISIS
An interesting study for the sociologists of religious groups
