This is very interesting and astonishing that the Vatican knew about this and took so long to do anything whatsoever. Some questions: When and where was this found and who obtained it? In whose possession is this now? Where is the original?
ReplyDeleteTo remind you of the obvious: the Vatican is a big place and I am sure there are lost archives and documents all over the place. On the other hand, the same Vatican seems to be able to find and locate documents when it wants to. So someone must have done "due diligence"
ReplyDeleteUnable to answer your questions.
It would seem that someone went to the trouble to collect the documents but I do not know when it was done or by whom.
We can speculate that the investigation into the life of Marcial Maciel ordered by then Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation of the Faith, at the end of 2004, maybe against the pressure of Card. Sodano -Maciel's protector- and other MM supporters, was a huge step. I believe nobody has given him full credit for this. He then assigned Monsignor Scicluna to re open the Maciel case/archive. Maybe Scicluna looked at the previous investigation in 1956-59
The Vatican
Apparently the Mexican researcher, Fernando M. Gonzalez had access to it when he wrote his book: Marcial Maciel, Legion of Christ: unpublished testimonies and documents, Tusquets, Mexico, 2006 [in Spanish, not translated]. www.regainnetwork.org introduced this book to the English speaking world a couple of years ago
