He had no code. He was not capable of having a code. I am no friend of the Legion because their “Council of Trent Catholicism” hurts more than it helps in my opinion. The world is hurting very badly and needs a practical, hands-on, gritty, down in the mud answer to salve the pain of a Godless existence. The Legion provides a Catholicism that was extant about 1900. Why would anyone support that? It serves no useful purpose.<BR/><BR/>Now, although Maciel was almost certainly not completely culpable for his own moral failings, neither is any sociopath. Frankly I make him look like a piker and an amateur in many ways. I am in no position to throw stones at this guy. But he certainly does not qualify to be seen as a bona fide teacher of Christian morals and the Catholic religion. He was a con man. A lot of good came out of what he started, but that success should be assigned to the Almighty and not to the Amoral.<BR/><BR/>Let the man rest in peace, but it is pretty clear that the very foundations of the Legion of Christ were set on sand. Business as usual is not going to get it. The Legion needs to do some serious thinking about bringing itself into the modern day needs of the Catholic people.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Tom Barnes<BR/><BR/>http://www.themcgurk.vpweb.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
