I'm not questioning anyone of you who saw this fragmented picture. Nevertheless I have met with some exLCs that left the Legion precisely because of this red flags most of us did not notice, or if we did, we moved on without further questioning because of the myth built around him. My point is that the current superiors knew this picture from a long time ago, they obviously knew more than you and received other red flags from legionaries reporting from all over the world (meeting him hand in hand with a lady on a beach, or seeing him in hotel rooms with unknown male companions in non clerical attires, etc). They decided to hide the truth about Maciel and to continue promoting the myth to keep him above all suspicion even after he was formally condemned by the Holy See in 2006. This effort lasted until late 2008 when they started telling about the daughter, but still denying sexual abuse cases.

If you had friends in another community, or frequently visited another religious community, you would have seen very different behavior by their superior general or provincial.<br />A young naive boy from a different culture with a different language couldn't pick up all the red flags so obvious to us now.<br /><br />HumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
