Pope Benedict XVI has ordered an apostolic visitation of the Legionaries of Christ following acknowledgment by the order that its founder, Father Marcial Maciel, lived a double life (not least of which included fathering a child).

No word yet on the makeup of the team of bishops that performs the visitation, which the Legion says is expected to start "after Easter."
