ExLC translates additional information from Sandro Magister. In addition to Bishops Urquidi, Chaput and Versaldi, there are two more bishops assigned to visit the Legion:

– Ricardo Ezzati Andrello, Archbishop of Concepcion, Chile, in charge of Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela, where the Legion has 20 houses, 122 priests and 122 religious seminarians;

– Ricardo Blazquez Perez, Bishop of Bilbao, Spain, in charge of Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Holland, Poland, Austria and Hungary, where the Legion has 20 houses, 105 priests, and 160 religious seminarians.

The investiture of the five visitors took place on Saturday morning, June 27th in the Vatican, at a meeting with Cardinals Tarcisio Bertone, William J. Levada, Franc Rode and Stanislaw Rylko. The five were give a letter containing the conclusions for the investigation of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith which lead to Maciel’s being sanctioned in 2006. Each prelate was given a travel budget of 10,000 Euros. They will give their first report to the Vatican in the autumn.

We count on the Holy Spirit to guide. We also note that this undercuts the Legion’s curious explanations about the timing and the “size” of the endeavor. Kindly keep these men in your prayers.
