Catholic Light has links to translations of a CNN interview (en espanol) with a lawyer representing Marciel Maciel's biological children. The lawyer asserts that John Paul II knew that Maciel had children, though he offers no proof.

Pete Vere also has an interesting post up about how the late Father Richard John Neuhaus, who had previously been a fierce and uncompromising apologist for Maciel and his movement, shifted toward a position of skepticism and even prophetic (if remarkably gentle) chastisement of the group before his death.

I recently heard that a college friend who had been studying years ago for the priesthood in an LC seminary, but was abruptly dismissed, without explanation (as often happened with LC seminarians), has recently become engaged to be married. Deo gratias and mazel tov! He had a very rough time of it after the LCs sent him down, but it has all worked out.

I wonder: should the Vatican suppress the Legionaries of Christ as a movement? Why or why not? Thoughts?
