	Pope Meets with Head of Scandal-Tainted Legion By Associated Press, carried in Atlanta Journal-Constitution June 17, 2010 http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/pope-meets-with-head-551132.html VATICAN CITY — The pope has met with the head of the Legionaries of Christ ahead of an expected announcement about who will take charge of the conservative order scarred by revelations that its late founder sexually abused seminarians and fathered a child. The Vatican said the Rev. Alvaro Corcuera Martinez del Rio met with Pope Benedict XVI in a private audience Thursday. The Vatican announced May 1 that the pope had decided to appoint a delegate to take charge of the Legion after an eight-month investigation showed that it needed to be profoundly re-evaluated and purified to survive. It's not clear what role Corcuera will have in the Legionaries' future. Critics say he must have known of the double life of the Legionaries' founder the Rev. Marciel Maciel.
