(update - New York times has broken the news mainstream)
(copied from my facebook note)
Those of you who know me over the years, have perhaps known my hesitation towards supporting the Legion of Christ & to a lesser extent, Regnum Christi.
For some time now - I've been pretty upset that these organizations have lived with a continual denial of unanswered questions and secrets. Now a few more secrets have come to light - and it's pretty ugly stuff for a Catholic order.
I've known about some of these things for a long time. Suffice it to say - that even with the knowledge of these abuses (both public, and still hidden) I still converted to the one, true Faith.
And I could take this opportunity to say I told you so. But, I just can't.
You have in your orders some of the very best people I know. And I mean that. I have to remember that our faith lies with Christ and his Church, not in misguided sins of humanity.
For all my friends in those orders, and who work for them - I pray that you can stay and demand Truth as well as you have demanded excellence and charity so far.
God bless you all.
