A Roman Vacation paid for by your donations to the Legion.
The never ending saga of the Legion of Christ and their disgraced founder, Marcial Maciel. Can it get any weirder? This blog is for your comments. If you wish to send a suggestion for a new posting, please email landoncody6@gmail.com.

The Legion of Christ is a Congregation of Priests and Seminarians in the Catholic Church. Through controversy, they "soldier" on (so far), and I, an ex member, bring themes to this blog for varied opinions and comments from all.

I dare Kearns to deny this. I heard him say this with my own ears.
So how many hairs on the top of a Legionary's head must remain for him to be required to continue the gelled comb over? Is there some kind of guidance for that? Maybe they need a norm!
Actually, there is a norm for it.
My superior also told me the smae thing. He also told me that he and the other superior were now my father and mother and that I should forget about my family!
Miles Jesu is exactly the same as the Legion.
