Ed Peter's analysis has a fatal flaw. He presupposes that LC's are normal priests.
They are badly abused, manipulated cult members, formed by Maciel. The higher the
ranking, the worse the deformation. Precisely the ones who would want to stay are
the ones most likely to be problematic, either because of their corruption or their
total identification as "true believers" in the Legion. The good ones will leave,
except for perhaps the most naive. For this reason, I believe it MUST be suppressed.
The deformation has gone on too long, too intensely. They just found out a core belief,
that Maciel was a saint (maintained even in the face of B16's actions), was a total
lie, a fraud of the greatest magnitude. ALL the members need to be sent home for
healing, recovery, and probably a good therapist. To propose 'putting them back to work'
after so much trama, is to inflict further damage on them, and to risk the recreation
of the same cult under a new name.

To quote Ed "But everything that came from Maciel must be chucked. Absolutely everything." I agree 100%, but logically, and in actual truth, this means all the members. Every last one. They are totally immersed in Maciel, in his creation. None of them has the wisdom to discern good from bad, true from false, in terms of what is legitimate religious life, and what is not. If they did, they would have left already. The game is over. Send them home, give them a medal for doing their best. Encourage them to continue serving Christ and the Church. Put them in another foundation? No way, that's insane. Furthermore, even in their mind the LC "is the best, the greatest" for many "the only" (cult thinking). Anything less, for them, is a step down. They need psychological help, badly. I cannot emphasize this enough. The image of this great, wonderful priestly group (that just happened to have an evil founder) and can go on being great, is a bigger ILLUSION than Maciel himself, and far more harmful.

The sheer evil is incredibly mind-boggling. What a completely brilliant EVIL child-molester. You know what they say when they talk about child molesters...they try their hardest to be near children: they try getting jobs at skating rinks, day care centers, etc.

I can't even imagine the amount of patience & evilness of MM. What better way to lure children in.... not only start his own private seminary, but start a religious woman's group to get even closer to not only the children, but the women, too. Make the women think they're becoming holy & get their kids from them.
