Thanks, Mommy

MommyWritesIn his communique, Corcuera says: "For his own mysterious reasons, God chose Fr Maciel as an instrument to found the Legion of Christ and Regnum Christi, and we thank God for the good he did."
Ok. Yes, it is VERY hard to understand how God would choose Maciel as an instrument to found LC/RC. Even if you look at it from the perspective of taking care of Maciel, knowing that he had a particular vice (pedaphilia), why on earth would an all-knowing, loving God call him to a life where he would be constantly surrounded by young boys? It truly is mysterious....
Just like it's mysterious that God would call Madoff to start a financial company, or a flawed character like Margaret Sanger to start a charity organization.....
Of course, there is another possibility. Perhaps God DIDN'T choose Maciel to start LC/RC. Perhaps Maciel just started it on his own, as a convenient way to get victims and money.....
hmm.... why do I have the sudden urge to shave my legs?

Exactly!! The Legion keeps drumming on about being a work of God. Now, I do believe God works in the current structure of the legion. But to say that the Legion is a work of God, no way. As long as the legion of Christ exists in its current form it stands as a monument to Fr. Maciel. I too am 100% convinced he "founded" the Legion in 1941 to be around young boys to abuse. The Legion to Fr. Maciel was a means to his own ends.
