When I was younger, I discerned if I had a vocation and visited the LC for a few hours. Something didn't sit quite right with me, so I didn't join them an opted for a Franciscan order instead. At any rate. I hope that whatever the problem was, it got straightened out. <br />Sean<br />www.CatholicGuestSpeaker.com<br />www.McVeighMinistries.comSean McVeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795729678210855738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498854344598192644.post-12496011076663002932008-06-18T11:37:00.000-04:002008-06-18T11:37:00.000-04:00at least in name.

The fact is, there are all kind of special arrangements made, with or without consent of the priest concerned - ask Fr VM in Holland or Fr TH in Australia. The fact that he resides in a rectory with no accompaniment is highly unusual. Maybe he said something (like "Hey maybe we should look at what is wrong with ourselves as an organization") that got him ostracized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498854344598192644.post-48325783887140134242008-06-18T11:03:00.000-04:002008-06-18T11:03:00.000-04:00He (Fr.

At root of the LC is an almost schizophrenic split, and every true LC feels it:<BR/><BR/>1) <B>I am the Legion</B>, and the whole thing hangs on me, persevering in molding myself to the personality of the founder.<BR/><BR/>and<BR/><BR/>2) <B>I am not the Legion</B>, and I cannot act spontaneously or question in the least the traditions, habits and structures of the Legion without betraying her founder on a very personal level.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The question is, what is it to be authentic? What is identity in the religious life?<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, the Legion cannot ever bring itself to face the question, "Was there any truth to the allegations?" Never ever. That is an electric third rail that they won't ever touch.<BR/><BR/>Why? Immaturity? Insecurity?
