Legionary style spreads to orders and dioceses

The behaviour of the Legionaries of Christ, their style, wealth and an over emphasis on conservative thinking needs to be properly investigated in the light of the revelations about its founder. Why was the man not handed over to State authorities?

But what is the phenomenon of the Legionaries of Christ is now spreading to religious orders and dioceses. Unfortunately bishops and religious superiors are turning a blind eye to it. And just as the Legionaries in the past attracted large numbers joining their ranks, exactly the same reality is now being experienced throughout the church.

It is going to prove a great disaster. Bishops and religious superiors because of their ineptitude and simple laziness are doing nothing to stop the trend.
