People in positions of authority had to know

If it was clear to me living in Rome in 1975 that there was something amiss with the Legionaries of Christ and their behaviour, then it is baffling how people in positions of authority did not know about the congregation and its leader/founder.

It really cannot be possible that people close to Maciel did not know that he and his behaviour was a spoof.

And how can the Legionaries of Christ with an ethos of spoof and nonsense and weird sexuality be allowed exist within the framework of the church today?

And what is profoundly sad is that their 'ethos' is in the ascendancy within clerical institutions.
