Dominican website hosts material from Legionaries

The international Dominican Order website, which is run from Rome, is now hosting material, which is linked to the Legionaries of Christ.

The founder of the Legionaries of Christ is the notorious trickster Marcial Maciel Degollado.

In the 1970s in Rome, young men, members of the Legionaries of Christ, were strongly recommended to have as little as possible to do with Dominicans. Dominicans were considered to be a bad influence on the men, who dressed in identical clerical attire with matching briefcases.

In the 1990s a Kerryman journalist contacted the Legionaries of Christ in Dublin with a request to ask  detailed questions about Degollado. The request was turned down and the journalist was assured of the piety of the founder of the Legionaries.

Abuser and criminal are two words that come to mind.
