Pius XII considered removing Fr. Maciel, Founder of Legion of Christ and Regnum Christi, from the Priesthood -and more Vatican failed interventions

On July 21, 2024 the following news item was covered by most of the important media outlets worldwide

Associated Press:

Vatican’s Pius XII archives shed light on another contentious chapter: The Legion of Christ Scandal.

Read for yourself about the Vatican’s 1956-58 intervention of Fr. Marcial Maciel, founder of the then Legionaries of Christ, morphed in the past few years into Regnum Christi Movement, in an effort to distance the founder from the order and movement he created. The most recent Vatican intervention, headed by then Mons. De Paolis concluded in the same murky waters of failure: he, the Apostolic Administrator, failed to clean house, making nice with the LC leadership cadre instead of ceasing them from their posts as recommended St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguouri whom I quoted in my 2020 book:

For the Catholic, Christian or thinking person these failed Vatican interventions (1956-58; 2000-2005) cry out to heaven for truth and justice.

We are calling on Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life, right-hand man to Pope Francis,

a Legionary of Christ from circa 1965-83, and a collaborator of Fr. Marcial Maciel ,

to do the right thing and intervene this Order and Movement he has suffered and knows so well.
