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.
desde hace tanto tiempo había querido que un psicólogo leyera y analizara mis memorias donde detallé mi vida, incluyendo mis veintitres anyos en la congregación religiosa católica de la Legión de Cristo/Federación Regnum Christi.
Queridos Lectores,
desde hace tanto tiempo había querido que un psicólogo leyera y analizara mis memorias donde detallé mi vida, incluyendo mis veintitres años en la congregación religiosa católica de la Legión de Cristo/Federación Regnum Christi.
Un diálogo con el psicólogo José Fernandez, autor de Las Relaciones Respetuosas, Auténticas y Libres propiciado por la International Cultic Studies Association, cumplió mi deseo.
Hace 2 años el tribunal eclesiástico dictó sentencia contra el Depredador legionario Antonio Rodríguez Sánchez.
Por esa época publicábamos la foto de una clase pública en el Ajusco donde estaban Antonio junto con Fernando Tamayo y José María Sabín. Tanto Antonio como José María rectores en la apostólica y ambos con acusaciones de abuso sexual.
Después de la sentencia, ARS tiene por derecho la posibilidad de apelar, cosa que hizo no una, sino dos veces. Al final las apelaciones no procedieron y la sentencia permanece. El periodo de la última apelación concluyó hace pocos meses.
La Congregación de Maciel no ha dado a conocer esta información ni la de otros procesos, sino que oscurece las cosas para cuidar su imagen.
El Pederasta Legionario de Cristo/Regnum Christi: sacerdote ordenado Antonio Rodríguez Sánchez
Delitos Graves contra el Sexto Mandamiento (pecados sexuales) con Menores” -¡por si se pierde la claridad con los latinajos!

< Hace 2 años el tribunal eclesiástico dictó sentencia contra el Depredador legionario Antonio Rodríguez Sánchez.
Por esa época publicábamos la foto de una clase pública en el Ajusco donde estaban Antonio junto con Fernando Tamayo y José María Sabín. Tanto Antonio como José María rectores en la apostólica y ambos con acusaciones de abuso sexual.
Después de la sentencia, ARS tiene por derecho la posibilidad de apelar, cosa que hizo no una, sino dos veces. Al final las apelaciones no procedieron y la sentencia permanece. El periodo de la última apelación concluyó hace pocos meses.
La Congregación de Maciel no ha dado a conocer esta información ni la de otros procesos, sino que oscurece las cosas para cuidar su imagen. Con ello sigue dañando el tejido social y a la Iglesia porque impide que las víctimas conocidas avancen en su proceso de sanación y otras víctimas desconocidas puedan animarse a buscar reparación.
Antonio Rodríguez mencionó durante el proceso algunos nombres, las víctimas que recordaba. La Congregación no ha contactado a todos los adolescentes que estuvieron en contacto con el depredador, sea en el Ajusco, sea en Salamanca. Al menos no declara que han contactado a todos los posibles afectados, como hizo el Superior de los Consagrados, Félix Gómez Rueda mintiendo sobre el caso Amezcua.
El tribunal dictó sentencia… ¿y las víctimas? ¿Qué ha hecho la Congregación con aquellas personas de las que consta con certeza moral que hubo abuso por parte del depredador Antonio?
La Congregación ha intentado contactar a las víctimas que Antonio mencionó por nombre, con la intención de apoyarlas siempre que se sometan a sus estándares. Sin embargo esos estándares implican someterse a un comité evaluador, hacer un estudio socioeconómico de la víctima y canalizar en la medida de lo posible la reparación a través de Eshmá.
Algunos de los “encargados” de trato con las víctimas tienen trato y al parecer buenas intenciones, otros hacen sentir a la víctima que es su culpa.
Ojo, esto lo hacen ya los seglares contratados para el “trato con víctimas” a fin de exponer menos a los legionarios…
En el caso de la mayoría de las víctimas de Antonio Rodríguez, el tema corresponde al DT de México, sí el tristemente célebre Alberto Simán, el que dice que a él no le toca y de él no depende.
¿Por qué sigue la Legión ocultando los procesos en favor de las víctimas y de justicia contra los abusadores?
¿Será capaz la Congregación de sentarse a la mesa con víctimas sexuales de la apostólica del Ajusco?>
THE MYSTICAL PEDOPHILE: Fr. Marcial Maciel, Founder of the Legion of Christ, morphed into Regnum Christi Federation
April 1st, 2024
My wife keeps telling me to forget about Fr. Maciel and the Legionaries of Christ. But I can’t . When you are a former Legionary and have lived with Fr. Maciel certain images and experiences stay in your mind. Not that I lived with him. But he was alive all the time I was a member of the Legionaries of Christ, 1961-1984; Maciel’s age was 41-64; so he was fully functioning -if that’s what we want to call it- all those twenty-three years. I was never one of his favorites or one of his inner circle. They keep asking me what I knew about his pedophilic abuse of his seminarians. The answer is simple: nothing. That circle of sexual abuse was hermetically sealed by the predator; the victims were sworn never to talk about it among themselves. They never discussed it until after they left the Legion -and were free from his mental control.
I only learned about such things later -after I had left the Legion! José Barba outreached me one day out of the blue when I was at the rectory of St. Matthew’s cathedral in Washington DC, circa 1987, ten years before Berry and Renner let the cat out of the bag in the Hartford Courant.
I wonder now whether we former Legionaries are suffering from secondary PTSD when we look back on our then innocent experiences and realize what was going on behind the scenes:
We remember being privileged to participate in the Holy Mass celebrated by our holy founder in Salamanca and Rome. We, the true Holy Innocents, watched Fr. Maciel’s measured movements as the master of ceremonies led him through the various stages of the ritual. And how Fr. Maciel would show so much devotion at the consecration of the host. How he would hold it up in his pale hands above his head for all to adore, remaining a minute or more in that posture as he stared at the Host in mystical rapture.
We didn’t know that with those same hands, in the sacristy before Mass, he might have fondled an altar boy, one of his seminarian “sons”, to the point of orgasm.

I now wonder whether we former Legionaries suffer from secondary PTSD when we look back on our then innocent experiences and realize what was going on behind the scenes:
We recall being privileged to participate in the Holy Mass celebrated by our holy founder in the order’s private chapels in Salamanca and Rome. We, the true Holy Innocents, watched Fr. Maciel’s measured movements as the master of ceremonies led him through the various stages of the ritual -with which he was not overly familiar!. And how Fr. Maciel would show so much devotion at the consecration of the host.
