Spain's LC Director "Sets the Record Straight" re Maciel's Death



Fr. Jesus Maria Delgado, Territorial Director, Spain


For some time a version of the events surrounding Fr. Maciel's death, attributed to Vicar General, Luis Garza in a secret conference to the members,  has circulated. Now, in response to this version in El Mundo the Spanish blog, Legion Regional Director for Spain, Jesus Ma Delgado has written to the editor.

Fr. Jesus Maria gives a detailed rebuttal to an article which appeared in El Mundo. It seems to offer an explanation to the mysterious fire that Luis Garza mentions in his secretly recorded meeting....to members of the Regnum Christi Consecrated members.
JM says that Maciel died in Jacksonville and that there were only two consecrated women, some LCs and two local nurses present. He also says that Maciel received the sacraments on various occasions. Does this tally with what Luis Garza said about Maciel's death - that he didn't receive confession and Alvaro gave him the sacrament when he was in a coma, that they asked Maciel's "wife" to encourage him to have confession?
Who knows what to believe anymore!

On 4/19/10 the blogger found and English language report on Spero News [CNA] which explains Fr. Delgado's peeves; it appears there was some sloppy reporting mixing fact and fiction and the LC Spanish Territorial Director takes the writers to task. Perhaps rightly so.
