the title of a memoir written IN SPANISH by Francisco Gonzalez Parga, another early member of Fr. Maciel's Harem....He had a relationship with Holy Founder from the age of 14 to about 26...
He was in the Legion from 1951 til 1971
If you speak Spanish be on the outlook for it to appear on Amazon.
Hope to post some excerpts.
OUR FATHER MACIEL, WHO ART IN BED - the book - "I have rarely encountered such a fair, balanced and honest response to religious abuse and the perpetrator of such a wicked attack on the human spirit. Lennon's memoir of his years with the LCs is not only 'all that' but, through the use of song lyrics, Hesse's novel SIDDHARTHA, his account is both lyrical and emotionally compelling."

Pope Fallible on Maciel
[From Pope's new book]
"Benedict also discusses the case of Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado, the
late founder of the Legionaries of Christ. Maciel was a longtime Vatican
favorite because of his doctrinal conservatism and penchant for generating
vocations, but who has how become a symbol of the crisis as the Legionaries have
acknowledged he was guilty of various forms of sexual misconduct.
Benedict refers to Maciel a “mysterious figure,” saying that he led an
“adventurous, wasted, twisted life.” At another point, the pope refers to
Maciel as a “false prophet.”
At the same time, Benedict says that the order Maciel founded is “by and
largely sound.”"
Blogger say:
Pope not infallible re LC/RC; pope logic failing him: how can a false
prophet found a work of God? -or maybe I need to refresh my biblical studies...
