Heading to Dublin March 9, 2012

                                  The blogger throwing coins into Anna Liffey -Oops, the Trevi Fountain!

The blogger returns home in a week or so to give a talk on Undue Influence, High Demand Groups, Sect, and Cults: the Legion of Christ Experience at Trinity College [Mon 12 at 7pm]
The first few days I will be in Dublin, available to chat with any former Legionaries, relatives, or friends who want to say Hello.
It is also a return to the family, to sisters, nieces and nephews, and grand nieces and nephews, spouses and kids. There are lot to take in.

I learn that Fr. Raymond Cosgrave, LC, is still doing his job as Legion troubleshooter, damage control expert, cajoler and threatener. In this he appears to be an example of a Legionary who has really assimilated the "Spirit of the Founder" in the worse sense of the word. May God forgive him.
