History with Vatican
Called to accompany Pope John Paul II on his visits to Mexico in 1979, 1990, and 1993, Maciel was also 
  • appointed by the Pope to the Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the Formation of Priests in Circumstances of the Present Day (1990). 
  • He was a member of the Interdicasterial Commission for a Just Distribution of Clergy (1991), 
  • the IV General Conference of Latin American Bishops (CELAM) (1992), the  
  • Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the Consecrated Life and Its Role in the Church and in the World (1994), the  
  • Synod of Bishops' Special Assembly for America (1997) and (since 1994) a permanent consultant to the Congregation for the Clergy
  • The golden anniversary of his priestly ordination was celebrated on 26 November 1994, with 57 Legionary priests ordained on the anniversary's eve. 
  • Maciel served as Chancellor of the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, which is based in Rome.  
  • Maciel collaborated extensively with the pope, either in person or through members of his organization, the Legion of Christ. 
  • Pope John Paul II admired Maciel for strictly adhering to the magisterium and the vocations to the Legion of Christ. 
  •  He received many donations from Mexico's richest.[25] Maciel and the Legion gave the Vatican money, and some claim[who?] that for years, this kept the Church from acting over allegations of sex abuse by Maciel
