"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...
