Baltimore's Archbishop Edwin O'Brien on Father Marcial Maciel Degollado of the Legionaries of Christ.


Adapted from: The Catholic World Report, July 2009. Quoted at the very beginning of R. Michael Dunnigan's article "The Double Life and the Undivided Heart."

Archbishop O'Brien's succinct analysis:

"[Maciel] was a man with an entrepreneurial genius who, by systematic deception and duplicity, used our faith to manipulate others for his own selfish ends."


Well said, your excellency! :)
