Creative "Mexican - Culture Bashing?" :)

Former Legionaries of Christ priest, Father Richard Gill.

Tells ITV's Sandro Magister, in the March 2011 edition:


"The Legion recently began to install in all computers very aggressive industrial spy ware to monitor all email and internet traffic of the membership..."

Then, going back a ways, we're more or less told that it's time to blame most everything that went wrong with Fr. Maciel's original Legion on Mexican culture, huh?! :)

"However, the tragic blunders and deception in dealing with the scandal expose the fact that the largely Mexican leadership was much less concerned with getting to the facts, exposing them to the light, letting the truth be known plainly and dealing with the consequences.

"Latinos tend to be more tolerant of misconduct, corruption, and dishonesty...

"And it is now clear they did not feel the members of the congregation actually had a right to know the truth about the founder's lifestyle and kept it hidden.

"While Maciel was in power, it was considered simply a byproduct of a strictly hierarchical order, but now it rubs many as a gross form of paternalism.."


Problem!


We are told that Fr. "Richard Gill [was] for 29 years a priest of the Legionaries of Christ and a long time director of Regnum Christi in the United States..."

Oh, really? Yet for close to the last 10 of those 29 years, the Mexican press had been tireless in digging up all sorts of unsavory facts, figures and rumors about Fr. Maciel.

And if that's not enough, we're told, too, that only: "Approximately 70 priests of over 800 have abandoned the congregation... "

Twenty - nine years a priest loyal to Father Maciel, and Fr. Richard Gill never wavered?

Much less ever listened?

Much less ever cared to hear in the first place?

My, my, MY! :)
