Documentary on Maciel lifts curtain on Legion, Vatican judicial system
Posted on Apr 28, 2008 08:34am CST.By TOM ROBERTS
The case of Fr. Marciel Maciel Degollado, founder of the controversial order of priests known as the Legionaries of Christ, occupies a sadly distinctive place in the long history of clergy sex abuse in the Catholic church. A new documentary by Jason Berry, “Vows of Silence,” details the arduous path victims faced in bringing Maciel’s abuse to the Vatican’s attention.

Refuse to fall down.
If you cannot refuse to fall down,
refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down,
lift your heart toward heaven,
and like a hungry beggar,
ask that it be filled,
and it will be filled.
You may be pushed down.
You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting
your heart toward heaven -- only you.
It is in the midst of misery
that so much becomes clear.
The one who says
nothing good came of this,
is not yet listening.
What do we owe to our kith and kin who have been injured by those who professed holiness, but who acted in egregiously unholy ways instead?
