Last Days of Marcial Maciel

  • I knew a seminarian at Winona who had left the Legion of Christ.  He described their "formation" and it definitely seemed cult-like in many ways (which I won't describe since it might reflect on the person of this seminarian).  In any case, he left Winona and returned to the Legion.  I wonder what eventually happened to him.

    In any case, this account of the last days and hours of Father Maciel is very disturbing.  I think it's important though vis-a-vis understanding cults and pederasty.

  • Interesting and rather poetic blog.  Malachi Martin said that many of the independent groups were cult-like and he was right about that one.

    What an amazing con Maciel was!

  • I was wondering why you would write about the last days of a mime, Ladislaus, until I opened the thread.
    Readers: Please IGNORE all my postings here. I was a recent convert and fell into errors, even heresy for which hopefully my ignorance excuses. These include rejecting the "rhythm method," rejecting the idea of "implicit faith," and being brieflfy quasi-Jansenist. I also posted occasions of sins and links to occasions of sin, not understanding the concept much at the time, so do not follow my links.

  • That blog has somewhat interesting links to help former cult members.
