'Vows of Silence' authors make their case against John Paul II By Kevin Cullen, Globe Staff 8/24/04 "In 1941, an ambitious Mexican priest named Marcial Maciel founded a traditionalist religious order called the Legion of Christ. Since then, Maciel has built the order into an international presence in the Catholic Church, boasting 2,500 seminarians and 600 priests across five continents, including 400 seminarians and 90 priests in the United States alone. Yet there is compelling evidence, outlined in the book "Vows of Silence," that Maciel may have sexually abused many boys who entered the order as children. Several of his victims say that Maciel told them Pope Pius XII had given him a special dispensation to engage in sex to relieve chronic pain. The authors, Jason Berry, a journalistic pioneer who exposed sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests in the 1980s, and Gerald Renner, the former religion writer for The Hartford Courant, make a strong case that Maciel was a serial predator who should have been cast aside long ago but who remained immune to credible accusations because of his clout inside the Vatican of Pope John Paul II." http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2004/08/24/vows_of_silence_authors_make_their_case_against_john_paul_ii/ www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
