“Legion Of Christ” founder turns out to be a paedophile

Yet another Catholic leader turns out to be a paedophile – Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado. The only problem is that he’s dead and he escaped punishment. He also apparently had an affair with a woman, fathered her child, and misused funds.

Maciel was the founder of the Catholic congregation called the "Legion Of Christ", which claims to have 70,000 members.

The Independent has a length article on him.
