Regnum Christi-Part 2


Some things in this testimony reminds me of things that happened at the Wakefield, RI formation center--the showmanship when visitors/potential benefactors arrived. It is sad that many of us are experiencing the 'don't ask, don't tell' way of handling things by family and friends who are either in RC or sympathetic to it. I have been told, "Well, I wouldn't have met my husband if it weren't for Fr. Maciel." Why wouldn't that have happened? If God wanted someone to marry one's spouse, He had it in His divine plan.

There has been much 'non-discussion'' by some members about Maciel's debauchery and making excuses for the actions of the leaders of the movement in how they have (mis)handled the situation. It seems reasonable that stepping back for a moment or two from the Movement would be healthy. There is nothing in the movement that is not found within our Catholic Faith.

Changes must be made in this group. Otherwise, it becomes more and more like an elitist club on the edge of a cult, something I never thought I'd be saying. Maciel is the big white pedophile in the room--get him out and fix this broken thing.

It will be interesting to see what takes place with this investigation going on. I do think answers need to be given and time has taken too long!! I feel for all those suffering...but like you said, the faith and catholic church hasn't changed.....embrace that!!!
