An open letter
Again a former priest of the Legionäre of Christ has to have been stated, as a young person of Pater Marcial Maciel have been abused.
Pater Marcial Maciel
Pater Marcial Maciel
(kreuz.net) Francisco Gonzalez Parga was twenty years as seminarist and a priest member of the Legionäre of Christ.

On 6 July - that 40. Anniversary of its priest-dedicates - it published El Informador' an open letter in the Mexican daily paper `.

Gonzalez Parga was dedicated on 6 July 1966 by Pope Paul VI. in the St. Peter's Basilica to the priest.

The Legionäre entrusted to it different tasks. Like that it was responsible for the newentering - Postulanten - in Spain. He worked as deputy Novizenmeister in Ireland, as Studienpräfekt for the Roman Kolleg of the Kongregation as well as to the vatikanischen Bischofskongregation.

Finally Gonzales Parga left the medal community and the Priestertum. The reason were problems of physical and psychological nature.

In the letter the ex priest explains to have been sexually abused, of Pater Maciel as a young person „in deceitful kind and deliberately “.

This very day suffer he from the damage, which he suffered by the encroachments of the medal founder.

„However that is only my history. What is with the hundreds or more cases, which were reported to the holy chair under oath? I Pater Maciel assigned and hope that God illuminates him and helps it to recognize the weight of its sin which he committed against its juvenile victims and their families, against the community and against the Legionäre of Christ, which remained faithful the Kongregation in the good faith. “

Which passed Gonzalez Parga on at the beginning of of July to the public, might not have been new the Vatikan.

The ex priest was one of the alleged abuse victims, at the beginning of of April 2005 of the Glaubenskongregation was belonged.

It complains Pater Maciel publicly on, because there would be so many, which wanted not to accept the truth and „the truth by unfairness “obstructed.

Pope Benedikt XVI. would not have the drastic step to suspend Pater Maciel from all public functions to set, sufficient proof would not have been present against the medal founder - so the ex priest in its letter.

Despite dishonor, which has itself the measure of the church, for which person of Johannes Paul II., the person of the present Pope as well as the reliability of the Legionäre of Christ and the movement Regnum of Christ can bring in, Benedikt XVI. to this measure decided.

Also economic, political and social advantages, which would bring in the Legionäre of Christ and the combination Regnum of Christ for the holy chair, should be considered in this connection - so the letter writer.

Gonzalez Parga believes that these advantages are the reason, why Pater Maciels for its offenses so mild was punished.

Alfredo Ottaviani: I actually meant…
… if one conclusive proofs for its debt has, then he is to be accused and a process to be led, which ends with an executory judgement.

… if one conclusive proofs does not have, then one is to be silent and to ruin not the good reputation of P. Maciel by groundless talking and Schreibereien. Then it has the right to its good reputation!!!

Either process (with debt) or are silent (with innocence)!

Abu: @ Athanasius & turk
I am not for hushing up.
I am also not for mercy against truth.

Only: From the announcement of the Hl. Chair it does not come out for me whether now is really proven to something. It seems to me rather in such a way, as if one would say: The public prosecutor's office means to have proofs. We could open the procedure. But the accused is too old. It is not completely clean. Thus pay for he.

It is already partly correct, which you say to Athanasius. But Maciel actually pays for also. But for which exactly, only he knows. For us he is only then a violater or a Homo or which white I, if it is proven. In addition it will probably not more come.

Thus no more remains for me the question, which it would have to actually be or whether a anyway does not belong anyway hired, but: How is the situation now? What comes under line thereby raus?

Athanasius: @ABu.
P. Maciel was of the child generation of pursuit, not a clergyman under this pursuit.

„Today it is above all barmherzig. “

Opposite child and Burschenschändern one must stand not barmherzig but militantly opposite. If Maciel is guilty, he must pay for also at the high age.

If against the founder the whole Legionäre of Christ dissolves a complaint or it would broken-make that meant that the LC operated a too strong Personality Cult.

One recognizes the tree by its fruits.

turk: No, hushing up is not possible any longer
Abu, your question is wrong. For the recuperation and keeping of the reliability of church Verkündigung it is no longer possible to hush up in old style all possible scandals. The truth identification must be always always from there basis of whatever disziplinär barmherzigen decision. Whereupon all are a right, on this truth identification. It is a nonsense to formulate Möchtegern Vertu in the sense that: „We will never know it.

The Holy See acted nevertheless clearly, so that it became also clear that we essentially know it „“may, because it examined and recognized Rome: http://www.kreuz.net/article.3228.html

Abu: What is better?
I feel history around the founder of the Legionäre as disturbing. A man, who comes from catholic pursuit into Mexico and a so promising medal creates and develops -- and now that.

Is it better to be safe whether these stories are true, or is better the current situation? The perhaps latters. It contains still another last glow the doubt whether it really like that was. A judgement would be clearly, exculpatory for many, but the LC could broken-make.

Stated, know that. Does that say somewhat about its motivation? Who knows these people? What do they make today? Did they only the LC or also the church leave? Did they go in the controversy? Do those know each other?

One says, Nazi criminals also still with 100 was accused. Yes, but nevertheless because they are mass murderer, war criminal! Which offenses of justitiabler kind does one charge P.Maciel exactly? Were Bur how old? Was force in the play, extortion, drugs or was it simply its authority, would perhaps creep, how the author writes?

We will never know it. Because if it happened as in the world (and if the reproaches are not barred by statute of limitations after their yardsticks), then no simple statement would be sufficient on oath instead of, then one would cross-examine: place over weeks always again the same questions, again and again details call up, until one knows whether one lies.

The church has once the truth identification to the law practice introduced (Inquisition), today is above all barmherzig it.

virOblationis: Agreement and proposal
Badly to enough, if the loading statements are present since so long time, but now one should the greisen founder of the Legionäre really not more before court place, but him opportunity give to prepare for that it will have soon before a higher judge account placing. - To that extent I find the procedure of Rome much point.

If one wants to pursue misdemeanours of such kind, it gives certainly sufficient candidates, whose age less cause for the indulgence gives.
