I read about 6 of the articles and found nothing that could move me off my stated position. I found some items that I am interested in pursuing further and a couple of mentions that,given my world view,make me think that the Legionairies were an order that were very vulnerable to false accusations,ditto for Opus Dei.
I will agree that as an American,I do cringe a little at what appears to be more than a "nudge" in the recruitment process. Thanks for the link.

...they often cross the line (in my opinion as well as dozens of other orthodox Catholics I have spoken with who ceased all association with them) using psychological manipulation and coercing many into "vocations" who find out, many times too late, that they never really had a vocation to the Legionaries or the priesthood, and that it certainly was NOT from God. snip ...They violate parent rights....
So true. They call and not identify themselves and try and talk to young inpressionalbe girls. They told her daughter not to tell her parents they call!!! My friend finally told them not to dare call her daughter ever again.
WHat kind of orthodox group says that!?
What ever happened to Honor thy father and mother?
I hosted a weekly girls group here in my home. Strange!

"The walls of hell are lined with the skulls of bishops." Saint John of the CrossWalls? Their skulls are good enough for walls? I thought it was the streets of hell were paved with the skulls of bishops :-)?

Don't you wonder just why, what made him have this axe to grind? There must be a reason.
