Wow, I didn’t know much about the founder of the owner of NCR.
Quite a scandal there.

“The late Pope John Paul II supported Maciel, but on becoming pope, Pope Benedict XVI removed Maciel from active ministry, ordering him to spend the rest of his days in prayer and penance.”

Whoa!

Yeah, Benedict XVI has appointed a receiver to take over the Legionaries to see if there's any good that can be salvaged from the disaster.

It's a shame. Maciel fooled a lot of people (including JPII) and just about doomed his order, which has done a lot of good. They have done a fabulous job running our local Catholic school. I hope that BXVI is able to save some of the good priests in the order.
