I HAVE THREE QUESTIONS:

1-WHAT IS THE LATEST ABOUT THE MARCIAL MACIEL "SCANDAL"? 2-DID FR. MACIEL HAVE SOMETHING TO DO IN ESTABLISHING RELATIONS BE- TWEEN MEXICO AND THE HOLY SEE? 3-IS MEXICAN EXPRESIDENT CARLOS SALINAS DE GORTARI, AT PRESENT IN DUBLIN, IRELAND, IN GOOD STANDING WITH THE LEGIONNAIRES?

To whoever posted the previous message: Mr. Diaz often borrows my computer, but on this occasion he refuses to answer an anonimous message, and so do I.

Stranely I never did see this comment until now. Hopefully you are still online!!!

1. The latest on the Maciel scandal is that the Vatican is still not doing anything about it. They claim to have investigate similar charges 50 years ago but won't show us the proof of that and neither will they investigate these new charges. I think the Vatican want this to dissappear.

2. Given Maciel's political connections in Mexico I wouldn't be suprised if this were true.

3. I have heard a similar story. You know that the legion has millions of dollars worth of property in Dublin Ireland. They could easily have had him stay at one of their many Dublin homes.

Moderator,

This helps you to see how our poor little forum is forced to suffer.

I just came to the "Recent Answers" page and was surprised to see the very large number of threads with today's date on them. On closer inspection, though, I saw what was wrong. One of the forum's former "personae non gratae" (James Xwing) came back today to trash SEVEN -- count 'em, SEVEN -- old threads related to the Legionaries of Christ.

By the way, some, if not all of these threads, were illegitimately started to begin with. Prior to the coming of those who live for no reason other than to bash tribunals, the forum had an infestation of those who live for no reason other than to bash the Legionaries.

So, no sooner does the forum begin to benefit by the banning (or voluntary departure) of some trouble-makers, than others come along to take their place and disrupt the peace that wanted to take root.

God bless you.
John
