Product Description
A Naive and Sentimental Dubliner in the Legion of Christ
From age 17 to 41 the author was a member of the Legion of Christ, a lesser known but important Catholic religious order. Led by its charismatic Mexican Spanish-speaking leader, Fr. Marcial Maciel, who would be praised and supported by the late pope John Paul II, the Legion of Christ and its lay branch, Regnum Christi (Christ's Kingdom) made deep inroads into the traditional Catholic communities of North and South America and Europe. This is the story of a member whose relevance may consist of being one of the very first eight Irish-born members during the foundation period, of quickly becoming bi-lingual and of knowing Fr. Maciel personally-locking horns with him on a few occasions- and of being one of the handful of members who ever verbalized doubt or criticism of the Legion while still inside.
Leaving this mind-controlling organization after more than 23 years was a devastating experience. But he is not the first or the last to leave and survive. Recovery and healing have followed those harrowing years and he is thankful to the kindness of friends and strangers. "Thank you" to them and to Life!
