George Weigel regarding controversy

[eastcoast_bsc]

George Weigel, Biographer of JPII and staunch defender of the vatican, has ripped into the Catholic Church regarding the recent events:

Weigel ripped into the church's handling of the two scandals, involving the Holocaust-denying prelate, Bishop Richard Williamson, and the allegedly non-celibate and abusive founder of the Legion of Christ, the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado. Weigel called for an audit of the Legion of Christ.

Here is the piece from the Boston Globe : http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles_of_faith/2009/02/weigel_blasts_i.html


and the original piece where Priests from the Legion of Christ, come forward and give their statements regarding the former leader. It is both stunning and sad.
