ROME -- Pope Benedict XVI recently appointed five bishops from as many countries to investigate the Legionaries of Christ, a religious order founded in 1941 by the late Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado, a Mexican priest who is accused of sexually abusing young seminarians, and who left a grown daughter who was born out-of-wedlock.

Cults don't like competition either!

The veneer of 'respectability' has worn off.
The jig is up fellers. We know what you are. That is why the flock is fleeing.

This is too rich. The Cult investigates an alleged cult.

Shhhhhhhhhhh, in reference to OPUS DEI. Just kidding!!!

Oh yes, and they need to show us what is hidden in the Vatican Archives.

In there is hidden the answer to what religion really is or is not. They know that millions of us are aware that one does not have to go through them to reach or communicate with the creator.

Oops. While they're at it, they're going to have to re-excommunicate the Society of St. Pius X for some of their very un-Christian sentiments.

Bah!

Well at least the Vatican knows all about cults and sex abuse. A bit like asking the Mafia to investigate Bernie Madoff but hey, somebodies got to do it.

In the Catholic Church one need only found an order to be made a saint. Nothing will come from this and the founder will be canonized.
