(Legion of Christ Fr.) John O’Reilly: “I am a ‘Dead Man Walking”’
Irishman John O'Reilly for years has been the face of the Legion of Christ in Chile and is one of the main reasons that the movement has been so successful among the business and political elite. (Fr. John) O'Reilly is living the worst moment of his life: a lawyer from the Cumbres Institute is accusing him of sexually abusing her daughter. The priest defends himself and made his statement before the Prosecutor last week. In this interview he talks about death, Maciel and his case.

El cura se defiende y recién declaró ante la Fiscalía la semana pasada. En esta entrevista habla de la muerte, de Marcial Maciel y su caso.
