How a Priest, Grooms and Sexually Abuses Young Women amid Church and Police Collusion in USA

This disturbing article appeared recently on Huffington Post

It describes abuses that happened at a girls Catholic High School in Baltimore. But this could have happened anywhere and has happened elsewhere.

 This long and painful article helps understand the kind of things Fr. Maciel did for decades, inside and outside the Legion, especially with adolescent males...It also helps to understand how Church authorities 'do not want to be bothered' by this subject and tend to dismiss accusations and "protect their own"

The reader can grasp some of the fear and confusion experienced by Maciel's victims: "He is a priest. He is a saint. We are helping him with is illness....If we don't comply we will have to leave the seminary, we will never be ordained, never reach our goal...We are depraved. We like this. We are gay. We cannot get married....."


The malice and depravity of the priest is hard to digest. But we must remembered that we are talking seriously disturbed people who have a charming exterior; they are charming psychopaths, skilled manipulators and controllers who "get away with murder"
