Haliography at it's smarmy best,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Legion of Christ: A History (Paperback)
This reads like a Lives of the Saints tale, but as we know it's hero was no saint. It makes me wonder what all those smarmy tales of Mother Therese and John Paul II aren't as riddled with rose tinted platitudes. I think this book proves the Roman Catholic Church should wait 100 years before it announces pietic certitude on it's rather flawed and sometimes very sinful members. Oh, and yes, maybe if something looks too good to be true, it is too good to be true. These goody two shoes prove that such pietic smarminess is a waisted life covering up someone's greed and lust for fame. If one reads the tales of ex-Legionaires one sees that the gift Marciel Maciel had was duping piously unsophiaticated parents and children into his insideous greed for reverence and esteem by powerful ecclesiastics. His rather duplicitous hidden life is couched as frailness and super business in making the Legionaires into an institute of renown and now infamous problematic success story.
