News breaking on Friday?

The National Catholic "Distorter" reported today (click on this post's title) that the Vatican is expected to issue a statement "shortly" -- the AP is now saying it will be on Friday -- about the status of Father Marcial Maciel D., the founder of the Legionaries of Christ.

Let us wait and see, and let us pray. The most important sentence in the "Distorter" article is this: "Vatican sources stressed that the action against Maciel should not be read as an indictment of the Legionaries of Christ or its lay branch, Regnum Christi."

In this hour, let us pray for the Legionaries, for Regnum Christi and for their many friends and beneficiaries who know the goodness, the good works and the holiness of this vocations-rich, faithful religious order and its lay arm.

Note well that:
"Vatican sources stressed that the action against Maciel should not be read as an indictment of the Maciel."
Significant.

Remember how reticent the Vatican has been to do anything about anything in recent years. This is major.
