Bad news brewing?

update 3: Legionaries founder Maciel fathered children, could be renounced as spiritual founder.

So Patrick Madrid says:

I'm sorry to tell you that some shocking, saddening news about a prominent figure in the Church will soon become publically [sic.] known, perhaps as early as Monday or Tuesday.

I'm not sure that I see the wisdom of pre-announcing bad news. Best to just let it come, no?

I mean, I find Mondays distressing enough ... and they always come pre-announced.

update: through various sources, I now know what this rumor is about. It doesn't pertain to any currently serving member of the Church. And it will be no big surprise to long-time AmP readers. Carry on.

update 2: I agree with the critique that I handled this information poorly. I violated one of my own rules about reporting "pure gossip." I will provide coverage of the story if/when it actually breaks. My apologies. - AmP.
