Text: Letter of Legionary priest in Mexico

"I am a Legionary of Christ" by Juan Pedro Oriol.

What this is: "An open letter published in the leading Mexican journal Reforma. It is a letter by a Legionary priest recounting his vocation experience and asking for forgiveness."

Thanks to an AmP reader for a quick translation from the Spanish (the original spanish text is available at the end of the post linked above).

We should be aware that, while this story is breaking mostly on English-language blogs in the United States, the Legionaries have an even more active presence in Mexico, where Maciel was born.
