The Book of Reflections, Legion of Crisis Bene Factress has just gone Kindle

i know that I must be modest against praying eyes and against the jealousy of other women who want to see me put down because I upheld Fr. Maciel's Regnum for years together with his Legion of Christ. Some slanderous people have been saying that we should call the Work of God aka Legion of Christ the Legion of Crisis so as not to take the Lord's name in vain but i do not want to appear fractious about this and prefer to continue loyal to Fr. Maciel and his (passion) fruits.
My son, Romulus, has made the sacrifice and paid for the face lift into Kindle so that more poor people especially Legionaries and Regnum Christies who have a very strict vow of poverty may be able to procure it for their daily medication and spiritual reading before the Blessed Sacrament

Jim Jones and Fr. Maciel

2011-11-22T11:14:00.001-08:00

I am finally realizing that Fr. Maciel was not a nice person but was able to attract very nice people and I think this is abundantly clear and visible from the following article I plagued from a nearby source and which i copy on your continuum and for your enlightenment

Drinking the Kool-Aid: A Survivor Remembers Jim Jones

The Atlantic

By Jennie Rothenberg Gritz

Nov 18 2011

Teri Buford O'Shea fled Jonestown three weeks before all its inhabitants committed suicide. Here, she explains why the tragedy should be a cautionary tale for everyday people.

On November 18, 1978, Jim Jones and more than 900 members of his People's Temple committed mass suicide in the jungle of Guyana. Since that time, the event has occupied a grotesque but fringy place in American history. Jones's followers are imagined as wide-eyed innocents, swallowing his outrageous teachings along with his cyanide-laced Kool-Aid. Teri Buford O'Shea remembers things quite differently.

O'Shea was 19 years old when she joined the People's Temple in Redwood Valley, California. It was 1971, and O'Shea was homeless when a man pulled up alongside her in a van. He told her about the community where he lived -- a place, he said, where no one had to worry about food or housing. The leader was a visionary who was building a new future. O'Shea gladly took the ride. After all, she assumed, if she didn't like the People's Temple, she could always leave.

Forty years later, O'Shea is just beginning to speak openly about her seven years with Jim Jones, first in California and then at his compound in Guyana. Her memories of Jonestown are complex. Its inhabitants, she says, were warm people who worked hard to build a utopian community. Jones himself was passionately committed to civil rights -- during the 1960s, he helped integrate churches, hospitals, restaurants, and movie theaters, and he personally adopted several children of color. (His only biological child, Stephan, had the middle name Gandhi.) The majority of the followers who died with him were African-American, and one third were children.

As O'Shea tells it, Jones's idealism was a large part of what made him so lethal. He tapped into the zeitgeist of the late 1960s and 1970s, feeding on people's fears and promising to create a "rainbow family" where everyone would truly be equal. He was charismatic enough to lure hundreds of people to a South American jungle, where he cut off all their ties with the outside world.

O'Shea, who escaped just three weeks before the massacre, recently published a collection of poems and photographs called Jonestown Lullaby. I spoke to her this morning about her memories of Jim Jones, including the mass suicide rehearsals he called White Nights. She described her dawning realization that Jones was going to kill her. And she explained why Jonestown should be remembered not as an American curiosity but a cautionary tale for everyday people.

You say that you want people to remember the good parts of Jonestown. What were the good parts?

What was good about Jonestown was not Jim Jones. It was the people he attracted. They came from every walk of life, from the very well educated to the totally uneducated. Some had lots of money. Some were living off of Social Security, and some didn't even have that. It could have been you. It was me.

How did Jones manage to lure all these people in, to the point where they would follow him anywhere?

He was very charismatic and attracted people who were feeling vulnerable or disenfranchised for whatever reason. Most of them were African-American, but there were also white people, Jewish people, people of Mexican descent. There were religious Christians and communists. If you wanted religion, Jim Jones could give it to you. If you wanted socialism, he could give it to you. If you were looking for a father figure, he'd be your father. He always homed in on what you needed and managed to bring you in emotionally.

I always looked at the Temple as a utopian community that used religion to get where we were wanting to go. Other people took it as Christ's way. There's a passage in the Bible where Jesus tells people to leave their families and follow him. Jim quoted that quite a lot. He said he was Gandhi, Buddha, Lenin -- he said the coming back of anybody you'd ever want to come back. And we believed him.

What was your impression of Jones when you first arrived at the Temple?

The first time I met him, I was convinced he could read minds, cast spells, do all kinds of powerful things, both good and evil. I was afraid of him and stayed afraid of him for seven years.

We didn't know he was a drug addict. Drugs were anathema at the Temple; we weren't supposed to do that kind of stuff. I learned after the massacre that he drugged people on the outpost there to keep them from trying to leave, to keep them from trying dissent, to control them in different ways, all unbeknownst to masses.

Do you think he really believed he was doing something good for the world?

It's hard to know the mind of Jim Jones. He was a very complex, confusing character. In some ways he was a good guy. He was passionate about interracial integration. The People's Temple built schools, built housing, built health a clinic, built a kitchen, cleared fields, harvested crops. His goal was to set up this utopian community where everything would be fair and equal.

At the same time, he was very paranoid. He could not accept the fact that one person would leave him, ever. He had us all sign papers -- Jim called them compromises. They were blank sheets of paper, or typed sheets of paper that he'd cover up while we signed our name. He had something he could blackmail all of us with. One guy tried to leave and Jim said he'd use his paper against him so he'd never see his children again. So he came back. The thing was, too, that Jim would not let children off the compound. So if you were going to leave, you were leaving your child. There was no way of getting a child out of Jonestown.

And if people did defect, Jim said he'd send them things that had poison on them. At least, that's what he told us he was doing. It's really hard to tell what he was actually doing. In the long run, Jim gave in to drugs and he got himself boxed into a corner. And his paranoia got completely out of control.

What were the warning signs that things might get really dangerous?

One big warning sign was that he had revolutionary suicide practices. He called them White Nights. He did this several times, both in the United States and in Guyana.

That sounds like a pretty big warning sign. How did those work?

There were loudspeakers all over the compound, and Jim Jones's voice was on them almost 24/7. He couldn't be talking all the time, but he'd tape what he said and then play it back all day long. And the rule was that we couldn't talk when Jim Jones was talking. So on the loudspeakers, he'd suddenly call out, "White Night! White Night! Get to the to the pavilion! Run! Your lives are in danger!" Everyone would rush to the pavilion in middle of the encampment.

Then he would tell us that in the United States, African Americans were being herded into concentration camps, that there was genocide on the streets. They were coming to kill and torture us because we'd chosen what he called the socialist track. He said they were on their way.

We didn't know this at the time, but he'd set up people who would shoot into the jungle to make us feel as if we were under attack. And there were other people who were set up to run and get shot -- with rubber bullets, though we didn't know it at the time. So there you were, in the middle of the jungle. Shots were being fired, and people were surrounding you with guns.

Then a couple of women brought out these trays of cups of what they said was cyanide-laced Kool-Aid, or Flavor-Aid -- whichever they had. Everybody drank it. If we didn't drink it, we were forced to drink it. If we ran, thought we'd be shot. At the end of it, we were wondering, Why aren't we dead?

And then Jim would just start laughing and clapping his hands. He'd tell us it was a rehearsal and say, "Now I know I can trust you." And then, in the weirdest way, he said, "Go home, my darlings! Sleep tight!" We weren't really in mood for sleeping tight at that point.

Do you think the people who died on November 18 thought at first that it was another dress rehearsal?

No, when the final time came, I think people were aware it was real thing. It had been a very, very bad day. Congressman Ryan had come to investigate the compound and people were leaving with him. People argued with Jim, but anyone who didn't want to commit suicide was held down and shot with needles filled with potassium cyanide. Unless you were one of the lucky ones who happened to sneak off into the jungle, you were dead. They went around with stethoscopes, and if you still had a heartbeat, you'd be shot.

Furthermore, they killed all the children first. That killed a lot of the people at heart before they actually took the Kool-Aid.

How did you figure out that you needed to escape?

By the time I got to Guyana, I knew things were getting bad. You walked into the jungle there and saw a sign that said, "Welcome to the Jonestown Agricultural Project." Then you saw guards with guns up above in watchtowers. And there were the beatings. I remember mentioning that I was in the mood for bacon and someone told me, "Oh, don't talk that way! You'll get beat!" I thought, "Oh my God, I can't even talk about food desires!"

The worst beating I witnessed was when somebody was accused of being a pedophile. Jim took hold of a rubber hose and proceeded, in front of others, to beat this man's private parts to the point where he was bleeding. I know pedophilia is horrible, too, but that was just cruel and totally abusive. There were a number of beatings like that -- -they were really bad.

It was a combination of that and finding out little by little what was real and what wasn't. The turning point for me was in the jungle one day, when one of the aluminum roofs slipped off one of the cottages and made this loud bang. Jim Jones went out of his skin. He was terrified. And I thought, Wait a second -- -why hasn't been terrified all these other times when people were supposedly attacking us with guns? Now a tin roof falls and he's scared? That's when I realized that the guns weren't real.

You've written a poem called "I Do Not Love You" in which you describe an incident where Jim Jones held you at gunpoint. Can you talk a bit about that?

He called me down to his cabin one day. He had designated me to be one of his partners, which was a dubious distinction. I had never, ever told him I loved him. Because I didn't -- I was afraid of him. He held a gun to my head and said, "Tell me you love me." I thought, I could tell him what he wants to hear. On the other hand, he's paranoid, so maybe I should tell him the truth. It was a flip of the quarter.

I said, "I don't love you." And he accepted it. You never knew, from one minute to the next, how he'd react. He told me one time, while he was close, that he would like to die while strangling me. He had hands around my neck. I thought, I hope this isn't the moment he finally cracks.

From that point on, I minded my manners with Jim Jones. My mother was schizophrenic, and he started really reminding me of her. I was one of his many secretaries, and he had me writing all kinds of letters -- letters to people in the government, letters to people who had defected. When he started dictating those rambling, 20-page letters, I realized they were the ramblings of a madman. I knew from my mother that the rational approach wasn't going to work with him. I needed to keep his trust in me and get out the first opportunity that arrived.

How did that chance finally come?

There were a number of lawsuits going on in United States, calling on Jim Jones to come back. Jim's lawyer, Mark Lane, had come down to Guyana and told him there was a conspiracy against him. So Jim sent Mark back to the United States to handle the lawsuits and take care of the situation.

I suggested that I go back with Mark and work as his secretary. I told them they shouldn't hire an outside secretary who couldn't be trusted. So Jim sent me back. I went to San Francisco and packed up my stuff - what little I had -- and said I was going to the dentist. Then I got the next plane out to New York. I changed my name to Kim Jackson for the longest time, until the FBI finally found me.

What was your life like after the massacre?

I was as shocked as anyone. I was 26, and I'd spent the past seven years of my life with these people. They were beautiful and hardworking. I've spent my life since working as a counselor for people with disabilities, both physical and emotional. I regret being in the Temple, regret my role in it, but the only thing I can do for redemption is to live my life and serve people as long as I can. We all wore both white hats and black hats. Except Jim Jones -- his hat was primarily black with maybe a little polka dot of white.

How do you feel when you hear people casually use the phrase "drink the Kool-Aid" -- as in, "I drank the Kool-Aid. I love everything Lady Gaga does."

It makes me shudder. I know it's part of the culture now and I shouldn't be so sensitive to it. But Jonestown was an important part of American history, and it's been marginalized. We have to ask ourselves, why did 918 people leave this country and go with Jim Jones to Guyana? That's a big question. Why did this group feel they'd rather live in a jungle than in San Francisco, Oakland, Atlanta, wherever they were living?

There's a lot of disagreement over the word "cult." How would you define it?

A cult is when you aren't allowed to see your friends or family. I'm not talking about a retreat, or two weeks at a spa. I'm talking about total isolation -- someone takes all your money and brings you to a place where there's no communication, or if there is you aren't allowed to use it. Those are the lessons I took from Jonestown, and that's the message I think the American people should take from it. Trust your gut and don't give up your liberties.

I was fortunate that I had an opportunity to escape and I took it. Even then, I thought Jim Jones would find me and kill me. I had to get to the point where I didn't care if I died. I just wanted to have my own life, however short it might be. My goal, in fact, was that I wanted to live to be 30 so I could have a rich and full life. Now I have a daughter who's 29, and I'm 60. I've had double what I wished for.

I know you have missed me but are ashamed to say it because you are not supposed to be thinking about a buxom 50thyish matron very devoid Catholic and living near the death place of Mother Margarita Ann Seaton in Emmitsburg MD which stands for Maryland but I have been the only one who has been keeping up with Fr. Antonio who was sent to the West Coast for a few years to cool his heels and take care of the University of Sacramentales that died a happy death, RIP. But Father has resurfaced as on the bored for the Reformation of Constitutions set up by Cardinal Allesio De Polis and nobody better than our ruthless leader to do the job based on his numerous years at the helm of recruiting and fundrasing on the Americano frente -excuse my Spanish but I am taking it at the local Salvation Army Church -with a special dispensation from the Holy Father just like Fr. Maciel had but not for the same reasons. Must run the weather is great for hanging out the clean laundry

Dear Readers and Digesters,
i am overjoyed by the interest shown by my admirers -and me a mature matron of firm....convictions regarding all that entails the Roman Catholic Church and especially the Ultra Orthodox Legion of Crisis which was what attracted me to them and them to me at the beginning as i wanted solid foundations in the faith for me and my boys surrounded by so many temptations from the right and from the left from above and below and in between because of the liberal element which was and is still destroying the church, the pope and the catholic priesthood and letting baby killers take over our country while pastors and shepherds neglect the flock of sheep who fill the pews on a weekly basis not knowing their left hand from their right and who came first Abraham, David or Jesus...

I have decided at this stage of my life to have a facelift in order to display more precisely the facade of the book my son has postumously dedicated to me and which is now available at Amazon dot com and the NY Times Best Seller list for immoral literature because it features prominent clergy of the still in my mind Glorious Legion of Crisis

Speling has been corected and everything is in ship shape as the cover shows:

Fr Anthony Re Surfaces!

2011-07-21T15:10:00.000-07:00

finally and i am behind the news father anthony did refurbish and this was in conjunction with the sprint equinox when there was mention again of the Commission to Reform the Constititution....a constitutional amendment it is called and i dedicate this to one of my closest friends -a man shall we say even though this is a totally platonistic relationship because after my husbands untimely death i have vowed myself to celibassy -that was one of the reasons i wanted fr as my spiritual director because of his holiness in this area and because i thought i would be able to joine the Regnum Christi "2nd degree" not sure which matriz that is spanish for nuance whereby in could live a consecrated life in the Movimiento even when i was out in the world and not living in community with my sisters if you see what i mean. But anyway Fr A is alive and kicking and will be on boreds and consulting -instead of solliciting for donations like he used to and fishing for vocations- and i am glad that a man of his excaliber is not lying in the backwaters of legion swamps down in Quintana Roo jungles and he is back in the land of the living in the land of Tir Na nOg that is gealic father's native lengua forgive my command of Spanish taking over the conversation but i must show off since i began taking my on line classes from the Oak Academy in Ireland i must off to feed Romeo who is back from Lafayette Square in downtown DC

Legionaries are not being nice to Apostolic Delegate

1] Notice Fr. Maciel dancing the bachiata with his Holiness 'for the Kingdom of Christ';

2] Legionaries with proper clerical collars processing in a procession

According to newsources
recently in contact with
the Vatican and revealed to
this blogger in a sacred con-sis-tory
[refers to only sisters being allowed to prepare the meals for the cardinals]

it has been recently reported that Archbishop De Paulis lost his patience with some Legionaries who are not willing to move forward with their lives their vocation the Legion charisma and the three commissions which are being set up to solve all the problems of the congregation [in this case the word refers to an order and not to the congregation of faithful as in the case of the people in the pews and so referred to by our separated brethren whose churches may contain a splinter of truth of the true church which is the Roman] where the priests wear the Roman collar in the perfect rendition of which fashion you will always see the Legionary priests -carefully study above images with a magnifying glass if you have one handy otherwise buy it and charge it to your christian education- they are an example of how to wear the collar with just the right size separation of the black elements leaving a nice small white slit to show through you will notice that non catholics and other mininsters that purport themselves to be priests will often have the space too wide and thus are in contravention to the norms laid down by Nuestro Padre in the Reglas de Urbanidad y Libro de Normas y Avisos and in the 20 odd volumes of his own handwritten for the most part Letter of Nuestro Padre which at one time were valued at over One Million Dollars by the Legion and rightly so because they contained such pearls of Wisdom from the Founder who was proclaimed by Pope JP II -we love you!- as an "efficacious guide to youth" and faithfully rendered in books published by the prestigious CIF sold by the Legion to initiated persons who would understand the depths of Nuestro Padre's spirituality...The proper fashion of clerical collar Spanish clergyman is taught, styled and modeled at the Mater Ecclesiae College in Rome run by the Legionaries.

4] Where is Father Anthony Bannon?

2011-06-18T21:15:00.000-07:00

I am still very concerned about the whereabouts of the father and have had to do a lot of researching into recent communications of the top echelons cadgers of the Legion to see if I could find father's name but Helas as Hercule Poirot says I found a bunch of other names that were not his and most disturbing is that i found a flamenco father in Padre Antonio's place, un tal Julio Marti as the great Spanish writer said in a hundred years of solicitude

"Signed today, March 25, the solemnity of the Annunciation of Our Lord. Through the intercession of his Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, may the Lord grant us the grace to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of the Love of God made man, and to live and share it with renewed fervor.

[3] Where is Fr. Anthony Bannon? Was Territorial Director of Legion for North America

2011-06-09T15:41:00.000-07:00

this is not Fr Bannon....

Not sure when Fr. Bannon's regime as Territorial Director began and ended

It seems that at some point in 2006-2009] Territorial Directors were named for New York and Atlanta, thus splitting the territory and leaving Fr. Bannon out of the equasion.

[2] Where is Fr. Anthony Bannon, LC? The Vocations Expert

2011-06-09T15:25:00.000-07:00

Here is a text from the American Papist blog in March 2009; it was after the Maciel double life scandal broke; Fr Anthony, in teleconference evaded this reality and spoke about vocations to the priesthood

So in March 2009 Fr Anthony was ingnoring the Maciel scandal and acting as Vocations Expert

Report: LC "town hall meeting" with vocations director

On March 9th I posted news forwarded to me by a member of Regnum Christi about the first-ever Interactive Teleconference hosted by Legion vocations director Fr. Anthony Bannon.

Fr. Bannon was one of the figures instrumental in the founding and expansion of the Legionaries and Regnum Christi in the United States, and has been with them for more than thirty years.

Here are my observations of the conference call he conducted last night, numbered for convenience:

There was a moderator of the conversation that introduced Fr. Bannon. People calling-in were given the option of submitting a question. Some of these questions were submitted to Fr. Bannon by the moderator (scroll down). It was promised that every question would eventually receive a response from Fr. Bannon or one of his assistants.

Fr. Bannon began with a clarification of what the call was, and was not. He said it was not a news conference and he would not be discussing or answering questions about the "unexpected events" and "total surprise" of the "serious failings of the father founder" which he went on to say were "difficult to accept, but accept them we must." [These parts felt recited and measured.]

He said the time was not yet mature to discuss these matters and promised that the Legion was in constant contact with the Holy See. He said there were facts that still need to be investigated. Prudentially and without rushing. He promised they were working on it.

[This sounded more ad-libbed] He emphatically stated that "we’re deeply sorry and apologize to anyone who has been hurt or scandalized by these actions. Our directors are quietly trying to get in touch with possible victims." He went on to apologize again for the scandal caused to "you."

"Many of you have gotten in touch with us to say you are praying for us, so let me express my gratitude for your prayers over these past weeks."

"One of the main reasons that you have supported us is our fidelity to the Holy See. That part of our spirituality is not about to change nor will it ever I hope."

He promised that anything the Holy Father saw as appropriate (in terms of taking action), "we will do that and do it happily."

[It was evident at this point that he was in fact going to discuss the situation at some length.]

"First point, our trials have been a blessing. You have been very kind to us." He said the Legion has received many accolades including from many quarters in authority in the church.

He said the apostolates were growing tremendously. "All of this is good." But at the same time: "We are human and this is therefore a danger. We can get overconfident, begin to feel superior." He said there was a real danger of "losing the focus" and that "the present situation has helped bring us back."

He continued: "This experience of weakness has brought us back to the core of what we are doing as priests. We must review our actions to make sure no one except Christ is at the center of our lives. A better awareness that it is Christ we are following, and no one and nothing else."

These points are perhaps the most interesting of what he said: "Our constitutions were approved 25 ½ years ago. It was like the church took our charism out of our hands. Received from God, and taken out of our hands and our founder’s hands. For those 25 years, not even he could change them without going through a process."

[I'm paraphrasing:] The church has guaranteed ours as a valid charism, and protects it. It is a valid path to holiness. Regnum Christi was approved in similar fashion 4 years ago.

We work to do what the church has approved in order to make it a reality. [At this point it felt rather distinctly that he was reading from a prepared statement. Though perhaps rephrasing things in his own words. It was very fluid.]

He concluded by saying, in effect, "We want to make sure we are what we are supposed to be, in what the Church has approved."

(I forget exactly how long this opening statement took to complete, but I believe it was about 8 minutes.)

Next, he overviewed the situation of Legionary formation in the United States. "Vocations are up this year" was the bottom line. But he spoke at length and in great detail. He talked a lot about how happy the seminarians are.

He said formation of Legionary priests faces two challenges: fostering commitment to the vocation they have chosen on the side of the seminarians, and providing for the financial needs of their education on the side of the formators.

At this point, the moderator came back on the line and asked five survey questions of the listeners, which I paraphrase: a) how vital is the work of the legion to the future success of the Church? b) in addition to vocations, what are you most interested in -

Youth family programs; Schools/education; Work with poor abroad? c) what age group are you in? d) have you ever met a legion priest or seminarian? e) are you interested in a future teleconference?

Following this, roughly 30 minutes of the moderator asking questions from the listeners while Fr. Bannon responded. The questions: a) “how come the Legionaries aren’t assigned to parishes like regular priests?” b) “Should parents be allowed to see those in the novitiate more often?” [Fr. Bannon explained that the novitiate is "Almost like a year or two of contemplative life."] c) "how has the economic downturn affecting the legion in the way you operate?" [Fr. Bannon said it has affected them as much as anyone else, so seriously. They are looking to expand their donor base, I gathered] d) "how much time does the Legion spend supporting human life and against abortion, etc?" e) why does it take so long to reach ordination?" [The gist of Fr. Bannon's answer: because they are not ordained until they are ready to act as priests.] f) "We’re in a period of spiritual warfare. What should we do and what is the Legion doing?" [Here it was interesting to note that I believe Fr. Bannon slipped at one point into saying "John Paul II told the founder ... I mean, told us ..."] g) "do the Legion receive funds from anyone besides private donors? Do the dioceses?" [This question, perhaps because he did not understand it, I don't think Fr. Bannon ended up answering. He spoke about collaboration between the Legion and local dioceses instead.]

I've not posted most of the spiritual insights and attitudes that Fr. Bannon expressed. I had the impression I was in the presence of a holy man, very dedicated to his mission of forming priests.

He often thanked the listeners for supporting the Legion. He said "God’s providence is always there, and he will bless and help us" and asked that "we may have the perseverance to do what we need to do". He prayed that he could "Serve you and serve souls better" and promised to pray for the listeners in his prayers and Masses. He said God was very present to us now.

Afterwards the moderator returned to the line and thanked everyone, saying he thought it was an excellent way to be "close to you." People whose questions were not answered were invited to leave a voicemail.
I'm not sure that I have any commentary to add except one observation: it's a pity that this conversation had to be conducted about such pressing issues as the formation of seminarians, the financial stress of our times and on the Legion, and the future of the Legion in relation to the Church ... without any up-front discussion of the Maciel scandal. Clearly it is on people's minds, clearly they are looking for answers, and Fr. Bannon could not (read, is not allowed at this point to) give any.

Let us pray for priests and seminarians of the Legion, for the consecrated lay members of Regnum Christi, and for Maciel's victims, that a forthright solution will be pursued to these too-long-festering wounds.

Where is Fr. Anthony Bannon LC?

2011-06-08T08:13:00.000-07:00

at the risk of being redundant and consistently repeating myself ad infinitum I must ask this question. It is eating away at my wasted frame and the Legion will be responsible for my demise if I do not get an anwer to my dilemma

Please help me find Fr. Anthony who was constantly sollicitating me for donations during years. Where has he gone to? I do not want him to be relegated to the First Division, below the Premier English Division of soccer, my son Romulo is a fantico of the sport because of his friendship with the Hispanic men cleaning Lafayette Park in front of the White House, by the new bitch -sorry batch!- of Legion hierarchy including De la Garza and Co.

Fr. Anthony Banderas Deported?

2011-06-07T12:01:00.000-07:00

the photo has been deliberately disfigured to hide the identity of the little boy

I feel God is calling me to find how Fr. Anthony Banderas is doing since it was maliciously rumored that he married Melanie Mark Griffen and it has also been slanderously spread that some erstwhile prominent Legionnaires are being deported to foreign courntries ever since just before the Vatican slapdown ordered by his Holiness Bene Dict XVI.

Because of my personal interrelationship with my favorite Padre I have tried to remain in touch -without touching!- with him but is has been decreasingly difficult to follow his traces even with the help of the best trappers from the IRS, INS and Firearms and Drugs Buro. What my lavish investigations have uprooted - I love alliterating- is that father is no longer a BigWig. God be with the glory days of Camelot in Cheshire CaT when he was at the head of fundraising and vocation invention and all was rosy in the garden of eden of the shiny new religious order from Mexico by way of Ireland and pastors and bishops welcomed the strangers with open arms until they realized that the visitor was eating them out of house and home, funds and seminarians if I may use a metaphor.

But getting back to my concern I am worried about good priests disappearing men who gave their lives to the cause of Fr. Maciel's Kingdom very often at the cost of working long hours 24-7 leaving their famlies behind never getting a break being constantly on the road sleeping in rectories giving retreats writing letters an circulars and visiting wealthy widows who are about to throw in the sponge and faciliating their transition to the Happy Hunting Group with a series of Gargantuan Masses and a large donation to the cause of clean shaving shiny faced light skinned stiff collared and frosty priests...

Where has the padre gone to? I dont want to believe the calumnies and detractions that the superiors are hiding some of the men who were so prominent and gave their life blood for years just because they might be asked to give a disposition regarding their stewardship and whether they had any knowledge of the shennanigans that were going on around them during the regime of the notorious Nooo-estroe Padray when he was here in the USA and living off the land at the Waldorf Historia and other high falootin' places such as private airplanes and helicopters. Did my hard earned donations go towards that when I was always told that they were to keep the teeth in the seminarians who spent those freezing winters with a roof and heating after hurricanes had destroyed the dormitories...

The washing await me -another alliteration!

Bene Factress of the Legion of Christ

2010-12-05T16:02:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite Legionaries who is no longer a Legionary but has not officially left because he....I know your understand what I am trying to say

Dear throngs of followers I about to lunch a book with a collection of our conversations from the Internet but it will not be on the Internet but in the written books form as this is what has been decreed by my Higher Power at Alexandria City Distrinct Court when it was decided democratically to take down my forum for expression the exlegionaries.com discussion page which formerly gave a voice to the voiceless, a home to the homeless, and some backbone to the backbroken.

Please pray the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary for the cause of my book which I am postumously publishing through my son, Romeo Lynch Solano with one of the most famous and fabulous publishing house of sand and fog -a great movie by the way to open our minds to other cultures and overcome our prejudices about foreign people especially those from the Middle East which seem to be getting the short end of the stick in the media over the past few years because we are wont (a fancy word I learned from a retreat I took with Fr. Anatolio Mammon) to generalize to our convenience but I am running out of time as I have to finish the Luminosity Mysteries of the Holy Rosary before laying down my wiry body.
Buena Snoches, everyone

Thanksgiving from Bene Factress

2010-11-29T16:42:00.000-08:00

A picture of me- in the middle- with my my Swiss front-runners and a couple of American Tourists.

I want to to take this belated opportunity to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving 2010, a Advantagious Advent and Christfilled Christmas as I take a break from my numerous activities. My son Remus is still in Iraq or Iran, I cant remember which, and doing his bit for God and country, withou or without gratitude and recognition from the US government and the generalized public which has lost a lot of its original interest, vehemence and animosity with which we were led into battle by our fearsome leaders who started off on the Wild Bin Laden Goosechase which has proved fruitless up to this moment and thousands of people have been killed maybe only in the Light of Eternity and God can we fathom the depths of these grave events leading to some many graves and so many lives aborted and mutilated physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, suicidally and homicidally as I say Only God Knows what to make of this terrible muddle we got ourselves into which seems to have no end and for which American political parties will blame each other until the end of time. Romeo has given up on his protests in front of the White House and it is not because there is a Black man in there no it is because they have put up all these barriers and no safe havens for those who want to express their opposition to recklessness endangerment of human lives nor is the American public interested in hearing about the fate of foreigners in the Middle East unless they are Jews or Palestinians...and even that is pretty weak...

How Fr. Maciel Made a Baby!

2010-10-08T11:17:00.000-07:00

thank you very much for visiting this hollowed place one more time again and clean snippets of indispensible informatica that can be life saving and salvivick -influenced by my command of the Cervantes Spanglish and by my Biblical History of Salvation Studies at Mother Angelica's station with Fr Rollo but today i would like to drag your attention to a couple of scurrillillous comments made on another blog regarding how Fr Maciel created the babies that came his way Providentially by the power of the Holy Spirit. I refer them untarnished for your purusal and for you to vent you holy indignation at the writers who are hiding behind a veil of enmity as they launch their barbaras at this innocent soul: [please try to distinguish the real reasons from the falsetto ones]

"He had one too much" -a female one

"He carried a plate in his head
He had a plate in his brain
He was Jekyll and Hyde
The Devil made him do it
He had too much love
He was against in vitro fertilization
He was against condoms and artificial birthcontrol
His generativity was too strong [see C. Jung's stages of development) "
-------------

"Stories I heard: MM had a brain injury MM had a multiple personality disorder MM was taken advantage of while unconscious in the hospital Where grace abounds (MM was so full of grace) sin abounds more (satan attacked MM more than anyone else precisely because he was so holy) "

forgive the self portrait

hello to all my numerous followers of this blog who take time out from their busy schedules and hacneyed phrases to read my important and transcendental massages from my cubby hole in the secret space of One Flew Over the Cuckholds Nest as the Vatican continues to investigates the shambolic situation of my alma mater THE LEGION OF MACIEL AND REGNUM RICE CRISPIES the object of my devotion and almsgiving during many years as my sons took up their opposite causes in the chaos caused by a certain person i cannot name for fear of repatriation being bludgeoned to a Pulp Fiction by those who have branded me a bad American for calling a spade a spade and a major cop up that caused thousands of deaths in countries that begin with the letters A and I; our noble soldiers risking life and limb and all for what? "All for Hecuba" as Hamlet laments but I better get off my Soap Opera for fear the hatemongers in the name of God and [self] righteousness come after me with their baseball bats, hunting rifles and knives and their hoods in both senses of the word

Carta de Nuestro Padre llega al miembro de un Regnum Christi/ Nuestro Padre Letter in Spanish

2010-08-09T11:14:00.000-07:00

The ever paternal sollicitation of Fr. Maciel

Dear Queridos and Queridas,

A veteran Regnum Christi member working on his Counseling Studies at Mater Miserias Training Center in Road Island Female Seminary is overjoyed to have received a letter from Nuestro Padre himself on the occasion of his passing NBCC exam. I feel so privileged to be part of this privileged information... Let me give you my two sense of the repercussions....

Un antiguo Regnum Christi nos informa que ha recibido una Carta de Nuestro Padre con ocasion de haber pasado del exam NBCC para psicoteraputos(!). ...

It is well known that sometimes Fr. Maciel would write letters after they were due or before they were due so we are still trying to figure out how this came to be. It could ultimately contribute to his canonization as Fr. Jonathan Walsh tells us from an undisclosed location in Mexico where he continues to guide misguided Mexican mommas having marriage troubles with the drug cartels and kidnapping...

Se sabe que el Padre Maciel a veces enviaba cartas antes de la fecha y otras veces despues de la fecha pero no sabemos como ha hecho para mandar esta carta de ultratumba...Podria tratarse de un milagro...

Deaconesses ordained for Legion of Christ

2010-07-08T11:29:00.000-07:00

Fr. Maciel does the Texas Two-Step with Pope JP II

The recent ordinations of Legion deaconesses has filled my heart with joy and my spirit excultics in God my Salvation Army I must say there are some very beautiful boys there -thank God Fr. Maciel the sexual predatorious is dead and gone before he got his claws into this new batch of hemophebophiles although I dare say some of them are pushing thirty or forty because of the gruel- ling training regime they have been subjected and objectified to on their way to the Big Step of sellybossy they have taken One Step at a Time is what they tell me at AA and I am sure these middle aged youth are fully aware of this during the final days up to ordination as Legion priest hoods.
Stay tuned for further updates as they make their way to the altar of sacrifice

Bene Greets Fr. Bunyon

2010-06-29T15:06:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends in general and in particular Fr. Anthony Mammon who has now been retired to a backwater rub on either the west coast or the east coast wondering where my favorite Legionary can be during these hazardous days for the Legion and the superiors who are facing the Holy Inquisition under the pontificate of Benedict XVI -our names are almost the same as mine is short of Benedicta from the Latin for final blessing after Mass if you can still remember the Latin and or may be a supporter of the Bizantine Tridentine Missa in lingo latino from the First Vatican Council way back in day of 1870 if my memory serves me rightly but no I think I am wrong because the Tridentine comes from the Kind of Gum sold at Safeway and which contains no sugar and as I follow my flow of consciente it comes to me that the Tridentine Mass comes from the Council of Trent -where the phrase "trent coat" which English detectives always wear at least on Masterpiece Theatre comes from -see English spelling but I am getting my gum mixed up with my Church History the Council of Trent held centuries ago to stop the advance of Portestantism in Europe -this was before the European Common Market Economy

On a separate note, a totally different individual, Fr. Bannon, LC.,s still working hard on vocations where he continues his selfless apostolate for the wellbeing of the Universal Church, without trying to siphon off the best looking guys for the Legion.

Fr. Maciel's Sexual Demands not Experienced by Legion Leadership!

2010-05-17T17:33:00.000-07:00

Are those Fr. Maciel's sacred hands on the head of the ordinand?

"Don't you know how to do it?Leave me alone if you do not know how to alleviate my pain! Go away, you are useless to me!"

Legion Leaders are pleading Innocencia regarding the failings of the founder against the railings of liberals in the first place they knew nothing about his skullduggery and cannot be held irresponsble for his sins and Miss demeanors that have been splashed unceremoniously and without regard for his good name and that of his close relatives over the front pages of the sensationalistic press during the last year scandalizing innocent souls who do not want to hear any more about priests sexualistically abusing seminarians and nuns in Mexico, Spain, Rome, India and Indiana to mention just a smattering of places where these outages have taken place.

In their nuts shell they are saying they did not know what he was doing while he was doing what he was doing and therefore cannot be accused of pulling the sheets over his actions in bed with the seminarians or while he was enjoying his four intercourse meals with younger vulnerable and venerable Mexican victims of the female gender i dont think it mattered to him once there was some flesh on the bones...

The leadership also stated in an anonymous blog that they praised Fr. Maciel for not discriminating against his victims mostly but not exclusively white whether male or female rich or poor uncircumcised or Jew rough or Gentile as long as they got the job done. It is alleged however by unconfirmed sources that some of the leaders had fallen prey to Fr Maciel's wrath when they did not know how to service him properly:

"Don't you know how to do it?Leave me alone if you do not know how to alleviate my pain! Go away, you are useless to me!"

Fr. Owen Kearns falls on his sword for Legion

2010-04-21T11:04:00.000-07:00

The Recent Declaration of UnRepentance from Fr. Owen Kearns, LC, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR WITHOUT ANY QUALIFICATIONS of the National Catholic Register recommended reading for all REGNUM CHRISTI members coming clean about his calumny, detraction and other Crimes and Misdemeanors -see the Woody Allen film- has laid my mind to bedrest because we now know there are two bad guys in the Legion and Fr. Owen is taking the rap as in being the fall out guy to take the slings and arrows of outrageous readers who want to get their claws into any Legionary that will show his face outside the castle drawbridge in the middle of this de-battle of Sex, Lies and Videotape -another good movie

Bene relieved to know it was all Fr Maciel's fault

2010-03-30T18:35:00.000-07:00

The Pedo-Phile Marcial Maciel Degollando

Bene was very happy to relieve herself after learning from the recent communicado in sacris that Fr. Maciel, Nuestor Padre, Mon Pere, Superior General ad vitam, Spiritual Director ad mortem was the soul culprit for all the evils levelled at the Legion and its Regnum Christi New Religious Movement and the latter are completely Innocent and Without Sin as the prophet Isaiah said somewhere because he did say a lot of things when he was inspired like Fr Maciel was when he wrote the constipations of the Legion when he was evidently inspired by the Holy Spirit and given a Charisma between boy and boy and one morphine shot and another...I will leave the rest to your imagination

Filthy Media attempt to Smear Pope with German excrement

2010-03-28T21:43:00.000-07:00

Pope JP II courted by Fr. Maciel while alter boys smirk in the background. This photo is not the smear campaign referred to below

Because I have been so busy building a new church for the missionaries of Jesus of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Immaculate Saint Therese of Lise-aux and Saint John Vivianne this blog has been neglected and fallen into disrepute as you have probably noticed. Tonight I am here to set the record straight in this regard and draw your attention to the scurrilous and sacrilegious action of certain media that want to tar the Holy Father with the feathers of scandal so aptly described by that nummerary of catholic thought (control) Fr New House may he rest in one peace who was as is well known a stanchion defender of Fr. Maciel the " pedo -a very bad word in Spanish I am told by my handlers- file" priest. As I was saying we are now learning that also German priests had been violating miners and that is now being brought to our attention as vigilante Christians that this was not just an American Continent - or rather incontinent - problem and the ever scandal mongering Medea has been saying that His Holiness did not do enough to clean out the filth he talked about before becoming pope when he was archduke of Munich in Germany and that he had swept it under the carpet at his episcopalian palace in the Bavarian Alps where he ha been appointed by his soon to be canonized forerunner John Paul II I love you. It is all-edged that he too did not take the proper measures of the pedophiliac priest who defiled choir boys for years and transferred him to a convent of the German Shepherds order. The Medea do not seem to have their information clear and have launched a smear campaign against the Pope without having their ducks in a row and so I personally hope they will be shown up soon for their poor reporting and rabble rousing and that any American outlets that feature this suedo item are clearly trying to bridge the gap between El Presidente's healthy reform and the Boston Tea Parties launched by the opposition clearly a way of muddying the waters (of Boston Harbor here I am sharing an historical discursus with you in an effort to educate the public whose SOL scores have been gradually sinking to great depths of unanimity) I will stop here as I do not want to stretch or mix my metaphors and bewilder the reader with my mental dexterity.

Dedicated to my follower and special friend brother in arms who has encouraged me to publish the collection of these sermons along the lines of the great English preacher another New but not House who is on the way to sainthood for his Plain Parish Sermons

Holy Father Reebox Dirty Irish Priests

2010-02-16T14:14:00.000-08:00

The Holy Father Reeboxed the Dirty Irish Priests, not like my hero Fr. Antonio Banderas who is pure as the driven snow that we have experienced here on the East Coast and at Our Lady of Mount Seton Seminary in Baltimore dioceses where many a former Legionary seminarian or priest has sought refuge not always successfully previously but presently yes because the Archbishop OBrien is very "cult conscious" as it is said nowadays

Bene's New Legionary Poster Boy

2010-02-12T17:05:00.000-08:00

I have been misinformed about a TV cleavage of the Legion of Christ Novitiate in Connecticut USA
and was overwhelmed at the sight of so many whilte or mostly white with the exception of the brown person from Venezuela with clean shaven faces impeccable hair styles smart clergy collars and jet black cassocks. The star of the show was a budding Robert Redford but Catholic and believing in the pope and Jesus and church of latter day saints spawned by Fr. Maciel's charism inspired by the Holy Spirit and approved by Holy Mother Church and Mother Angelica. My reseach team has been unable to find a updated photo of my new heart-throb and I have to use one of the many available of the Fox News Analyst and General Commentator, Fr. Jonathan Maurice Chevalier while my over paid and under worked staff finds the proper image

S.O.S. for Fr. Bannon, Bene's long time Solicitor

2010-01-14T09:13:00.000-08:00

The Rev. Anthony Bannon - last known address, Cheshire Ct. - in classic Legion Pious Padre Posture

Since her long running repartee with Fr. Bannon as the priest who always was sending her letters of sollicitation Bene has kept a warm place in her heart for this blustering and blundering Legionary who nevertheless has raised millions for his seminarians. Bene believes that her Irish Spanish Padray, unlike Rodney Dangerfield, deserves some credit for his long innings slogging away for the Legion and being the public face of their fundraising - before being replaced by the beguiling Jonathan Maurice Chevalier...

Bene in a Rush to replace Lush Lumbug!

2010-01-08T14:26:00.000-08:00

it is rumored that Bene, the famous benefactress of extreme right wing Catholic Fifth Column, the Legion of Christ's Regnum Christi Party, is about to take on the mantle of Blush Rimbaud, the infamous and raucous pundit on Fox News Newtork and a member of the white blacklisters. Bene is already very involved with Mother Anjelica Houston's Divine Spark TV Meshwork where she specializes in Catholic fund and consciousness razing together with other good lookers such as Fr. Maurice Jonathan and William Michaels of the Millionaires of Christ.
