Charlotte Was Both: Accountability

Amy Wellborn has posted a story on her blog, Charlotte was Both, on the Legionaries of Christ which arises from the Archdiocese of Baltimore. In particular, the story arises from actions taken by H.E. Archbishop Edwin O'Brien. The Archbishop sent a letter to the Superior General of the Legionaries (dated June 6th) with very specific requests. The letter is on the Archdiocesan website in PDF format.

The story has also been picked up by Rocco Palmo of Whispers in the Loggia in his post, "In Premier See, Legion Gets Premier Scrutiny." To quote Mr. Palmo,

After meeting with the Legion's superior-general last Friday, O'Brien sent letters to his priests and the LC head, Fr Álvaro Corcuera Martinez del Rio, detailing the new policy, which was formulated after consultations both with the archdiocese's presbyteral council and the Holy See.

There is sure to be more on this story.
