Sexual scandal of Marcial Maciel
The sexual scandal of Marcial Maciel involved accusations that the Roman Catholic priest sexually abused minors and fathered a total of six children by three different women.〔 Marciel was a Mexican priest and the leader of the Legion of Christ for many decades. Described as a charismatic leader and the "greatest fundraiser of the modern Roman Catholic church," he was successful in recruiting seminarians at a time of declining vocations.〔 He was the "highest ranking priest ever disciplined because of sexual abuse allegations."〔
The scandal was linked with the wider series of international Catholic sex abuse cases reported in the Catholic church. Church authorities were criticized for a slow pace of investigations, with conjecture that it was because Maciel was close to Pope John Paul II and had well-placed connections amongst senior clergy. In 2006 he was forced to retire from active ministry.〔
In March 2010, the Legion of Christ in a communique〔("Communique", Legion of Christ )〕 acknowledged that "reprehensible actions" by Maciel, including sexual abuse, did take place. The communique stated that "given the gravity of his faults, we cannot take his person as a model of Christian or priestly life." The Legion had long denied allegations, and since 2006 had not made any official statement one way or the other.〔(Berry, Jason. "Money paved way for Maciel's influence in the Vatican", ''National Catholic Reporter'', April 6, 2010 )〕
