Born in Mexico in 1980, Raul Gonzalez is a sturdy six-foot-one, with dark, close-cropped hair. He has a fair command of English, but faltered occasionally, searching for words, and at one point broke down and wept in describing the sexual abuse he endured, in childhood and adolescence, by his father, the late Marcial Maciel Degollado, founder of an international religious order, the Legionaries of Christ.

The NCR has had a number of articles by Jason Berry about Maciel:

This is one of the responses of those who was reading these articles:

Jason,

“God bless you for being on this case and the whole abuse issue for what, 26 years now? You are the dean of reporters on the scandal, by far the most thorough, experienced and balanced.

Without your dogged research with the late Gerald Renner, Maciel could still be on the road to sainthood, so brainwashed are his partisans. Your book prompted the reopening of the canon case against Maciel and the documentary is outstanding. So glad it will be on Irish television shortly. Why doesn’t any American media run it?? Come on, Frontline! Wake up.

NOTEWORTHY: I can find no instance where PLACIDO DOMINGO, RICK SANTORUM, MARY ANN GLENDON, WILLIAM BENNETT, JEB BUSH, WILLIAM DONOHUE, CNN reporter DELIA GALLAGHER, and all the other luminaries have publicly disavowed their former support of Maciel and the Legion — particularly GLENDON. Every one of them owes a meaningful apology to Maciel’s survivors (no quickie press statement either). Their silence is deafening and shameful.
