	Pope to Appoint New Head of Disgraced Legionaries Order The Raw Story May 1, 2010 http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Pope_to_appoint_new_head_of_disgrac_05012010.html Pope Benedict XVI will appoint an interim head of the conservative Legion of Christ Catholic order whose founder Marcial Maciel was disgraced by abuse scandals, the Vatican announced Saturday. The church "has the firm resolve to accompany and help" the order "on the way to the purification it needs," a statement said, adding that the pontiff would soon name a new head. The founder of the order, Mexican-born Maciel, who died aged 87 in 2008, was accused of molesting seminarians and secretly fathering children.
