	Legion Orders Images of Disgraced Founder Removed The Herald December 13, 2010 http://www.heraldonline.com/2010/12/13/2685943/legion-orders-images-of-disgraced.html MEXICO CITY -- The Legionaries of Christ is ordering images of its disgraced founder removed from its buildings worldwide as part of Vatican-mandated reforms. The conservative order says photographs showing the late Rev. Marciel Maciel alone or with the pope must be removed from its installations. Maciel founded the influential Legion in Mexico in 1941. He was dogged for years by allegations that he abused seminarians. But it was only after his 2008 death that the order admitted the allegations were true and that Maciel had fathered three children. The Legion also announced on its website Monday that it was prohibiting the celebration of Maciel's birthday. It also banned the sale of Maciel's writings inside Legion centers.
