Question:

Dear Brother;

What do you think of this group Regain. Their website is www.regainnetwork.org.

Usually people think very highly of the Legion of Christ and Regnum Christi but I have had a few unfavorable encounters with Regnum Christi and found this site interesting as what they relate is similar to what I encountered. However it could be just a case of a few "bad apples" spoiling an otherwise good order and lay apostolate. What are your thoughts about this site?

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM+


Dear Linda:

The Regain website needs to regain its sanity. They are an bunch of nuts and fruitcakes.

The Legion of Christ and Regnum Christi are fine organizations. They get blasted like this because they are staunchly orthodox.

These people have the same conspiratorial, boogie-man mentality as the Kennedy assassination and UFO groupies.

Lord have mercy, they identified the National Catholic Register and ZENIT as Legion of Mary front groups. :) oh my. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my.

One person said that the Bush administration reminded him of the evil no good Legion of Mary.

I would advise that we get a fruitcake can and place these people in it and store it away in the back vault of the luny tune asylum.

Negative things can happen in any organization because all organizations are composed of people. The Church is composed of people and many of those people have done some terrible things. This, however, does not indict the Church herself anymore than a few rotten apples indicts the entire organization of the Legion of Mary and Regnum Christi.

Thanks for the reference to the site. I plan on including that site on our list of Hate Groups on the Internet.

Now Brother, tell us what you really think! :)

God bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
