And Maciel died in 2008. You won't find Sodano doing much currently, but the papers are digging up all sorts of stuff Maciel and Sodano did in the past.
Maciel was particularly dangerous, because he had such a large and militant following. But Sodano and Maciel should have been taken care of 30 years ago.
And Maciel's religious order, the Legionaries of Christ, still take in seminarians at the age of 12. You'd think they would have learned.
Still, it's too late to do much about them now.

It really bothers me that so many Catholics want their church to go back to the authoritarian days of the past, when the Church pretended it had all the answers. Most priests and nuns don't want that sort of rigid atmosphere to come back, but I sure know a lot of lay people who want it.
