VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican said Friday it had disciplined the Mexican founder of an influential Catholic religious order who has been accused of sexual abuse, instructing him to retire to a life of "prayer and penitence."

The censure of the Rev. Marcial Maciel, 86-year-old founder of the Legionaries of Christ, is significant because he and his conservative order had found favor under the late Pope John Paul II, making the decision by Pope Benedict XVI even bolder.

BOLDER??? More like Boulder Dash! Just another instance of the church quietly retiring one it's perverts. This slime is going to live the rest of his life surrounded by luxury and servants. The only consolation is that there is probably a SPECIAL section of hell for these people.
