Lara v. Legionairies of Christ and Estate of Father Maciel (Filed in New haven, 2010)
The Catholic Church continued to heap honors on Father Maciel even as clear evidence of abuse was presented to them. Instead of disclosing the misconduct, Father Maciel was transferred and promoted multiple times. He even received an award from the Pope for his “aid to youth”. The Church provided excellent cover for his crimes and access to children. The plaintiff here was abused hundreds of times.
