(28 Apr 10 - RV) Responding to journalists questions today, Vatican Press Office director
Fr Federico Lombardi S.J. said that any specific decisions regarding the Congregation
of the Legionaries of Christ rest with Pope Benedict XVI. Fr Lombardi was referring
to questions about the meeting of the five bishops in charge of the Apostolic Visitation
of the Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ, scheduled for this Friday, April
30th. Fr. Lombardi said that during meeting in question the bishops
will make an initial presentation of their reports and proposals. Therefore specific
decisions about the same congregation are not expected. Fr Lombardi concludes that
these [decisions] will be made by the Holy Father at a later date, after careful study
and reflection on the findings of the visitation A brief press statement will
be released after the meeting.
