Pope Benedict XVI has ordered an apostolic visitation of the Legionaries of Christ following acknowledgment by the order that its founder, Father Marcial Maciel, lived a double life (not least of which included fathering a child).
No word yet on the makeup of the team of bishops that performs the visitation, which the Legion says is expected to start "after Easter."

In light of recent disclosures about more sexual misdeeds within the Legion, I suppose some action by the Vatican beats no action. Still, it's hard to have much confidence that any 'visitation' will have a real impact on such a secretive, unhealthy institution.
