Founder of Legion of Christ Goes on the Record, at Length

Sophia Institute Press said that in just nine days it has sold 21,000 copies of "Christ Is My Life," a book-length interview with 83-year-old Father Marcial Maciel.

In the book, Father Maciel of Mexico tells of his unexpected call at age 14 to be a priest, and the trials he endured to establish the congregation. He also talks frankly about the criticisms leveled against him and the congregation over the years.

The book-interview was conducted by ZENIT director Jesús Colina (see today's Interview).
