After speculation by a Vatican expert that Cardinal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez would be selected as the commissioner to oversee the rebuilding of the Legionaries of Christ, his archdiocese said on Tuesday that he is “open” to whatever the Pope decides, but that the cardinal thinks the task should go to “somebody who has more knowledge of religious life, instead of a priest from the diocesan clergy.”
A statement released by the Archdiocese of Guadalajara yesterday insisted that Cardinal Sandoval has not been given an appointment as commissioner, nor has he been contacted about it.
The archdiocese stated yesterday that the task of commissioner should fall to “somebody who has more knowledge of religious life, instead of a priest from the diocesan clergy, as is the case with the cardinal.”
At the same time, Cardinal Sandoval said that he is “open to whatever the Pope's indications might be at the appropriate time.”
