The general council assisting the superior general of the Legion of Christ will be temporarily expanded with the addition of two priests recommended by members of the religious congregation.
Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, who is the papal delegate to the Legion, chose Fr. Juan José Arrieta, LC, and Fr. Jesús Villagrasa, LC, from the 15 candidates who received the most votes from all voting members.
Voting members included all priests, religious with perpetual vows and religious who have made their first renewal of vows.
The two priests will join the current four advisors assisting the Legion’s superior general Fr. Álvaro Corcuera, LC, in the governance of the congregation.
