thread_title:  Removing Categories 

message: Well-sourced information shows that Father Morris spent his entire clerical career with the Legion of Christ until things blew up for that order after the death of John Paul II. His association with the order is clearly part of his life story and including that association in the article is hardly inflammatory. If you have objections about the way it's presented, let's discuss that, but please do not delete the information. Lahaun (talk) 19:02, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I adjusted the wording to be more exact with source. All it says about Morris is that he "belongs" and does not "identify" with them. His activity with them was probably in his younger years since they assist in studying for the priesthood. Yes, it would have been a big part of his life and for good or bad it is a notable group in the article. We'll see how my adjustment goes. Basileias (talk) 23:44, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

text: Okay, let's see what happens. The cited Caroline Cho article, which is actually a puff piece about Morris, identifies him as "vice rector of the Legionaries of Christ Seminary in Rome." The article is undated, but refers to a 2006 event. The cited March 2010 AOL news article simply says that Morris and another priest, "belong to the Legion of Christ but rarely identify themselves as such ON CAMERA." (Emphasis added.) What seems to be apparent is that Morris wants to distance himself as far as he can from the Legion since none of his bios at Fox News, HarperOne (his publisher) or his own website mention that affiliation, which seems to have lasted from 2002 to at least 2009, ending only (at least publicly) when news broke that its founder, Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado, who died in 2008, allegedly, among other things, sexually abused his own illegitimate children. Lahaun (talk) 00:48, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I corrected what you pointed out. Considering the Legions past, cannot say I blame him, but we need a proper source to state that in the article. I did not read the Cho article until now. If more can be found, then I think it would warrant a section on it. Vice rector would be an additional bit to add. Lets see if the opposing editor comes to join or just starts throwing out my edits. If he does that, then he is censoring and that will need to be stopped.

thread_title: Legion of Christ

message: I do not see any value added to the article by the inclusion of the listed quotations, most of which seem to be platitudes. If you disagree, let's discuss. I will not immediately remove them from the article in the hope that with delay, we can avoid another editing war. Lahaun (talk) 02:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree they add little to the article.Theroadislong (talk) 12:20, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
