Hi all, just a few facts from my area. I certainly don’t know about all Legion/RC people in other areas of the world.
The Legion priests definitely do not keep to themselves. They host open retreats for men and women, hold boys camps, youth activities (like a door to door mission). They also participate in Diocesan events like the ordination of Archbishop Burke and Corpus Chrisi procession.
The women I know in RC come from all walks of life. Some have kids in public school, others parish school, private or homeschool. It is very diverse. When I joined, rather than feeling ‘targeted,’ I almost felt like I had to bug them to get more info and to join.
We study the week’s Sunday Gospel at every meeting. We did study Fr. Maciel’s book, Christ is My Life, but right now we are studying Pastores Dobo Vobis, which is an Apostolic Exhortation written by Pope John Paul II.
Finally, the two Priests in our area both joined when they were older, not as jr. high kids. So, although they do have the Apostolic schools, that is not the only way they train their Priests.
If anyone has anymore questions, I’d be happy to tell you what my experience is.
Finally, I have been in RC for almost two years and I’ve never ‘recruited’ anyone. I have occasionally invited friends to the open events, but that’s about it. It is simply not cult-like in my experience, at least in this area.
God Bless,
Nicole
