Marcial Maciel Degollado
Marcial Maciel Degollado was a notorious sexual predator and the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, who abused at least 60 minors over several decades, including his own children. Protected by Pope John Paul II, he manipulated his position within the Catholic Church to recruit and exploit vulnerable boys, often under the guise of religious duty. His actions have led to a significant scandal within the Church, and he remained unpunished until his death in 2008. A documentary titled 'Marcial Maciel: El lobo de Dios' is set to explore his controversial legacy.
