of calling her Mom “the instrument chosen by God to give life to Lucy the Cuteness”, still less would she have the towering narcissism of a Maciel-bot, who even at this late hour, is pushing the canonization of Maciel’s mother as the one who ordained by God “to prepare the earth in which his vocation as a Christian, a priest and the Founder of the Legion of Christ would germinate.”
The machine Maciel built goes on functioning precisely as he designed it to function. It’s like a giant robot that has had it’s head blown off by canon fire in a bad 50s sci-fi film. It just stumbles on, remaining “on message” and continuing the now-unthinking exaltation of the Founder because that’s what the machine was built to do.
Lucy is a good little girl and wouldn’t do that.
