Introduction

The Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ (Latin: Congregatio Legionariorum Christi; abbreviated LC; also Legion of Christ) is a Roman Catholic clerical religious order made up of priests and candidates for the priesthood established by Marcial Maciel in Mexico on January 3, 1941.

The Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ is a Roman Catholic clerical religious congregation of Pontifical Right for men that forms part of the Regnum Christi Federation (official website: http://www.regnumchristi.org), founded by Maciel in 1959, which includes the Legionaries of Christ, the Society of Apostolic Life of the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi (official website: https://consecratedwomen.org), the Society of Apostolic Life of the Lay Consecrated Men of Regnum Christi (official website: https://rclayconsecratedmen.org), and other Catholics who associate individually. Its members add the nominal letters (LC) after their names to indicate their membership in the Congregation.

Description of the flag

The flag is a horizontal background featuring a crimson (left) and white background (right), equally and vertically divided fields, with the logo in the middle, bearing the cross, the sacred heart and the initials R A T, most likely standing for Ratio Institutionis (English: System Formation), which is the set of rules for this congregation.
