What immediate impact did the 1997 CNI-Canal 40 broadcast have on the Church's response to allegations against Marcial Maciel?

In 1997, dissident members of the Legion of Christ publicly denounced the abuse they suffered as minors at the hands of founder Marcial Maciel on CNI-Canal 40. Their testimonies, aired 28 years ago, were largely ignored. HBO Max's documentary, "Marcial Maciel: El Lobo De Dios," revisits the case, highlighting the Church and State's complicity in covering up decades of abuse.
