Now we are not asking for donations/charity for the site but for our family. For a family that is making a gigantic effort to escape the daily routine drawn out by the world which involves a father being away from home and not involved with his wife and children.
This poisonous Morbeto, is into the Richard Ibranyi [who admits he is of Jєωιѕн descent] thing, of excommunicating popes. Morbeto cautions his readers to avoid the writings of the Holy Fathers' Pope Leo XIII and Pope St. Pius X etc. And as I recall, says he is in the process of "cleansing" his websites of their writings (i.e., papal encyclicals, allocutions...).
I should have chimed in a long time ago...
At first, I was inclined to jump on the bandwagon, because this man is worse than a dogmatic home-aloner. He's also a schismatic heretic! So he is to be vigorously opposed, like Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer.
...but just like our opposition to the Boston, KY cult, we need to keep this about doctrine and behavior, and not about the man himself. I would delete any comments talking about Fr. Pfeiffer's weight, personal habits, facial features, etc. because now you're attacking him as a human being.
No, with individuals preaching division, sowing errors, slandering countless priests and bishops, etc. we need to oppose their ACTIONS and BEHAVIOR -- attack their platform of error, as it were. Attack the publicly-known disorders, sins, and errors being promoted by the man (or men) in question.
There is no need to scrutinize his wife, his wife's IQ/education, relatives, or even his home. Every human being needs a home, and not everyone can afford a brand-new 4,000 square foot home (myself included!)
I understand why people jumped on him a bit -- I was inclined to as well, because of the above mentioned reason (he's a schismatic heretical home-aloner) but also because I'm sick of everyone and their sister being after my money (as if I have so much extra laying around! hahaha) and this man basically said that those who go to work full-time are compromising (in a shameful, bad way) with The Modern World.
For a family that is making a gigantic effort to escape the daily routine drawn out by the world which involves a father being away from home and not involved with his wife and children.
That's not exactly going to evoke sympathy from all the Trad Catholic men out there who have to work full time. I assure you that NONE OF US enjoy it or prefer it. Of course we'd all like to stay home with our wife and family every day. Who wouldn't? So he's basically saying that we full-time employed are not involved with our wife and children, and that such is a shameful compromise with the modern world.
So while it's true that my wife (MaterDominici) made some good points, I'd have to say she went a bit too far, or was too nice: Adam Morbeto is not just your average trad or blogger hoping to make a side income or ask for donations. He's A) inimical to all of us Trads; he thinks we need conversion, etc. and B) he insults most Trad men who have jobs. Talk about chutzpah! That is not the way to get men to open their wallets to give you a handout. In other words, he insulted us. And when you insult someone, the more emotional are going to react and perhaps cross the line. Sure, that's their fault, but you also can't say the man who insulted him gets off "scot-free". If someone insults me or my wife and I punch him in the face, sure I'm guilty of assault, but the other man is guilty as well of "provoking to anger".
P.S.
I have removed all the "personal attacks". As far as I know, there are 0 posts targeting his wife now. But this man and his erroneous theological views are NOT beyond criticism. No one is. If you think he is imprudent or foolish for trying to live off the charity of others as a chosen career, you are free to state that. I see nothing wrong with the thread as it stands right now.
