A damn shame about what they're doing to Voris. Fr. Paul Nicholson's behavior is atrocious.
I will continue to like or disdain CMTV based on what they say, not on some clandestine sinful past that their staff is trying to put behind them after conversion.
My words on the CMTV Facebook thread about this:
[C]aution in this matter is rare and admirable. On the one hand, we have to take CMTV's word that the archdiocese was out to get him. But on the other hand, Voris had to beat them to the punch. Add to that the fact that Voris' testimony surely was not easy, and also add Fr. Nicholson's latest petty maneuver--and it begins, a little, to seem legit. Either way, I support Voris in this matter, even though I'm positive CMTV will NOT extend a friendly hand towards my "Toxic Trad" circles. And I will continue to either enjoy or disdain CMTV based on WHAT THEY SAY, and not because of something Voris did in his past. Good luck with those back stabbers, Voris.
Fr Nicholson behaves true to character. A commenter on his nasty response to the passing of Fr Kramer called him a 'disgrace to the priesthood' for implying Fr Kramer was in Hell. He was at one point so closely associated with CMTV that he got in trouble over it. I think there's something other than this revelation behind the break. Given his response to the death of Fr Kramer and his silly, lisping squeaky voiced Youtube videos, he cannot be taken seriously. His lisp is the biggest gαy stereotype in existence, but to keep to reality, Fr Nicholson has shown himself to be deeply petty, which in any man is unmanly, but is particularly unbecoming in a priest.
Related to this, Michael Voris would not have been pressured by the Archdiocese if he was an unrepentant ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ who thought V2 was fabulous.
Hopefully the foolish statements about the SSPX will end. No one has a hold on him now.
