In my case I simply saw that what I experienced was oppression vs obsession after reading the section on the different kinds of oppression. No deep thought or discernment on my part. Just something that stood out as obvious.
I understand that, yet to tie back to him the vivid envisioning of what was apparently the devil just seems wrong to me. Or perhaps better said, would be wrong *for* me. After giving it a little more thought, maybe that's something you need for whatever reason, but I sure don't.
I don't know about him tho. He does have some very good sermons, many other trad priests also have good sermons, but a major thing with me is that like Fr. Ripperger, most trad priests nowadays not only do *not* roundly condemn the new "mass," nearly all of them compromise to some extent believing it's just as good as the true Mass, albeit inferior.
Or they will roundly condemn it one time, then go the other way the next. I've seen this often enough in my life time that it kinda stands out somehow, not sure how to explain it. And I am not talking about sermons with repetitive condemning or promoting of the NOM, it's the compromising of it that leads to more compromise in other areas of the faith that I am talking about.
In my mind, that compromise with the new "mass" often comes through in certain aspects of some of their sermons, regardless of the subject matter. Which is why I just sum it up by describing it as his are sermons given by an indult priest.
