If you're innocently duped, you don't feel any compulsion to distort the truth one direction or the other. You don't distort things when you're just looking for the truth.
I think it would be difficult to find genuinely probative evidence that poche
willfully distorted the truth. After all, there are at least a dozen conciliar-oriented websites that are stocked with the sort of cherry-picked quotes—all tending to celebrate the council and the Newchurch that emerged in its revolutionary aftermath—that poche was forever posting here. I think it's likely that he frequented such sites on a regular basis and brought the fruits [
ahem] of his research back here. He was, after all, Newchurch right down to his corpuscles.
Take, for example, the quotes that suggest that Pius XI's
Mit brennender Sorge was nothing but a condemnation of Hitler and the nαzι regime. Poche must have posted those sentences here twenty times or more in the eight years I've been around. Of course, even the Jews are fans of those bits in that encyclical, though naturally for their own malicious reasons.
Poche seems genuinely to have believed that what he wrote was true. The truly Trad thing to do would be to remember him occasionally in our prayers, with the object being that he'll awaken from his delusional dream before it's too late.
