He's a soul created in the image and likeness of God ... and assholish behavior like this might push someone away.  You act like you're doing some kind of service exposing some crap that you don't even know what it is or might be.

This is why Traddism is sterile.

#1) even if you had concrete reason to suspect insincerity, i.e. vs. smoking-gun proof, where it's just guessess about "seems fishy" and other such bullcrap, just shut up.  If you're wrong, you could be contributing to the loss of a soul.  You'd need an extremely compelling reason to run your mouth or your fingers.  I'm sure you're doing a lot of good for anyone, everyone ... putting on your cape to somehow protect Tradition and the Traditional movement.  Get lost.

#2) there is no evidence, just bullshit gossipy tongue-wagging, since last I checked you don't have the gift of reading souls.

You're pretending like you're objecting to some political views, rather than questioning the sincerity of someone's conversion to the faith in appealing to the "public figure" nonsense.  And the other compelling reason one might speak out contrary to charity would be is if there were some risk of harm, i.e ... you had information to suspect that someone might be a pedophile that would harm children, or that somehow Brother Nathanael might corrupt Traditional doctrine, somehow, by some means.  You have no such compelling reason.

Shut your trap with this effeminate and uncharitable gossip.

That's why it's long overdue to take this stupid forum down.  Way too many jackasses who have nothing better to do than to slander people, wheter +Vigano, or Shia LaBeouf, or Brother Nathanael, or anyone else ... none of which SERVES ANY CONSTRUCTIVE PURPOSES WHATSOEVER.

Every time I saw some unforgiving and yet omniscient Tradisee (Trad Pharisee) slandering Archbishop Vigano, I cringed, and prayed that he wouldn't read this crap and run, not walk, but run as fast as he could in the opposite direction from Tradism, ending up a Buddhist monk or something.

If this is how you greet a prospective convert, and then you end up driving him away, you might be participating in the loss of his soul, as well as the souls of those who might have followed him into the Church.

Indeed, many new converts have mixed motives, or may be weak in some respects ... but the Church has always accepted them and tried to help nurture their initial faith, and it often happens that they grow in strength to become the best Catholics.  That happens when some convert to the faith when contemplating marriage, where perhaps secretly you might wonder how strong their convictions were, etc. ... but you don't go around running your damn mouth (or posting online), lest you take that fragile faith and destroy it.  Now, if you had some concrete evidence where, oh, this prospective spouse told some friends or wrote an e-mail saying that she had faked the conversion just so she could later divorce some rich Catholic and take half.  Otherwise, these are just suspicions.  Maybe the faith is weak, maybe insincere, maybe partly sincere ... BUT YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA AND UNLESS YOU EITHER HAVE CONCRETE EVIDENCE OR THE GIFT OF READING SOULS, charity requires that we give them the benefit of any doubt or suspicion.  You may say as much as you think might be necessary, where you might bring it up to the prospective spouse, or the priest, etc. ... but you certainly don't go around at the donut tables that have become endemic in Trad chapels running your mouth about her "insincerity" or it being "fishy", like some gosspy old lady, lest it get back to her and if she did have a weak faith, you wreck it instead of helping to nuture it, until perhaps it become truly strong and solid.

Shame on you all.
