In the case of Fr. Maillard, there is no doubt that he committed these crimes. His own apostolate determined that he had, and took him out of circulation.
Meanwhile, Lad, I'll try not to be "such a dimwit," if you will promise to do the same.
God bless!
I'm not trying to minimize the crimes of Fr. Maillard, nor those of the SSPX in covering them up, though I am less familiar with the details of this one (in terms of SSPX coverup) than I am with the cases of Fathers Abbet and Groche. I have called for Bishop Fellay to be arrested for the cases where he transferred a credibly-accused priest (in some cases, such as Fathers Abbet and Groche, basically proven) ... and then said priest proceeded to abuse other victims. Bishop Fellay should be considered an accessory to those subsequent crimes.
At the same, time Voris' contempt for Traditional Catholicism is palpable in that last rant. He spent far more time ranting about schism, and the hubris of thinking that the Tridentine Mass is better than the NOM, etc. than he did on the Fr. Maillard case. In fact, the only thing I came away with from that video was that Maillard abused 27 children, and know little about how the SSPX mishandled the situation. He was practically frothing at the mouth about Traditional Catholicism. At one point, he derided the fact that the DEFENSE attorneys asked for the legal proceedings to be sealed, because they dealt with minors. That's absolutely understandable. In fact, I made that criticism about how they doxed the poor young girl who was victimized by Fr. Stafki. I posted a comment on their website that they simply deleted. One of the crimes Fr. Stafki was accused of was using electronic media to graphically describe sɛҳuąƖ acts with a minor. But that's exactly what CM was going in their nearly-pornographic description of Fr. Stafki's activities. Unfortunately, however, they didn't stop for one second to consider the humiliation and psychological harm they could do to the victim. That tells me that they're not concerned primarily about the victim, but are motivated by other agendas ... doing damage to SSPX, getting clicks / views / revenue, etc. Imagine being that girl now. Even though she's the victim, she's also a child and she probably can't walk into a church anymore without shame in realizing that everyone in there knows every sordid detail of what happened to her.
