"Internet forums can be sewers of gossip, calumnies, distortions and lies.  Mortify your sinful curiosity and refuse to read such garbage."

This "advice" is coming from a modern-gadget-loving priest, known to spend HOURS each day online!

He is a member (openly) at FE, for Pete's sake!  It is common knowledge he keeps abreast of things by visiting forums such as CI, FE, etc.

...it is not even close ___ good enough...

Please read "...close to..."

I actually said a priest should be the head of the school.  I DID offer to fill the role of an assistant, if they desired, but made it CRYSTAL CLEAR that I was NOT ASKING for such a position, and that I was perfectly happy to remain a rank-and-file teacher.

Tony the Psychopathic Paper Tiger does not have a conscience like you or I have.  This must be grasped if he is to be properly understood/confronted.  He will lie as easily as he breathes, and, as he will give NO mercy, no quarter -- NONE -- can be given to him.

Show the letter, AC.  Multiple people read it before I submitted it, and my memory for the details thereof would likely surprise you, so think twice before providing a counterfeit.

Fr. Cekada,

You and I have had our fair share of disagreements in recent years.  You have publicly defamed me, calling me mentally ill. I have publicly called you a lying, pharisaical viper and psychopath.  Now, if the latter is true, I realize you will have no interest in further discussion.  However, if you are not a psychopath, but a man of reason illuminated by faith, you might be open to a calm, completely private exchange.  I have become convinced that the vast majority of trouble in the world flows from misunderstanding and poor communication.  Most disagreements, even exceptionally vehement ones, are not black and white.  Relations among men are very complex, as each man is complex.  Although you might think you have nothing to learn from me, and vice versa, this is very likely untrue.  If you have any interest in trying to learn from the perspective of "the other" in recent events, I will meet you half way.  If not, I understand, wishing you a most joyous Paschal-tide.  God speed in JMJ

Eamon

Comment: So much for "forgive and forget", eh?

Please keep in mind this email was sent almost three full months BEFORE the Ode to Reality was composed or posted online.

Fr. C speaks of someone who is "mentally unstable" having confided to unspecified students, at an unspecified time, in an unspecified location, that he is "the prophet of the last days."

Now, presuming, for the moment, he is referring to me, I ask:

To whom did I supposedly say this?  When?  Where?

I never said such a thing.

Tony the Psychopathic Paper Tiger also writes:

"Traditional Catholics are particularly susceptible to any bad news...it's relatively easy to con them into believing or suspecting the absolute worst."

I imagine he does not think any Traditional Catholics reading these words will realize he just insulted the snot out of all of them, and is doing the very thing he mentions -- conning them into believing the worst[/b] about me, Mr Gebel, Fr Ramolla, et alii.

Fr C speaks of repeating this or that lie, etc, until people believe it (something with which he is rather familiar).  Well, Padre, you just relied on what you yourself admit, albeit implicitly, is mere hearsay to αssαssιnαtҽ my (and others') character.
