You mean what he says it doesn't fit in with your conviction, so dismiss his credibility.

Uhm, no. I dismiss his credibility on entirely independent, standalone criteria. And you assume his credibility because it fits with your convictions.

I know someone who followed Malachi Martin around on a lecture tour.

He told me that Malachi addressed a group of SSPX supporters and referred to Archbishop Lefebvre as "the greatest theologian of the 20th century". About two weeks later, addressing a group at Saint Benedict Center, Malachi referred to Father Feeney as "the greatest theologian of the 20th century". Just one anecdotal incident. People have created entire dossiers which demonstrate that Malachi can't be trusted.

That was 1994, if you listen to the series of recordings till 1998 MM becomes more and more disillusioned with JP2 until in the last 18 months he is referring to him as a heretic and apostate.

Probably because more and more of his audience turned out to be Traditional Catholics.

Or, he found he just couldn't continue to ignore reality any longer and paint over the cracks.

It's not like he would be the first person it happened to.
