I must admit, the idea of a cross country tour giving talks I'm passionate about is pretty cool. At least he got a neat experience out of it, if nothing else. I'm not sure how he's feeding his family though!

He is very skilled at begging and pleading for donation$.

It is ironic that he basis a lot of his claim on the jurisdiction issue, when Bishop Fellay's recent statements seem to indicate that the Pope and Rome have been privately approving of the Society's actions, including their confessions.

I thought he was a sedevacantist. Anyway, unofficial approval is not approval. The Pope wrote that the SSPX has no ministry in the Church. Are we supposed to go by what Bishop Fellay tells us the Pope really thinks?

The fact that he convinced a future priest that has spent 8 years of his life at hard study to give it all up and follow Gerry is satanic. I do not understand this man.

He is a Sede. He uses jurisdiction to say all Trad priests are illegitimate.

Bishop Fellay has letters from Rome completely approving of confessions involving excommunications. Also the Society was apparently secretly regularized for a few weeks during the ordinations!

Anyway. Gerry's basing his jurisdiction claim on a thin reed is all I'm saying. I think it will come out that Rome recognized they had supplied jurisdiction all along.

he is effect is really a protestant still in practice, not belief, in that he knows better then all others, relies on his own thoughts/studies and the home alone fits well there, as there is no sin in many prot circles about not attending worship services.....used to be more in older days (1800's and older) you were disciplined or cast out....

he is a functional prot with Catholic skin.....

A top seminarian -- a brilliant and exceptionally gifted young man -- in his final (7th) year of preparing for the priesthood at an SSPX seminary, with whom I spent an afternoon at a stop on my trip, pointing out to him the hopelessly inconsistent and indeed illegitimate nature of the SSPX, has left the seminary and returned home, apparently sending a few shock waves through the SSPX seminary community and beyond.

said seminarian is obviously none to committed then to priesthood or Gerry weilds a lot of :devil2: influence, one or other.....

He admits he is a recusant, which gives him a lot of self satisfaction, no doubt.

Really slams Ahlquist, while trying to say he was not. I had dinner, too, with Dale back 9/2009, nice guy and very decent. No a SV, but not a squishy NO either....That day, had lunch with M.Matt, nice fellow as well, not evil at all (though I disgree with his stances and that of Remnant during the 2008 elections).

A real insult to both men....

Quote from: Caraffa

Is it me or does Matatics strike anyone else as a modern day Super-apostle?

yup, set to re-institute the Church on his own education and book learning (say Prot). There is a bible quote on this:

Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight

(not had time to see the DRV on this, for quick look up, went with Prot version)

He went from Prot to NO to Trad to Sede to Prot!

Belloc, I am with you on Mr. Dale Ahlquist. Never met him but when things go right in my house and I have the time I do watch his program Apostle of Common Sense. They also have a Christmas program based on a play or story of Chesterton each year.

Belloc, my husband said the same thing you said about him still being protestant. He also said "He went from bible alone to missal alone."

EWTN has some audio podcasts of his show....he seemed sincere and not one of those faddy Catholics you see at youth days....his magazine is good, my subscription ran out, may ask for it for Christmas again...over all, he came off sincere and noted at beginning of conference, that we are Catholics and what we talked about that day would likely upset some people, esp non-Catholics and if so, oh well.....
