Sad to say that poche is CI's shining example - and should be used as such - as to what happens to those who go to the NO. Use him as our example as to what happens to those who attend the NO, hence why we must never attend it for any reason whatsoever lest we too become infected with the same liberalism and lose our faith without even knowing it.
I don't buy it. I don't think an intelligent person would argue as badly as him, no matter what position they held to. And I don't think a stupid person would argue much better than him, regardless of what position they held to. I've seen Feeneyites who argue as poorly as he does, but of course I wouldn't castigate Fr. Feeney or someone like Ladislaus who obviously went to seminary and is obviously intelligent, even though I disagree with him, just on that ground.
I suspect, though I could be wrong, increasingly, that Poche is just simple minded and he does have the faith.
