Hey guys. I have discovered recently this Catholic called Michael Voris.
He seems to have done a lot of good videos related to the faith.

I am wondering what is your opinion of him ?
Thank you.

I listen to the Vortex sometimes, Voris has a conservative view within the NO and would like to see a return to more Traditional Catholicism. He is not afraid to speak out about bad bishops and call attention to important issues and NO abuses. Sometimes I wonder why his car doesn't explode when he turns the ignition in the mornings, considering some of the scorching rebukes he has given to powerful Church officials, gαys, and politicians. Being in the same room while I listened to some of his videos actually helped start a stubborn Protestant friend on the path to eventual conversion to the faith. ( the friend now attends SSPX) But I once received an email from him warning me against the SSPX after I commented about going to an SSPX chapel because of the NO abuses, so he is definitely not friendly towards the Society. This is all I have to offer about Mike.

Voris used to be a Novus Ordo neo-con, but has come a little closer to Tradition the last few years.

However, he has more of an FSSP or Indult mindset, and if I remember correctly, he's a fan of Father Z.

I have pretty much the same opinion of him as everyone else, so far in this thread.

My .02 on him from the Dolanism thread, jfwiw:

It's not that MV does not expose lies and falsehoods, it's that he never exposes them fully. If he did, he would have to admit that Cardinal Dolan's actions accurately represent exactly what the NO is all about, he would expose the fact that Cardinal Dolan is doing nothing wrong according to the NO - because Cardinal Dolan (and most, if not all of his brother NO clergy) truly and fully understand the NO and is simply doing his part implementing and living what the NO teaches, albeit while masquerading as a Cardinal of the Catholic Church.

MV's problem is that he stops well short - and in so doing, as has already been posted here, he misleads many otherwise sincere but unknowing Catholics right back into the modernist's machinery, the lions den, to let them figure out on their own whether to remain compromisers or to find something else - but what is that something else? What is the solution? These and many other pertinent questions he leaves unanswered and unexposed - which leaves unknowing Catholics in a state of confusion, which leads ultimately to indifference.
