Simple Catholic, Hobble, anyone,

Is the identity known of the person or people who run and contribute to the Vov site?

It is my understanding that Eamon Shea is the person behind VoV, and Jim Gebel, Sr. the Laypulpit site. I am sure that Jim receives coaching from both Craig Toth and Eamon Shea; their writing styles are evident.

I see. Is it verifaible that Eamon is the person behind VoV? Or have the schemers been too cunning to let whoever the anonymous participants are, be known?

It is evident that the VoV site uses many Eamon-isms. It also links to another despicable site (RC Corner) that listed Eamon and Bernard Hall as moderators last time I looked.

The Pistrina arm of the network links to the Laypulpit site, VoV site, Mater Dei Seminary/CMRI Watch site, and the RC Corner site.

Pistrina also links to another fairly new site that Eamon runs, where he seems to have attempted to set it up such that his persona is that of a sagagious individual. So far he has somehow managed to contain himself and keep to bloviating and pontificating about various unrelated issues. It's not all bad on that particular site if viewed in isolation. But it is not an isolated site - instead it is openly linked to the cabal, at least at this time.

Jim Gebel, Sr., runs the Lay Pulpit blog, which has been inactive since October. At least this is my understanding. I suspect he is either the author or one of the authors of the VoV site too.

Whitened sepulchers...the disordered clergy who encourage these poor creatures.

Speaking of anonymity. So interesting that Fr. Ramolla and Rev. Mr. Hall two years ago published an article on their SGGINFO site that scathingly professed that anonymity was cowardly:

"Anonymity is a tool of cowards"

"LET NO ONE BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY WHO WRITES OR POSTS ANONYMOUSLY. Period."

The article is still accessible on-line:

I'd forgotten that. It is interesting that those most responsible for keeping emotions high are doing so anonymously.

I can't say for certain that Eamon Shea is responsible for VoV, but his style is so unmistakable, as is Craig Toth's. VoV was Shea's phrase, afterall.

I was indeed surprised to see that that article was published on Jan. 13, 2010.

Yet on the same site they had only just published - wait for it --- an anonymous Letter to the Editors from a parishioner on Nov. 26, 2009!

Both are still there in the archives.

I can't recall; was it published that Ramolla and Hall ran the SGGINFO site, i.e. were the editors?

Can't say for certain, but there's a strong suspicion: the St. Albert the Great site developed a few months later followed a very similar format, and Bernie Hall was the editor for the chapel site. It was obvious that one was used as the template for the other.

The ANONYMOUS letter after the condemnation of ANONYMOUS letters was a good laugh. I shot a note off to the "webmaster' of the site to let them know the inconsistent standard did not go unnoticed, and received a reply from . . . Bernie Hall!
