Of course not. Your vestigial tribal loyalties are no secret.

One question, Maurice, if I may.  You ARE a Catholic, right?  I've seen the question raised before and, probably my own fault, not seen your response.

It didn't occur to me that he might not be. Now I'm curious, too.

The Judaica Ardens Disease arises here now? Argument by innuendo and character assassination here now?

There, Then:

I recall GregJ of Judaica Ardens ill repute stating his intent to destroy the reputation of Michael Hoffman and  much of that effort was an attempt to "prove" by innuendo and mere assertion that Michael is not Catholic. Two ironies: (1) two personal friends of Hoffman testified to his Catholicism and (2) while attempting to impugn Hoffman's catholicity, GregJ was himself touting how the тαℓмυd was useful for Catholics to understand the Faith and the Mass, also attempting to raise his selected historians as Magisterium, raising their historical theories to de fide on matters the Magisterium has never addressed. Damned by his own public defections from the Faith, GregJ impugned Hoffman's Catholicism. Hoffman's defenders were timed out and banned by Judaica Ardens; GregJ remained there as rabbi.

Here, Now, the Antidote to Judaica Ardens Disease:

Any honest rational man who has carefully followed the Maurice Pinay blog can only conclude that "Maurice" is Catholic, scrupulously Catholic. While that objective evidence is dispositive and should stand alone, you also have my personal testimony as his friend.

By the same Matthew 7:1-2 standard by which Maurice judges Malachi Martin, we may safely judge Maurice himself as Catholic. See the years of evidence yourself: http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com

What character assassination? I haven't carefully followed the Maurice Pinay blog, though what I've read I've liked.

He said he was Catholic earlier in the thread.

On first glance it appears to be a couple of guys throwing Malachi Martins dead body to and fro with their high and mighty intellects. I certainly never agreed with everything Malachi ever said but something's pretty weird about these great "thinkers" making an obvious planned attack on a dead man's words. Could it be that Malachi Martin's words are even more true than we use to believe?

In any case "Maurice" and "Michael Hoffman" appear to be a couple of self proclaimed "intellectuals" who are so full of pride they could never see straight enough to clear the fog and cross the valley without falling into the canyon. Who are these people? And why should I let them make a difference in my life? Weird.
