How do you manage to sit through something like this?

I'd rather read a transcript.

He is not a traditional Catholic.

E. Michael isn't a member of my Catholic denomination.  Can't listen to him. :o

Just by chance I stumbled upon 52:24

At the end of the question, Mr. Jones states:

Who am I to say that he [John Paul II] is not a saint?

Is Mr. Jones a traditional Catholic?

That was a joke. J-O-K-E, joke.

Holly, I wonder if E. Michael would congratulate you for no longer being a SSPX attendee since at least that is one reason he could no longer hold you to being a schismatic!

 
I would never go to E. Michael for affirmation on that score. Jones is a very intelligent guy, and I think we have to thank him for developing one major thesis: The so-called “Jєωs” can be identified for only one commonly shared trait. They reject the Logos. Otherwise they have no fixed consistent cultural or ethnic identity. They are by nature revolutionaries, in revolt always against Christ and Christian culture. That is basically their ‘religion,’ if you deign to call тαℓмυdic Judaism a religion. I think Dr. Jone’s major contribution to our Catholic understanding is the definition of Judaism which he provides. On other matters concerning the Faith I pay only limited attention to him.

I will admit that E. Michael Jones is kind of brash and effective in his speaking, like Brother Nathaniel but without the attire.  But, as I've said before, E. Michael Jones is a lickspittle and he rants and raves about stuff that isn't all that important.  As for Hollingsworth noting that E Michael Jones pointed out that the Jєωs are organized around a denial of Our Lord, well, who doesn't know that?  And I mean that seriously.  Jєωs hate Our Lord.  Our Lord called them vipers in the Gospel and the enemies of Our Lord have been haters of Catholics since day one.  In short, who really needs E. Michael Jones to explain that to them?

E. Michael Jones does consider the SSPX to be schismatic and Mr. Jones does think the Novus ordo is fine - he does rants and spread his saliva everywhere, hence the reason I call him a lickspittle, about "bishops not backing up the Church". 

I will say that if some other posters here are in such a cultural desert that they need to be entertained by E. Michael Jones then please be my guest and enjoy his stuff.  No doubt the guy is very bright and combative but why does he not see the error in the Novus Ordo? 

Jones seems to be a good historian with a penchant for and skill in investigative journalism.  He is also a capable philosopher.  But he is a terrible, terrible theologian.  He's the sort of guy who will point to Nostra Aetate, assert that it's been misunderstood-- but don't worry because he has the correct understanding.  He struggles to view the Church as a divine institution (I'm sure he believes she is, but one would be hard pressed to find any evidence of that belief when he attempts to explain how this or that crisis or change happened).
