Matthew, I will try to straighten this out. First I did not try to ruin or destroy cathinfo's reputation. There was a talk given at said school hall, it was attended by about 50 people. There is a close connection between the speaker and the superior in charge at said school. Whatever the speaker has chosen to do in the past ,the superior backs up to the fullest ,right or wrong. The speaker at the talk is or has modernist tendencies. This is why I was concerned about the book being introduced at the school. There is something seriously wrong going on at the school I mentioned .The speaker is given free rein with no repercussions.
As you know, I have no problem with CathInfo being the "WikiLeaks" of the Trad world. My goal for CI is to be the premier source of FREE and UNHINDERED information about all the important topics Traditional Catholics are concerned about. In other words, CathInfo will allow anything as long as it's likely true/factual.
However, some enemies have smeared CathInfo (and the entire Resistance) as being a bunch of spiritually defunct, bitty old ladies spreading gossip and rumor. That couldn't be farther from the truth, but I have to be careful about allowing posts that DO savor of those things.
If you have facts, you can post them. I notice you didn't mention the name of the controversial book. Why don't we start there. Does the book have actual Modernism, or is that just the opinion of some?
Usually if you're going to take the BOLD STEP (and it is a very bold step, let's not forget) of saying something less-than-flattering about a priest, there had better be reams of evidence.For example, there is reams of evidence in the public domain about what Bp. Fellay, Fr. Rostand, and others are doing to remodel the SSPX and/or sell it out to Modernist Rome.
But if you only have one thing you can talk about, and you can't even say much about that -- it's best to remain silent.
That's exactly how the neo-SSPX behaves. They throw vague accusations and call names, but never bring up any hard facts or evidence. We can't descend to their level, and I won't allow posts of that calibre on CathInfo.
We can't become our enemy.
