Moderator: the short answer -- "Catholic (S)candle is run by a Pfeifferian lawyer out of Chicago."
It is a scandal because they, being Pfeifferian cultists, love to attack faithful Bishops and [priests] such as Bishop Williamson, Bishop Zendejas, etc. and propagate the Pfeifferian propaganda that most of the Resistance is the "false resistance" and only Boston, KY and those uncritical of same are the "true resistance". Like I said, a cult.

Is it fair to presume when you say "a cult" you're not talking about one like the cult of Mother Mary?

Thank you, Matthew, for taking the time to post your assessment in so few words, and for allowing this thread to continue.

Now, if only the spelling of "candle" could be changed to
candal we could be making serious progress! But I digress.

So much of what can be found online is conspicuously missing particular facts. It seems today's world is adapting to the power of search engines, to support a subtle agenda of concealing key data that would make research and consequent understanding so much more accessible.

While I agree that besmirching the reputations of good clerics is not a good thing, especially when it runs alongside the selective adulation of other clerics whose history may be objectively checkered, nonetheless, it behooves the Catholic looking for informed comprehension of reality to be able to identify important turning points in the story so it can be easily, calmly and clearly explained to others, in particular to adolescents, converts and children. We should all be capable of giving informed and honest answers to those who ask us honest questions without having to resort to hyperbole, platitudes and blanket statements.

Don't you think?
