CathInfo.com

You know, I really do get sick and tired of waiting for REAL MEAT when it comes to criticism of CathInfo.

You know, specifics! Links! Details!

Instead, all I ever get is vague generalities, propaganda, poisoning the well, and name calling. Sometimes even outright lies told about me, CathInfo itself, and/or the CathInfo membership.

Come on, Fr. Hewko and others! If you really want to smash the evil CathInfo and look good to your followers, why not come up with some details! It shouldn't be that difficult to find a lump or two of crap in a cesspool, wouldn't you agree?  How hard is it to find a single instance of lies or libel (slander in written form) in a tabloid?

Based on the years of crickets chirping, it's apparently impossible!

Here is the crazy stuff my wife has heard  from a Pfiiferite/Hewkonian friend:  "Matthew of CathInfo makes money off his site because he has advertisements and thus he must be influenced from his paid sponsors" 
Here are questions that they do not answers or even try to answer, because they can't without providing any proof: Influenced to do what? What proof? Which sponsor is manipulating Matthew? For what purpose?
But here  is their implied answer or what they hint at: To attack Fr. Pfiffer and Hewko, to spread lies about Pablo, to promote Bishop William and thus promote the New Mass and Novus Ordo miracles. 
As if Jeep/Chrysler is conspiring with Matthew to bring down the "True Resistance"!!
All I can say to these followers of Frs. Pfiffer and Hewko is: Dude you're craaazzzzy! You go to stop playing head bongo!
 

I guess when you're in a cult, the idea of freedom or open information is pretty scary...

That's just it. I don't think it's possible to *really* understand what has gone on at Boston for the past several years without doing a little bit of reading into how cults work.

In general, cults (and cult leaders) use a fairly consistent and standard set of techniques. It's scary, fascinating, and sheds a lot of light on how seemingly well-intentioned (and properly formed) people can get looped into believing ridiculous things, and doing awful things. Here are just a few examples:

Key hallmarks of a cult:

Thought reform - I can almost guarantee, with absolute certitude, that no priest formed at any of the Society's seminaries, REGARDLESS of their position on a practical agreement with Rome, would take so much as a second look at Ambrose Moran without instantly dismissing him as a crock. Fr. Pfeiffer and Fr. Hewko were both formed by solid priests and bishops. They themselves preached solid doctrine up until a few years ago. Something SERIOUSLY changed in their way of thinking. Even the utter desperation of having no other Bishops should not normally be a grave enough concern to justify using Ambrose Moran. There has been some serious brainwashing going on. I can almost guarantee it. This can be understood on a psychological level.

Deception - There's absolutely no end to this. "Oh, Pablo is harmless..." "Oh, he isn't really actively involved in forming seminarians", "Oh, we're disassociating ourselves from Ambrose Moran." Cults cannot operate without a carefully constructed web of lies necessary to maintain the illusion.
Isolation - Fr. Pfeiffer has literally destroyed his connections with every other Resistance personality. He has destroyed friendships with Priests he has known for decades, has cut his faithful off from  resistance Priests and Bishops, and as far as he is concerned, Boston = Rome. There is not a single other group or priest that he can name who is preaching Catholic doctrine. Isolation to a T!

Induced Dependency - Fr. Pfeiffer has absolutely cultivated a network of induced dependency for those who attend his masses - complete red lighting of any Mass he doesn't personally approve of. Slandering other resistance personalities over, and over, and over.
It's pretty obvious that we're dealing with a cult here. But why? Why would Fr. Pfeiffer do this? Why would a seemingly normal Priest, presumably with a serious interior life, go completely off the rails. All any of us can do is speculate. I have my theories...cough..cough..Pablo, but either way, the demonic seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

So what about Fr. Hewko? I'm not one to rush to the modern healthcare system for problems that seem to be spiritual, but the fact is that Father Hewko has likely been profoundly psychologically affected by his close association with several very shady characters. He needs a lot of deprogramming and serious help. All we can do is pray, but I wouldn't expect Father Hewko to just change his mind any time soon. He will likely be dealing with this for years to come...

Also it is foolish to think +ABL would have the exact same opinion on everything were he alive now. One simple example comes to mind from Fr H letter the indult, to which the condition of agreement with the New Mass. It does not exist anymore, just on this small point alone is a nuance, can we actually know what the Archbishop would say about this small difference?  Fr H has probably spent little time thinking about things which are happening now, which is quite frankly quite telling. Life is rarely paint by numbers
