You are making many allegations, VinnyF. I realise you find it hard to see criticism of Fr Pfluger and Krah but this thread has been dealing with facts until your unwelcome arrival with a red herring.

Does VinnyF believe the letter is "internet rumour"?

I am not debating that. Your premise is that it sounds just like Krah and the original posting in this thread is that the "smoking gun" had been discovered buried in the header of this docuмent that absolutely linked it to Krah. And I am telling you that the "smoking gun" evidence was fabricated - that's all, just stating a fact.

So let's summarize, Vinny. You're saying that the letter to Bp. W is authentic enough. It is not a fabrication. It was authored by 1st Asst. Fr. Pfluger in German, and sent to the bishop around Dec. 27, 2010. You have no problem accepting that. Where you hang up is at the point where it is alleged that there was coorperation between MK and Pfluger in the preparation of the letter. You're disputing the 'MK28' tag "buried in the header of this docuмent," which absolutely links it to Krah. That's frabricated evidence, you say. That alleged link does not hold up under closer scrutiny, you say. But the letter itself is the real deal. It was written and sent by Fr. Pfluger. But there is no proof that Krah collaborated in the writing of it. Right?

Yes.

Since I have not seen anything to the contrary from Fr. Pfluger or Bishop Williamson, I accept that this letter went from Fr. Pfluger to Bishop Williamson.

I don't know if the letter is the real deal or if anything else has been tampered within it but I have no reason to doubt it at this point.

From a purely technical perspective, I would NEVER send a letter to anyone as a Word docuмent which can be easily altered at will. That is completely ridiculous and I would have doubted that anyone, in this day age, and in this particularly heated situation, would have done it. Particularly a letter like this. I would have made a PDF version and sent that. It is almost impossible to tamper with that sort of docuмent. If Fr. Pfluger sent Bishop Williamson a .docx letter attached to an email, then he was at least foolish in that respect.

When it becomes evident that one is creating false evidence to back up your theories and opinions, it makes your position less credible to those "on the bubble", so to speak.

Can you expand on what you mean? Who is the "your" and what are the theories and opinions? And as you direct this to me, state where I said Krah wrote this?

I should have used "one's" instead of "your". I wasn't speaking to your personal opinion - I was speaking of whomever needed to doctor the docuмent to give his opinion more credibility.
