Gerard is mentally incapable of engaging in disciplined, systematic theological discussion. He replies to properly formulated arguments with mere dogmatic assertions which do not directly address the point demonstrated in the argument presented to him; and with mere ad hominem statements which underscore his incapacity to engage in rational discussion by means of systematically reasoned arguments. Gerard gratuitously pontificates like a self appointed authority, with a great profusion of assertions which are based on merely assumed and unstated premises; with no attempt made to systematically demonstrate his position with reasoned argumentation that directly addresses the point that has been presented to him. Thus, his arguments are without logical foundation, and are easily shown by one with a classical scholastic theological academic training to be fallacious and erroneous. Yet, he obstinately clings to his unfounded and unproven opinions even when the flawed logic of his thinking has been plainly put before him; and he continues to insist that he is right,and that the correctness of his strongly held opinions is demonstrated and underscored by the force of his adamantly repeated assertions. His lack of formal, systematic theological training is patent in every one of the multitude of errant comments he asserts with a bold self assurance that betrays himself to be utterly oblivious of his own intellectual incompetence. It is a fools chore to argue with one who flaunts in such a crass manner, an immense ignorance and bigotry, thinly disguised as erudition by means of elaborations of profuse verbosity which unravel when subjected to the scrutiny of critical examination.

Additional comment of Fr.Kramer with regards to his pronouncement that Gerard of FE is a Public Sinner

Fr.Kramer's comments below:


Gerard is a public sinner guilty of sacrilege for falsely accusing a priest of heresy -- and yes, I do have the theological competence to make that judgment. No jurisdiction is required for a priest with pontifical degrees to condemn the sins of evildoers.

As an impartial observer, never having read anything by GFE or Fr. Kramer on the subject they are discussing (what is the subject?), this entire thread is an ad-hominem attack. Stick to the subject, whatever it is.

Thank you for working through this, Servus Pius, with Fr. Kramer. This interminable drivel of GFE had to be stopped (not that, knowing him, it will actually "stop" him).  If you go to down thumb him you get a defensive query asking why you don't pray for him instead (as though you aren't...).  When I asked him a while back if he was a "plant" - an infiltrator - (he is no trad) - what I got from him in return was a spittle-laden tissue of insults.  He is at least of bad will - which actually is the nicest thing you can say about him.

Thank you for your kind comments Merry.  Your experience with Gerard reinforces the fact that he is a deeply conceited person.  He thinks he is always right while others are always wrong even when arguing against a well trained Traditionalist Priest such as Fr.Kramer.

I enjoy a spirited discussion just as much as the next guy.  And while I understand that Fr. Kramer may have been crass at times in his replies to Gerard, I also understand why he was.  I was always taught to converse with respect and measured tones when speaking with a priest, even if the priest was wrong, crass, verbally abusive, or even heretical in his position.  This is out of respect, if not for the person, then certainly for the office.

I wonder, however, if during this entire exchange, how Gerard would fare here if, instead of Fr. Kramer, the priest in question was another resistance priest, such as Fr. Voigt, or Fr. Zendajas.

Gerard has been nothing if not energetic in arguing that old women and others can go to the New Mass, that it's not sinful, etc.  If that's his position, and he wants to defend it, that's one thing.  My problem, and clearly the problem of many on this board, is that Gerard goes much further than that.  He lays the foundation that the revolution itself is legitimate.  But he doesn't do this systematically, logically.  He contradicts what his opponent says, inserts his own opinion and presents it as a fact, adds a number of additional points that divide and perry the opposition's response, and then does it again, and again, and again, overwhelming most normal people's time and patience.  The majority on this board will make our case, argue and banter back and forth, and then move on.  Gerard, on the other hand, doesn't do this.  He's relentless in his exonerating the revolution.

My concern is that after reading Gerard's posts, his arguments that the Novus Ordo is simply "weak" yet absolutely legitimate, that Paul VI and Bugnini had "good intentions", that ecuмenism is Catholic, that modernism isn't a heresy, etc., he presents a serious danger to the weak-willed or neophyte trad.  Many here clearly see through his arguments and his mode of arguing and write him off.  Over time, however, this board will change, and Gerard has made no effort to hide the fact that this is his intention.

1) this assumes that Father(?) Kramer is actually a priest

2) anyone can charge someone else of having made a heretical proposition ... now whether the person has committed a sin of heresy is a matter of the internal forum, and whether someone has been guilty of the crime of heresy is a juridical matter.

He's always bragging about his Novus Ordo "pontifical degrees", which aren't worth the paper they're printed on.  And it's a good thing that no jurisdiction is required, since Father doesn't have any.  So it's OK for Father Kramer to consider Gerard a public sinner because of aforementioned degrees, but not OK for Gerard to say that he's made a heretical utterance.

If you remove Father Kramer from the debate, all that has been credited to Gerard is all true. So let us not be diverted simply because another person, priest or no, has put forth his opinions.

The fellow is not a Traditional Catholic. He has proven over many pages and months that he is a dedicated conciliar/indult apologist and determined to inject the modernist conciliar narrative into the discussion and undermine the principals  which Traditional Catholic have put in place to expose the New religion and its false ritual, and more importantly to protect Tradition itself from the revolutionary ideas and practices of the false council.

Add to that the fact that he has been abusive and downright nasty to anyone who does not accept his propositions. You will also notice in his recent posts that he is quite proud of how he does things and enjoys doing them.

Anyone who disputes this can inspect the Mohopac thread and other where he has posted and see that this is by and large a true description.

He is a very disruptive character.

Yes IHSV- and specifically his modernist attack on the True Mass and his defense of the Novus Ordo.  Consistent, relentless, mindless. The temptation he is to the weak or ill-informed, as you have said, to keep them in or attending the Novus Ordo... showing up like a giant glom of a wet  blanket to take over this or that thread with his errors, and apparently not to be stopped.  It made you wonder - not so much that he evidently had enormous amounts of free time, but that it was allowed.  Guess he had no audience at Fish Eaters. May God have mercy on us all.  Jesus, meek and humble of Heart ....
