I actually do believe that there has been an active ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ network within the SSPX. Those who are part of it will in fact cover up for each other. That is the very nature and purpose of their network.
But Voris is trying to leverage this into an attack on the entire Traditional Catholic movement.
These ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs have infiltrated many organizations. Their existence within the SSPX does nothing to de-legitimize Traditional Catholicism any more than their existence within the Catholic Church in general de-legitimize what the Church stands for.
Voris is doing the same thing that all the enemies of the Church are doing. He's taking this and leveraging it into a broader attack. Many anti-Catholic Prots are whipped up in a fury about the priestly pedophile scandal and use it as ammunition for why the theological claims of the Catholic Church are false. Pay no attention to the fact that statistics indicate that the incidence of abuse among Prots and even Rabbis is JUST AS HIGH as among Catholic priests, but the media in focusing on attacking the Church. And, at the same time, the media attack the Church for being anti-gαy. So the Church MUST allow ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs into the priesthood, but then is held accountable when these ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs start raping boys.
THIS is my problem with Voris. He's clearly using this as an attack on Traditional Catholicism IN PRINCIPLE. That is completely dishonest.
Now, if he wanted to use this as a way to help root out the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs from the SSPX, that would be a great service. But he's having the opposite effect.
In his interview with Gordon, I could almost detect a glee in Voris' voice and expression regarding the tragic case of Michael Gonzales. There was almost an undercurrent of, "yes, I got them with this. This is some ammunition to use against them." ... almost to the point that he comes across as happy that it happened. It's like he was rubbing his hands together as he spoke of it.
