I don't believe that Voris/Niles are stupid. They surely are able to prove that they indeed were told what they say they were told.

Sometimes malice can get the better of one's judgement.  They made insinuations against both Father Ken Novak and even Archbishop Lefebvre that were clearly unprovable and entailed speculation on motives.

Voris had better be careful in casting stones against "perverts" and alleged perverts, given that the fact that he too was a pervert and undoubtedly still has perverted inclinations.  As Father Ken Novak was quoted as putting it in the video, "people like that don't change".  Just watch Voris himself have a fall due to his hypocritical arrogance.  We don't know the full extent of Voris' own past perversities, whether children were involved, etc.

This video was clearly malicious on the part of both Voris and Niles ... total journalistic garbage.  Their contempt for the Catholic Traditional movement oozed throughout the presentation.

Obviously the activity of Fr. Duverger, if true, is sinful, but apart from that the big issue is that he uses his position as confessor and spiritual director as leverage to persuade his victims to engage in the behavior.  So a penitent could be sucked in to a point until she realizes what's going on and that a line has been crossed, through a certain gradualism.  At first the reaction is confusion.  "Well, that's extremely personal and involves some graphic descriptions, but perhaps it's necessary in order to understand what's going on with my spiritual life."  It starts with stuff that's probably borderline or ambiguous and then slides over a line before the victim is aware of what's happened.

But that's not the real story here.  People are prone to sin and to falling into sin, even priests.  I'm sure that the devil tempts priests more than average lay people due to the harm he could cause through their fall.

Let's not lose the real story, the coverup and the reassignment of Fr. Duverger where he had contact with parishioners and children despite having become aware of prior similar allegations.  Fr. Wegner and Vogel both admit that Fr. D has a history, and Vogel admitted it would seem "bizarre" that he's been stationed somewhere he could have close contact with the faithful (and even children) at a school.  Vogel should be fired, and Fr. Wegner sent to a monastery and removed from any position of authority in the SSPX.

For as credible as this Jassy SEEMS to be, one could perhaps wonder whether she could have fabricated or exaggerated or distorted some things.  Taken alone, it should be with a grain of salt ... although it should be investigated.  But when there are multiple similar accusations, the amount of smoke should be understood as indicating the presence of fire.

True! Sure!

Naiveté can get the better of one's judgement, too. Never underestimate your enemies!

He's a fαɢɢօt and a follower of a false religion. But that doesn't mean he is not clever and successful in pursuing his mission.

I just clearly sensed that their vitriol against the SSPX and Traditional Catholicism in general were over-the-top evident throughout most of the video, starting with their snide comments about Traditional Catholics thinking that they're better than everyone else.

You were quoting and commenting a post of mine!

Right, I was responding to your assertion that the major accusation against Fr. Novak was cowardice.  That is not correct.  There were allegations that he deliberately broke up families with the insinuation that it was to seduce the wives.  Again, there's zero context here.  Was the husband abusing his wife and children, committing serial adultery, etc. ... without ANY context for WHY in a given situation Fr. might have LEGITIMATELY advised a wife to separate (and legally divorce) from her husband, instead implying that it was so he could get under the sheets with the wife.  This video was utter garbage.

I do not dispute that some of the information appeared credible and legitimate and needs to be looked into, but a lot of it was pure trash, right down to the implication that +Lefebvre too participated in the protection of pederasts.  Unfortunately, this clear bias makes me think that most of it needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt, that we have to sift through fact and fiction ... and this actually undermines any good the revelations might do.

I (still) think the major accusation is covering ongoing pedophilia for several years, committed by a pedophile who then was convicted for his crimes. Covering it out of cowardice.
