I STRONGLY disagree with this attack on Pablo. He may have "rough edges" as Fr. Pfeiffer has suggested, but he has performed numerous acts of charity.
A PM to Pablo to work out your differences would have been sufficient enough, but to openly blast him on a high traffic public Catholic forum is unacceptable.
In my opinion, you have just reduced Cathinfo to the level of Ignis Ardens in their wolf pack methods. They work like a pack of wolves to drive off the ones they don't like, or who have very strong arguments for the resistance.
St. Thomas Aquinas states, "Whatever is received, is received according to the mode of the receiver." I honestly have to say that I have never received from Pablo's posts any sense of rage, or bitterness, or anger that others state they receive. He rants and raves, he teases posters by intentionally holding back information to create mystery, and he is fiercely loyal to Fr. Joe Pfeiffer, but I DO NOT believe that Pablo is full of the malice that he is being accused of. So please stop.
Dear Unprofitable Servant,
I have sent 3 PMs/emails to Pablo and requested several times on the board that he stop the crazy comments. It needs to stop. I've had too many people on the fence bring up "that crazy guy Pablo" as a reason they have a hard time trusting Fr. Pfeiffer and the others. Of course, they ought not allow themselves to let this stand in the way of their evaluation of the Truth. But, by the same token, with such a difficult issue, when you have someone so closely associated with the Fathers frequently saying explosively crazy things, you can't blame people from having second thoughts.
No one wants Pablo to go and no one believes he is full of any malice. I, for one, realize that Pablo is a good man and has done a great deal of charitable works. But, he does need to stop the crazy comments because, no matter how much good he does, his crazy comments distract people from the Truth.
God Bless,
Grant
