I stopped saying the Breviary (the Roman Catholic Church's official prayer for clergy)

In the context of this paragraph, this sounds a bit odd. The breviary is also known as the Psalter. It's mostly psalms, the Gospel, epistles and some Old Testament readings.

and the Rosary

The Rosary is a means of contemplating the Gospel, or so I'm told.

and began to pray using parts of the Bible itself. This was a very slow process. I did not know my way through the Bible and the little I had learned over the years had taught me more to distrust it rather than to trust it.

He must not have been paying attention during Mass. A couple of years of Mass and you hear most of the Bible and a lot of the prayers are direct quotes from Scripture.

And who is the terrible person who taught him to distrust the Bible? What a villain!

This site is notorious for presenting individuals masquerading as former Catholic priests. Thankfully, their stories are so full of obvious falsehoods the frauds are easy to spot.

Really sad that people would stoop to such lows to trash Catholics.

For those of you who are in doubt of the authenticity of this man's Catholicism and holy orders I believe your best bet would be to contact him directly.

I am sure he would be glad to answer any question you may have for him. His contact email address is at the top right of this page:
