Was his lousy scholarship related to his unwillingness to bow the knee to images of Mary (or her supposed likeness), offer her (it?) prayers and flowers, and many similar man-made traditions your pope and followers do?
Or were his “malicious” habits similar to those who go around slandering the recently deceased?
Why would one be so opposed to honoring the Mother of Our Lord? Common sense tells you that He would appreciate it.
It's time to backstroke on the false umbrage or recognize the truth which is that Hunt was a plagiarizing, anti-Catholic, faux scholar, who changed what he preached as the truth a half dozen times in the past thirty years to fit changes in the market.
Hunt regurgitated the lies and fantasies of Alexander Hislop which proves Hunt wasn't even honest much less a scholar.

His lousy scholarship concerned his shoddy understanding of history, scripture, philosophy, and science. Other than that he was fine.

It’s not slander if it’s true. I spoke the same truth about him when he was very much alive. The death of a man is not give an end to speaking the truth about him.
