I don’t dispute his dispute. 😄

Conte, and these reporters of the event, were not there to see anything, firsthand. I think my source’s source-information was imperfect, as well, for sure.

There’s nothing academically or theologically that is very certifiable on Conte, other than he is a layman and as far as I checked, on google, it was he alone who provided it.

I copied one complaint among his more general assertions, here:

” WARNING: Do not Trust Ronald L. Conte’s Catechism of Catholic Ethics

While trying to discern my Faith and morality, I have used google to perform some research about Catholic teachings on sexual ethics in marriage, etc. I believe this is a very common search for questioning young people who have questions about the faith in this aspect of life. This website is one of the first google results if you google “Catholic Sexual Teaching” or “Catholic Sexual Ethics.”

It is a website known as www.catechism.cc. This is deceptive as it is NOT an approved church document. It is not the Catechism of the Catholic Church, as it advertises. It is the “Catechism of Catholic Ethics”, a compilation written by a man named Robert L. Conte. He claims to be a lay Catholic theologian with a bachelor’s in philosophy and theology. However, he teaches as if authoritatively, but in a very deceptive way.

This particular page makes claims that directly refute the teachings of the Theology of the Body. “....

Time will surely reveal the veracity of this story. 🤔.
