I know Doug, have had lunch with both he and his wife. Brilliant scholar, Humble man. But for the life of me I have no idea, what happened to him. The only thing I can sense is that he saw his shot at the supremes and he compromised himself. His reward for this? Malta. I feel so deeply sad for him. It goes to show you that there is a difference between intelligence and wisdom.
Doug was deceived by the spirit of anti-christ and is now considered to be a heretic or schismatic by many in the Church. I personally believe he should be publically rebuked by Rome and excommunicated if he does not submit to discipline. Doug cannot serve two masters without hating one of the other. God’s word teaches about people like him calling them “double-minded” and who are unstable in their ways.
