Oh, he could be faking it, right? Good point. Very shrewd of you. Come to think of it, so could you. Since Pete vere doesn't get a free pass, why should you? I ask only for information.
There's a difference. I've not been given a free pass. As a traditionalist, I have to back up everything I state with facts, references, sources etc. And as futile as it seems at times, Catholic doctrine.
And in the end, the blind still don't want to see. They have faith in something other than the Catholic Faith. It's a diabolical disorientation.
