Thanks for your reply.

My primary flag is her staying hidden, other aspects just make that all the more suspicious. As to:

Would you, if there were such inflammatory issues involved?

If I was going to make it a major part of my life, yes, I'd be public about it. I don't see what you're seeing here.

If preaching against Catholicism were that dangerous, half the Protestant Preachers would be undercover. We see it and hear this stuff all the time; in some degree it's inherent in a great deal of protestant theology and sermons - that's where protestant came from after all. I don't see the danger here, honestly. I think there's a longer history of frauds like this than there are of any harm done to public conversion and denouncing of Catholicism.

It stands out that this person has made a work out of this: books, websites, amazon commissions. It would only help their career - and their message - to add speaking engagements, interviews, media appearances, book signings, etc. That's what most, all in my experience, do who make such an effort to promulgate a message, whether with good or not so good intentions.

Yet this person has not responded to any attempt to corroborate their existence. Even so paranoid a recluse as Howard Hughes found a way.

I'm pretty confident on this one; I'd bet $100 they aren't who they claim.

Thanks again for your reply and the thread, it's an interesting mystery to me. If you ever find anything new.

best regards...

Yes sir, I do see what you are saying, as to her staying hidden, raises a flag.

It very well could be, as can be reasonable enough in these circumstances to guess;

"it stands out that this person has made a work out of this: books, websites, amazon commissions. It would only help their career - and their message - to add speaking engagements, interviews, media appearances, book signings, etc."

Indeed, that may the real truth, in that this person may not have even been novice at all, and is spinning this tale for gain of the filthy luchre. In which case we could see again, "The love of money being at the root of all evil."

If indeed it were but a masquerade in order to make money, than I myself regard those types of motivations to be most despicable.

If on the other hand the motivations were pure enough, according to the dictates of their own conciense, and they were merely expressing and working at the sharing of their own "true belief", then even if can be thought wrong in some other way...it would be something other than detestible, at least in my own eyes.
