Michael Rose and NOR both have been known to exaggerate and calumniate, distort and bend things a tad. Yes, indeed, to bear false witness, to make unjustified accusations of heresy, false teaching and so forth.

Fr. Haley may indeed be the victim of persecution. But on the basis of NOR, Michael Rose, and RenewAmerica I would not rush to judgment.

But somehow, from your posting history and your faith in these sources, I think your mind was made up long ago and no one is going to change it.

But for me, sorry, close but no cigar. I reserve judgment because I am obligated, as a Catholic, not to indulge in rash judgment. And that applies to traditionalist and conservative Catholics too. Just because there are a lot of malfeasant liberal Catholic bishops and leaders doesn’t give us a pass on requiring sufficient and trustworthy evidence before reaching conclusions.

Pre-judgment, pre-judice is wrong no matter who pre-judges.
