Your thoughts in this thread would be interesting.

Sobran made my skin crawl, but he is a cautionary tale. He demonstrated the extreme danger of intellectual pride. Like Sobran probably did, I consider myself an adherent not just of Catholicism but also of traditional Catholic culture.

It would be easy to assume that this would inoculate you from theological, moral and intellectual enormities.

But pride is insidious and it can take a solidly grounded Catholic and make him into a sedevacantist cultist, a vicious anti-Semite and a mentally unhinged Shakespeare conspiracy theorist. Exploring his thinking over the past two decades would be an exercise in teratology.

I hope he was given the grace of clarity in his last moments.
