He is a 'former' satanist, who became an sspx-er, then indult, then charismatic. I think his first incarnation is the dominant one, especially in the charisms manifest in the other repeated 're-inventions' of himself.

Oh yes, that's correct. Vere has written repeatedly about his debt to his mentor who has now been defrocked as an admitted homosexual abuser. "Adoremus" wrote about how Vere's ex-priest homosexual mentor was a one-man wrecking crew destroying the Catholic liturgy all across the United States from his base in Canada.
