Look, NYer, you are attacking a fellow freeper for simply repeating public knowledge. Self-promoters like Vere are always ready to tell you all about their past life. Several times in the past I have posted links to Vere's blog where he talks about his current lifestyle that is far from saintly. He has written many times about the debt he owes to the homosexual ex-priest who perhaps did more than anyone else to destroy the Catholic Mass.

Here is a concrete example: homosexual rapist ex-priest Fr. Huels not only taught Peter Vere everything he knows about canon law, he also pioneered the canon law practice of "making a path by walking on it." That means that you do something first, and get permission later. If everyone in the US and/or Canada is using altar girls and distributing communion in the hand, then sooner or later canon law will catch up with the practice and approve of what's being done. Huels travelled around the United States as the single most influential "liturgist" promoting precisely these practices. Meanwhile back at the rectory, he was perpetrating homosexual attacks on innocent young novices to his Servite order.

So this is the background and training that Vere represents when he writes a book like "More Catholic than the Pope." This is the factual history. Your attacks on a fellow freeper like Land of the Irish are not going to change the reality of that history.

"Here is a concrete example: homosexual rapist ex-priest Fr. Huels not only taught Peter Vere everything he knows about canon law..."

But now Vere, not the magisterium of the Church, mind you, is going to tell traditional Catholics his take on things. And people are supposed to soak all this up as the answer to modernism's unparalled reign of terror against Holy Mother Church.

Well if he was wrong about Fr. Huels, then it's more than possible he may be wrong in his book about the good people called traditional Catholics as well. It just stands to reason; guess we'll just have to wait and read it.

Here's your lay magisterium. The lay magisterium made of of lay Catholic apologists like Vere and Madrid and Keating and all the rest, who have no Holy Order, and therefore no authority or grace of office. Yet all the good Neo's of the world look to these laypeople as magisterium, while the real magisterium does nothing but turn their backs on the flock. This lay-magisterium is elected by popular vote of the so-called conservative Catholic population; here's your democratized Catholic Church coming in from an angle probably no one may have suspected.
