If this guy started from the same place and ended up an evangelical Protestant, you'd call it a "great testimony" and the "work of the Holy Spirit".
But because he ended up a Catholic priest, you think it's the result of a book and a psychological disorder.
That's just really sad.

I don’t think so.
I’ve noted that ATTACHMENT DISORDER slices across all our various reference group identities.
And, it is often a root of many good and not so good life choices and affiliations.
I’ve said such things many times.

As we read, this priest says his enlightenment came from a book on Mary.
That's like comparing the encyclopedia to Grimm's fairy tales.
