Initially, I said your parable sank at the dock. Having read yur response, I now think it fell apart in the boatshop during initial construction. You need to reread what he wrote.
No credibility? When Bishop Bruskewitz wrote the preface to Hand's Series in "The Wanderer," did he count as one with credibility?
Hand goes out of his way to be balanced. ANYONE can go and read TCR and see you charges are without merit. I don't know what happened between you two, but it has caused you to lose any critical thinking/judgement re his website.
I ask any Freeper to go to www.TCRnews.com and cite for me ONE piece by Hand that even gets within a galactic distance of being as you describe them. Better yet, YOU do it. Substantiate your charge.
Get a grip
Read this article above. One need not go to TCRNews.com to substantiate the charge. Here is Hand's title:
When The Pope's Friends Walk Away
Here is the opening paragraph:
A number of disturbing reports are heard lately that some of the Holy Father's former friends are in danger of collapsing in the storms; collapsing into the chaos of selective obedience, into the dangers of private judgment's non sequiturs. Michael Rose is trucking with pope-bashers and marketing his books through them, Robert Sungenis is rashly attacking the Pope on Assisi, Patrick Madrid is selling his books at a notorious pope-trashing website and giving "exclusive" excerpts to that site which also peddles the works of the worst schismatics
For God's sake, read what Hand is saying here.
He just said that Robert Sungenis and Pat Madrid, two of Catholicism's premier apologists, are former friends of the Pope and have walked away from JPII.
He calls web sites and their operators "pope-trashing schismatics."
Sorry, you've hitched your wagon to the wrong star, CG. I stand by what I said. Hand is just as bad as those he rashly judges.
