Posting without comment - at least for now. Sadly, Church Militant was pretty much "The Michael Voris Show". In this thicket of horribleness that is the modern-day Catholic Church, I operate on the principle of "no enemies on the Right" and "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". That's just Realpolitik. I liked CM far more than I disliked it, and I was willing to overlook such things as their mindless opposition to the SSPX. We are all pulling in the right direction, and we could do worse than follow the example of the political Left, and bundle this group's grievances and that one into a tower of strength, such that we are all pulling in basically the same direction with different ropes. That is why I do not oppose sedevacantists (though I do not entirely agree with them, and when you've met one sede, you've met one sede, they differ sharply amongst themselves) on the one hand, and "conservative Novus Ordo" people who are convinced that the 1969 Missal fell from heaven with bells on and demands our single-minded support on the other. The real adversaries are the forces of heterodoxy, heresy, and liturgical shenanigans (which you don't have in the TLM, one reason of many that I prefer it, to paraphrase Forrest Gump, "you always know what you're gonna get", a great comfort when traveling in an unfamiliar diocese and seeking out a Sunday Mass), and ultimately the forces of evil that inspire them. When Michael came out as a repentant former sodomite, and pledged himself to a life of penance and absolute continence, he had no bigger supporter than me. But as they say down South, he "backslid". Any of us, tormented by the same internal demons, might do likewise. As time went by, something about him just seemed a bit "off", and my suspicions were confirmed. He has no place in the apostolate. At least Milo is possibly the most obviously gay man I've ever seen in my life, but so far as I am aware, he has not fallen into any sodomitical behavior since his public conversion. For that, I can grudgingly tolerate his prissy dress and mannerisms.

I did not like the site, so I'm fighting the sin of Schadenfreude here. Anger is one of many forms of suffering, so what the man really needs is prayer.
