He used to be a reliable traditionalist Catholic, before it was cool to be one. The way he would go after
Mark Shea,
Scott Hahn, and
Fr. Dwight Longenecker was quite admirable and very clever.
What is he doing now?

| Arturo's blog is here |
Is this a classic case of
Perenialism of which even
Dr. John Rao was accused? Those of us who have been on traditionalist mailing lists for a while probably recall
Larry's Books. Fifteen to twenty years ago, he was selling a strange mix of books on topics pertaining to Naziism,
German Militaria, Hinduism, and Traditional Catholicism.
Arturo became a Communist. He tried to invent a Catholicism he could enjoy aesthetically in Mexican Folk Religion. Maybe real Mexicans ruined it for him?
ReplyDeleteHe had a child die I believe.
ReplyDeleteHe never left Communism behind.
ReplyDeleteKid died
ReplyDeleteHis faith was probably dead before that happened.
ReplyDeleteSon died. Baby. In his arms, I think. Maybe. He wrote about it once.
ReplyDeleteThat is the strangest religion blog I have ever skimmed. Why isn’t he writing for Patheos?
ReplyDeleteIf you want something in the way of really weird, try Zuhlsdorf's blog and he's got the scam down to a fine art too.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Zuhlsdorf is another scam artist dressed in a biretta. Review his blog to see how he promotes Acton Institute and Father Robert Sirico. A quick search on Robert Sirico's background will leave you speechless.
DeleteVery sophisticated con artists who claim to love the Latin Mass while pulling in the $$$.
I don’t think Arturo was scamming.
ReplyDeleteLooks that he has converted to Hinduism.
ReplyDeleteDead baby, dead faith. Sounds like a good blog post title. Also isn't the biggest scam artist of them all right now Taylor Marshall? How does he get so rich? Also, did you ever do anything on his Pachamama scam?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out!
