Steve Skojec is Bored With Traditionalism

Irenaeus said...

This isn't first time I've seen people say this about Mr. Skojec. (It is the first time I have seen "e-Celeb" said about him.)

Personally, I see 1P5 as too flashy for its own good. And now HW is gone? Well, good on her. She deserves a quiet life.

He’s a second generation Shea model. Less clunky, more loquacious, his artificial intelligence is more attuned to today’s Church, and he has spent a lot more time in conservative Catholic circles, processing their info and disseminating, although, like Shea, his Frankfurt School programming is full-on to address any concerns about anti-Semitism.

I must admit the main reason I look at Trad Catholic websites is for articles like this one sniping at fellow Trads. Let the inferno raging in the Church or the relevant parts of Galatians 5:20 take a backseat;I want further and prolonged episodes of "He Said...She Said..."

How’s it a case of hearsay? Steve just said he’s bored and needs to move on. He’s one of the most cannibalistic “trad” bloggers out there, and I rarely talk about him, but his confirmed fly-by-night status is certainly newsworthy.

I mentioned Galatians 5:20 for it's references to 'enmity, strife and dissensions'. I read what Steve Skojec wrote and while he's more than capable of defending himself, I don't think it's to be taken at all seriously though even if it was in earnest, I can't see how it should be a cause for gloating, other than maybe with certain Bennyvacantists who seem to have the knives out for him. 1P5 does sterling work and doesn't seem to be on the point of folding any time soon. Please save your (righteous) anger for those who are part of the problem in the Church, not those who are part of the solution.

1P5 is parasitic and Steve is a deeply flawed but self-appointed gatekeeper.

I’ve known him for a long time and he is a fly-by-night. You’ll see.

Tancred, how is 1P5 parasitic?

I don’t think he’s serious. He’s just filling a niche market and has identified some horses he can ride till they get tired of his BS or he gets bored and rolls on like an Arizona tumbleweed.

Moreover, I don’t think anyone, especially the laity who arrogate upon themselves a quasi-Magisterial fuzzy authority like the Benevacantists, are above reproach. I hope they do get criticized, because most of them have earned a good beating.

Do they really matter that much?

People used to accuse Evelyn Waugh of that, but his accusers usually didn’t know about the good things he did, which didn’t become widely known till long after he was dead.

He called Father Feeney a lunatic. While Father dubbed him, not without justification, a “literary convert.” I’m sure the SBC was kinder to him than he deserved. Waugh was a very imperfect man, and he had the humility to admit it, despite everything.

Another one that is angry because everyone doesn't stop in their tracks and ponder his deep insights.
He takes himself much too seriously.

Sorry, Steve, but I will not take the bait and beg you to keep blogging.

I'd like Steve to keep the 1P5 blog too. It's a good blog to get people interested in Tradition.
