We have very old Catholic Answers books in our home library. My husband had bought them before we were married. I thought they were strange for the same reasons you mentioned. They did sound anti-Catholic at times. Years later I was shocked to hear a Catholic Answers speaker talk about how images of Our Lady belong way back in a drawer in your bedroom, never to be viewed by anyone. This was at a conference in Dallas. CIC, I think... Right next to him was a life-sized statue of Our Lady heavily bedecked with white roses and other gorgeous flowers. No one questioned him about his iconoclasm. He had a booth. I confronted him there, and he changed the subject to something else which he was very confused about. J-H W had a booth next to his. I asked him to help me out. Somehow, he let it pass. That was years ago. Now finally, TBTG, you Kennedy Hall, have spoken up against them. I have been insulted by "pious people" who are very critical about those who love the TLM, and I feel so sorry for them because their minds have been closed to the truth because of personalities like those in Catholic Answers who seem to want to harm the Faith of those who would trust them.
I'm a revert. I listened to CA when I first returned to my baptismal faith and started my road to becoming a TLM-attending Catholic. I decided to avoid CA after many times encountering teaching (specifically from Jimmy Akin) that seemed to grow from an inability to give up Protestant views on certain topics dogmatically covered by the Magisterium. It was always subtle, but I lost whatever small trust I had in anything the CA people said because I believed subtle heresies were being presented. I can't have demonic infiltrations leading me astray again (as happened when I was young). CA has been off my list for many moons, and I haven't missed them.
well, at age 79, I just feel fortunate to see there was finally some substantial pushback by folks like Taylor Marshall, Kennedy Hall and the gentleman named Mr. Krasniewski, against the lies preached from the pulpit during the years immediately following that Vat 2 "ecumenical council". My question is where do we all go from here? And, should the local bishop over here in France decide to once again outlaw the Tridentine Mass, I certainly have no intention of ever attending some bogus Novus so-called mass to fulfil my Sunday obligation. And I'll tell the Lord Jesus Pantacrator and the Paraclete the same thing at the Last Judgement if I am allowed any kind of a plea.
i love this response! and to counter trent i have one simple fact about my life that as far as im concerned debunks his whole premise and it's that my "problem" was a 10-15 times a day problem when i was a N.O. Catholic but i kicked that habit since becoming an Eastern Catholic then Latin Mass Catholic for the past 5 years now. And to your point Kennedy it truly is an "everyone" problem to be fair. But praying for Trent of course to stop these ridiculous and fictional arguments levied against those whom he has labeled as "traditionalists" when we are simply just...CATHOLICS.

Fundamentalist Catholic? Is it even Catholic to be anything else?

Does Catholic Answers content still appear in The Wanderer? I'm pretty sure it did the last I looked at The Wanderer, which was ages ago.
Not sure, tbh
