If he's a "flake," he's a flake who's one of the senior members of the theology faculty at one of the few orthodox Catholic colleges left in the US. He's also a flake who's foudned an apostolate to encourage Catholics to study Scripture. He's also a flake who produces some of the best Bible study tapes around. He's also a flake who has a regular television show on EWTN ... I guess that makes them a bunch of flakes as well. He's also a flake whose work has done a lot for my own faith.
C'mon, Harley: Protestant apologists are going to trash Dr. Hahn because they consider him a traitor. Schismatic traditionalist Catholics are going to trash Dr. Hahn because he isn't one of them, and doesn't hew to the "Vatican II ruined the Church" line. I guess if he's disliked by both the "Catholicism is anti-Christ" crowd and by the "Vatican II is crypto-Protestantism" crowd, that makes him either a flake ... or a Catholic.
Come to think of it, I'd be honored if you'd conclude that I'm a flake, too.
