Sungenis has published a handful of things that an increasingly vocal group of detractors have denounced as anti-semitic. Now, some of their complaints are nonsense, but others have merit. Sungenis has, for instance, made a habit of questioning these detractors as to whether or not they have Jewish ancestory. That just isn’t a good idea.

This has all significantly weakened Sungenis’ apostolate at a time when he should be riding high. He is dogged across the internet by people who pounce on his every statement looking for anything that can be construed as anti-semitic. And sadly, some of his statements certainly seem to fit the modern mold of what an anti-semitic statement is.

There’s an anti-Sungenis website all about this: http://sungenisandthejews.blogspot.com/

Sungenis should drop posting and speaking about anything related to modern Jews. And those watching his every move should just give the guy a break.

Sungenis is a great apologist. I would hate for him to be remembered for his mistakes or for what his detractors say about him.

I would look at http://wquercus.com/sungenis/ and http://www.sungenisandthejews.com, too.

I don’t know what things vlad is talking about that are ridiculous. But there’s more than a handful of things that are bad news from him when it comes to Jews.

The man wouldn’t back off and put up hundreds (literally) of articles and Q-As over the past couple of years attacking Jews for everything imaginable.

I'm very glad to see him respond this way to this bishop. I had been hoping for this, and his humility here is to his credit. Some of his work has been very good, and I hope that he can continue to serve the Church as he has been doing. These two issues (alleged anti-Semitism and geocentrism) have made me hesitant to recommend to others his better works, and that's a shame. But this is an excellent sign.
