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.

Humility? I don’t know about that. Maybe. You’d hope so. But he admitted he couldn’t get any imprimaturs on his books because of his Jewish views. And when a bishop gives you a directive to cease something that’s serious business. Could you imagine if they told him he couldn’t use the name “Catholic” on his apostolate anymore?

How many people told him to do the same thing for years? But it took an order from the bishop before he finally did it.

I found it disturbing how he used the name of the Catholic Church to spread his anti-Semitism. I don’t call it alleged anti-Semitism. It was pretty blatant, imo.

I think this is an excellent development too. Perhaps his new books will get those imprimaturs (although I don’t know if it was unfair to deny them in the past considering that none of his books had anything to do with the controversy surrounding him).

I have five of his books. They are all excellent.
