    @Soyweiser He’s also oddly reluctant to disclose in his polemic that his ongoing association with Oxford is as a research fellow at the tiny Blackfriars Hall, which is a combination Dominican friary and heavily Catholic college. Not wholly out of the question that the post is funded by, you know, “a group of concerned individuals”.

      Tradcaths gonna tradcath, but it’s interesting he feels he can reach the EA audience with his views.

      He also went on a ‘why I changed my mind on abortion’ video. ‘changed your mind’ sure buddy. I’d hope at least that his association with friars makes it very unlikely he actually pipebombs anything, he also didn’t seem (in looking at his socials for like 5 minutes) to be the stochastic terrorism promoter type.

        Pipebombs are more of an evangelical thing. Catholics prefer to use legal evil to block abortion access.
