By all means criticise Bricker’s stance in general as being ridiculous, but he does have integrity.

He actually believes this. This is a hilarious thing to believe. But he has the guts to stick his head up above the parapet and own his delusional ideas. He is far better than most of the equivicoaters who try to justify their insanity.

There is a paradox here I suppose. Bricker is a very decent, intelligent man with shedloads of integrity - yet with utterly horrific ideas. And I believe that those ideas come are not ones that he has reasoned himself into. They ultimately come from the mother church.

This is why catholicism is evil. You should all be sympathising with Bricker and working towards the downfall of that evil religion, for when it is destroyed Bricker, freed from the shackles of popish hatred, will still be a decent and intelligent man - but now he’ll be an ally 🙂
