I'm attempting to institute internet fast days throughout the week for exactly this reason. Not going particularly well so far, but... persistence.

Yes! Emphatically agree! Keep it up and thank you!

You are doing a great job on this. I disagree with you on many matters, especially animal cruelty. But I admire your work. I don’t really follow the Catholic press and I’m shocked about John Allen.

I share your outrage

You're doing great things! If anything this ought to expand your subscriptions. This is the highest level investigative journalism anyone is doing.

It's Open Season right now at The Pillar and there is no bag limit.

Work like this should be rewarded, not punished. Just upgraded my subscription. I encourage others to do the same.

Upgraded. Thanks for all the Pillar's hard work.

Yep. Upgraded. The Pillar is a necessity in the fight for a holier Church.

Exactly!

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing which is why the Pillar is so important.

Both my wife and I have been subscribers to the Pillar since day one for exactly this reason: faithful, independent Catholic journalism is essential to ensure that such cases are brought to light. Thank you to all the Pillar staff for your work.

Thanks for doing what you do. Unfortunately, it seems like you’re alone in this fight, but please keep fighting. If the changes necessary won’t come from within the institutional Church, they must come from without. You might be our only hope for what’s driving the change that's needed!

As one who was abused, lost family members from abuse, and witnessed the scandals unfolding in Boston as a result of aggressive journalism, I wholeheartedly THANK YOU for not ignoring the truth of this institutional infection. Prophetic voices are needed and yours is loud and clear. Subscribed today as a result of this reporting. God bless you in this courageous work. 🙏🏻

I’m so sorry for all you’ve suffered. God bless you, and I’m glad you joined the subscriber ranks!!

Thank you. And blessed be God for His mercies! He offers healing, mercy, and redemption for those who seek Him. May He cleanse our church by that same mercy!

Thank you for your crucial work on this story, and for your service to the Church!

I am so thankful to The Pillar for being seemingly the only news source taking issues of abuse in the Church seriously and for covering news in the life of the Church in a faithful and orthodox way.

I applaud your conviction to your journalistic conscience and wish more shared it. Never again means never again.

Thank you for your bravery in standing up for the truth. It can be lonely now, but the rewards are everlasting!

Please keep up the good work. This evil MUST be purged from our beloved Church.

Wait, you've lost subscribers over your coverage of the Principi case? I didn't think that many subscribers were at the Secretariat of State in the first place ... do you have a new friend of the Pillar?

Expand full comment

I don't believe Dr. Condon asserts that the drop in subscribers is *because* of the coverage of the case. I haven't seen evidence that the two are related.

thank you!
