Michael Voris has made a painful admission of the sins of his past life (see Louie's thoughts on it here).
My first comment: Ye who is without sin, throw the first stone.
Concerning the allegation that someone in the Diocese is preparing to smear his name
Here's the difference between calumny and detraction from the Catholic Encyclopedia:
Detraction is the unjust damaging of another's good name by the revelation of some fault or crime of which that other is really guilty or at any rate is seriously believed to be guilty by the defamer.
An important difference between detraction and calumny is at once apparent. The calumniator says what he knows to be false, whilst the detractor narrates what he at least honestly thinks is true. Detraction in a general sense is a mortal sin, as being a violation of the virtue not only of charity but also of justice. It is obvious, however, that the subject-matter of the accusation may be so inconspicuous or, everything considered, so little capable of doing serious hurt that the guilt is not assumed to be more than venial. The same judgment is to be given when, as not unfrequently happens, there has been little or no advertence to the harm that is being done. (source)
So those who are going to release the information are committing the sin of detraction.
Why would they do so?
Perhaps because he once sinned as they do and turned away from the path.
Something to consider as they throw stones.
Instead they should repent and sin no more.
