Wikipedia claims that in his capacity as head of the Augustinian order he refused to remove an SA priest from his position. I have no idea if that is true but I can confirm at least that said SA allegations against that priest are true:

At the risk of doxxing myself - the accusations against father McGrath are at least accurate. I have no idea whether this guy actually refused to remove McGrath from his position so take that what you will

I know I shouldn't be surprised but these numbers are staggering. Even the group of buddies I grew up with, half of which have shitty opinions, wouldn't agree with this shit. I think there's something to be said on men challenging men on their dogshit beliefs or at least not sitting by silently that impacts this. To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and even to hear counter-revolutionary remarks without reporting them, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened. This is a sixth type.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Couldn't get through a single section without tearing up. Death to Israel

while losses like these are large and indicative of poor lending practices for mortgages, there was more at play for the 2008 market implosion. It wasnt just defaults on mortgage-backed securities, but the widespread failure (fraud imo) of rating agencies giving these MBS good ratings, the trillions of dollars of derivatives betting on those false ratings, and the failure (fraud imo) of regulatory bodies to identify and mitigate any of this. A mortgage crisis is surely happening but i doubt the fallout will be anywhere near 2008. but i stopped paying attention to financial regulatory policy in the early trump years after he undid the measly measures obama put in place post-crisis so your guess is as good as mine
