Sungenis, again

According to Mark Shea, Robert Sungenis has been attacking Jewish convert to the Faith and author of Salvation is From the Jews, Roy Schoeman, as a 'Judaizer'. The attack goes a good bit farther even than that. See Mark Shea, "Bob Sungenis Outdoes Himself." Shea writes:
The last time Bob indulged himself in a reckless and irresponsible attack on the Jews, he simply disappeared loads of text he had downloaded from Nazi and White Supremacist sources without apology, once his sources were exposed....

However, this being Lent, I am hoping for better. I am hoping (and praying) Bob will finally emerge from the bunker, stop declaring all critics to be Judas Iscariot, stop casting himself as a persecuted prophet and applying messianic psalms to himself, admit that he is acting with gross injustice toward both Jews in general and, in particular, towards his brother Roy and repent. Anti-semitism (and slanderous manufactured quotes in support of it) is a sin like any other, not a bold prophetic stance. But like any other sin, it can be forgiven, if repented. My hope is that Bob will finally admit that he's behaving outrageously, recognize that his friends remain his friends and are not Judases, and find something to do with his time besides continue to sink further into this quagmire.
