    I’ve not read ( indeed haven’t heard of him until your post) Barruel and tend to dismiss satanic panic types out of hand, in general.

    Yes, that Duquette, and I’m not familiar with him exaggerating, but I’m definitely interested in any material about that you care to provide. He does make a living on book sales, after all, so there’s definitely room for incentive. I stumbled across both him and Hall quite accidentally and incidentally, in my wanderings. He’s funny and entertaining.

    Hall is definitely… interesting, with an interesting backstory. He also made a living selling books, so he also had incentive to exaggerate and take liberties.

    Still, in looking into what the two I mentioned had to say on the subject, I couldn’t disprove it. I’m interested in anything you can point me toward, and grateful for it.
