It's been a while since JW broke ONE MILLION pageviews in a single month, but that's what happened in May.
In case you're wondering what people are looking for or looking at. Here are the most viewed posts for the last 30 days:
The 2014 post about the removal of Msgr. James, as Rector of the Cathedral, is normally in the top ten every month. However, this is the first time this month's top story is the top story, even though it's a post from 11 years ago.
The only thing that I can think of that's driving this sort of traffic is the frantic Neocat push to get Carmen Hernandez canonized. Story here.
It's easy to assume that the push is coming from Kiko himself, who, no doubt, is desirous of being similarly canonized, and quickly, upon his passing.
Such canonizations would seal the future for the Neocatechumenal Way as a major force in the Church for a very long time, as if it isn't already.
But why would potential canonizations for either Carmen or Kiko be drawing such viewership to JW, especially since JW hasn't been exactly complimentary to them?
Well, that's probably exactly why. All canonization processes have a "devil's advocate," someone specifically tasked with uncovering dirt and challenging the canonization.
And, as probably nowhere else in the world, the dirty inner workings of the thing that Kiko and Carmen created have been exposed here in Guam, the most significant of which is their devious protection and continued hiding of an archbishop found guilty of molesting minors by the Vatican itself.
