It seems so many people have a hard time believing that James Alfantes and company could doing something so sinister and so abnormal, regardless of what the evidence shows. This is because they are looking at the evidence with a bias towards normalcy.

Here's another way to look at the evidence without that lens.

Imagine you live in a country where it is illegal to practice Christianity and overall, little is known about Christianity and the Church among the population.

You discover a man that owns a Pizzeria on a block. He shares instagrams that includes many pictures of people holding wet haired babies next to baptism basins, rooms filled with pew with stained glass windows. Several of the hashtags include things like “#worshiproom, #livingwater” or “#sacrament1, and #HeisRisen”.
Bands with names like “Loaves and Fishes” play regularly at this pizzeria. The images on these bands' websites and videos include pictures of bread and wine, paintings of people with halos around their heads, and rosaries. The Avatar for the pizzeria owner is the head of an unknown statue. After researching about this statue, you learn it is from Christian figure St. Paul. This business owner has another business called "The Carpenter Followers." Later on, you learn the founder and God of this church was a carpenter.

Along the block, there are several other businesses that use a cross, a fish drawing, or a dove for their logo.

If you were investigating this business owner, you would not if he indeed had church services at that location, you would not know who was baptized by this man or his peers, you would not know if communion took place at the pizzeria. Nonetheless, based on the evidence, you would probably have a very good idea that this man and his connections are probably very enthusiastic Christians.
