During the lawsuit brought against them by Eric Hoyle, the Conciliar Benedictines (the chapter in Rome) admitted that all those who professed to live by the Rule of St. Benedict can truly be called Benedictines. 
So Brother Taylor Marshall would be good to go if he professed to live by the rule of a Third Order?

Sure, they can call themselves lay Benedictines (or oblates).  But Benedictine Monks?  Nope.  Benedictine Monastery?  Nope.  Those are both canonical terms and can't just be self-impose.  If it were, then I could become a monk today and turn my house into a moastery too.

Ladislaus,

What is the population of the MHFM "monastery" this year? Is it still just the 2? (Fred and Bob)?

Let's be honest.  Those who refer to them disrespectfully as "Fred and Bob" are not doing so out of principle but due to the contempt they have for the positions taken by the Dimond Brothers or other personal animosity.

I'll be honest. I'm always honest.

I excoriate the Dimond Brothers for their public personal sins, particularly against the unity of the Mystical Body of Christ (a.k.a. "schism") by their Pharasaism and schismatic tendency to hack and slash at the Mystical Body of Christ, excommunicating all and sundry who disagree with them.

As a lifelong Traditional Catholic, and someone who is very fervent for the cause, the Dimond Brothers represent a mortal enemy to the common good and general unity of the Traditional Catholic movement -- my personal crusade, if ever I had one.

Everything I stand for is about NOT dividing Traditional Catholics needlessly. Hence why I come down so hard and mercilessly on wolves like Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, the Dimond Brothers, Fr. Cekada, and other "sowers of new doctrine" who try to divide and separate the flock into individual sheep -- so they can be easily picked off later.

Yes, I feel very strongly about that. I wouldn't call it a "personal animosity" -- more like righteous indignation, and a RATIONAL animosity. It's reason, not emotion, that makes me oppose them. I've never even met them. Just their ideas. And those ideas bear the sulfurous, foul odor of the Evil One.

"Judge a tree by its fruits"

Even when they accidentally speak the truth, it's with such BITTER ZEAL that the whole package is useless, and is better to throw the whole thing away. The Truth might be rare, but it's not hard to find outside their foul apostolate. There are countless books, websites, priests, bishops who speak the whole truth today. We don't need to dig in the sewer through human waste, hoping someone swallowed a coin here and there. We're not THAT desperate.

And again, Ladislaus I'll throw it right back at you -- I think YOU are defending the Dimond Bros just because they agree with you on EENS etc. and you apparently feel isolated and lacking in such allies.

That would be like me getting upset when people attack Eric Dubay for his New Ageism, anti-Catholicism, and various blasphemies -- just because he speaks the truth on vaccines, public school, the government, the Jews, the Illuminati, flat earth, etc.

Yes, Dubay is an excellent teacher on a few SELECT subjects, but I'm not going to defend him completely. If a fellow Catholic were turned off by his other crap, and didn't want to listen to him AT ALL, I would understand. There are other sources of truth on vaccines, cօռspιʀαcιҽs, etc. It's not like Eric Dubay is a "lone voice" on these truths. He just has some very well put together videos -- if you carefully select them (he's talking on the right subject!)
But I admit I'm sifting his videos. He's hit and miss (probably about 50% miss, to be honest).
