Call Me Jorge blog: Taylor Marshall's Opus Dei connections

    I can't vouch for the veracity of this blog, but this article has a timeline of Marshall's Opus Dei affiliations.

    Is Opus Dei trying to seem more "traditional," in that some of those who appear to have connections, such as Marshall, are trying to appear as traditional as possible to those in the conciliar church?

    Has Opus Dei always tried to appear as (fake) traditional or is it something new? Or do they just work all angles, in order to gain an infiltration into all groups?
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    ~St. Robert Bellarmine

  • I've been favorably impressed by Dr. Marshall's recent videos. His apostolate is well done. He seems zealous to promote the traditional rites and traditional devotions. I think that his family belongs to a FSSP parish, but they have received the sacraments from a SSPX priest during the coronahoax.

    At the end of the day, he has acquired a large audience and is being instrumental in leading hundreds if not thousands of Catholics to try out the traditional rites. His apostolate definitely has an attraction to it. How many Catholics are being inspired by the "callmejorge" blog to become traditionalists? My guess is very few.
    "The Blessed Eucharist means nothing to a man who thinks other people can get along without It. The Blessed Eucharist means nothing to a communicant who thinks he needs It but someone else does not. The Blessed Eucharist means nothing to a communicant who offers others any charity ahead of this Charity of the Bread of Life." -Fr. Leonard Feeney, Bread of Life

  • I think you nailed it Megster!

    Opus judei plays all the angles.



    The objective is to get all trads under their big tent.

    One example:

    Gary Michael Voris, an Opus dei spokesman, has espoused the following positions on his "Church Militant" program:

    1. Anti-semitism is the only unforgivable sin.
    2. The h0Ɩ0h0αx is real and the German race is doomed.
    3. The (тαℓмυdic) Noahide laws are acceptable to Catholics.
    4. Opu Dei is part of Catholic authority.
    5. Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus) the core of "Feeneyism" is correct.

    Opus dei casts a wide net these days.

    One data point that I won't forget is meeting a traditional Catholic priest who had grown-up in an Opus dei family.

    He stated the Opus dei represented nothing less than Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ inside the Church.





    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

  • From his personal history, it's pretty clear, Taylor Marshall has been tied, dyed and fried in the Opus dei cult.  :facepalm:


    Our ʝʊdɛօ-masonic media needs to send us a better stealth trad pundit, who has no baggage, no official personal history.

    Try sending us a virtual, teflon trad-man, like the white/negro Obama, who had all his personal records sealed from public view.

    (It just delayed us a few months from finding-out he was a pot smoking, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ communist)

    Infiltration — Who is really doing it?


    “No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and condemn the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon.” — Matthew 6,24

    • January 2006  Marshall writes, “I’m almost finished and thus far I find St Josemaria Escriva’s theology and spirituality to be pure gold.

Without his knowing it, this rabbi opened my eyes to a connection between biblical Judaism and Catholicism. […] The rabbi explained, “We Jєωs believe that if someone is suffering and you invoke the name of his or her mother in prayer, God will be more merciful in granting your prayer for that person.” […] The rabbi’s answer was a surprising confirmation that Catholic customs are rooted in a Jєωιѕн understanding of reality.” (see pp. 1-9 ) http://newsaintthomas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/7-Sept-Crucified-Rabbi-2012.pdf

    • October 2009  Marshall writes, “Did the founder of Opus Dei prophesy the Pope's Anglican Ordinariate? In a way, yes. According to Msgr. Bill Stetson, Saint Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, visited England back in 1958. He frequented many Anglican Churches and was keen on rekindling fervor in England for the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. While visiting an Anglican Church, Saint Josemaria Escriva said in Spanish, "If we don't lend them a hand, the Christian Faith will die away in fifty years." Well fifty years later (2008) the Anglican Communion became fractured through the ordination of active ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs and by the general erosion of Christian orthodoxy. Fifty-one years later (2009) the Holy Father "lends a hand" by establishing the Anglican personal ordinariate. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Saint Josemaria had it just about right.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHZzudaWwAAA5QC?format=jpg&name=4096x4096  Original link https://taylormarshall.com/2009/10/did-founder-of-opus-dei-prophecy-popes.html

    • September 2009  Marshall publishes The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism and the Origins of Catholic Christianity. It is the book form of the talks he gave while at the Catholic Information Center.

    Jacob Neusner — Benedict XVI's favorite rabbi. Benedict told pewsitters - the rabbinic tradition of the elders (condemned by Jesus) was a valid biblical interpretation, stated Christianity grew out of rabbinic Judaism, and advocated dialogue with тαℓмυdists. http://callmejorgebergoglio.blogspot.com/2016/10/benedict-xvis-favorite-rabbi-and.html
    Mark Drogin — was a self described "athesist" Jєω convert to Novus Ordo, was President of now defunct Remnant of Israel. The Mission of Remnant of Israel was to proclaim the Jєωιѕн roots of Christianity. His mentor was Orthodox Jєω turned 'Catholic', Fr. Arthur Klyber. http://archive.is/Y64ZP
    David Moss — was born and raised Conservative Jєω (the brand of Francis' buddy, Rabbi Skorka) became Novus Ordo and founded the Association of Hebrew Catholics which pushes тαℓмυdic derangements as Catholic. Cardinal Raymond Burke is big supporter of their work.  http://callmejorgebergoglio.blogspot.com/2017/04/raymond-rabbi-attends-seder-meal.html
    Roy Schoeman — was a Jєω who was a follower of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (Chabad-Lubavitch, Rebbe Schneerson, & Meir David HaKohen Kahane) that had 'god' appear to him which led to his Novus Ordo conversion. He teaches Catholic prophecy is being fulfilled by adopting тαℓмυdic beliefs in church. https://www.catholiceducation.org/en/faith-and-character/faith-and-character/roy-schoeman-s-conversion-story.html

    N. T. Wright — an Anglican 'bishop' and teaches that Jesus was a subversive, "It is beyond question that Jesus was acting subversively" http://bit.ly/2HJTYk3 and http://bit.ly/2HJTYR5   Another philo-semite that attributes antisemitism to the New Testament. Wright writes, “The tragic and horrible later use of Mt. 27.25 ('his blood be on us, and on our children') as an excuse for soi-disant 'Christian' anti-semitism is a gross distortion of its original meaning, where the reference is surely to the fall of Jerusalem.” http://bit.ly/2HJGRzC
    Other — There are also several more connections of people mentioned to the University of Dallas, the Franciscan University of Steubenville and Opus Dei.

    The book, The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism and the Origins of Catholic Christianity, has so many things errors, heresies, and blasphemies it shouldn’t be in print. A small sample: (p. 64) Marshall  pushes the 'Association of Hebrew Catholics' and 'Remnant of Israel' as groups approved of by the church. “these two Jєωιѕн Catholic apostolates seeks to preserve Jєωιѕн identity and promote... heritage of Judaism within the Catholic Church.”; (pp. 71-2) Tevilah in a mikveh = Baptism. Before conflating the Feast of Dedication with Hanukkah, Marshall equates baptism with the insane man made rabbinical rules of what is impure and in need of a ritual bath.; (pp. 175-8) Purim & Hanukkah. Marshall informs readers that Purim is similar to Holy Days dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and that Jesus the Christ attended Hanukkah festivities even though Hanukkah originates from 600 years after the events recorded in Book of Maccabees.

    • November 2009 Marshall writes, “Alright, I have had some to read and re-read the Holy Father’s new Apostolic Constitituion Anglicanorum Coetibus. I was able to speak with Monsignor Bill Stetson today on the phone who cleared up a few ambiguities.” https://taylormarshall.com/2009/11/thoughts-on-popes-apostolic.html

    • January 2010  Marshall has guest post by Mark Drogin, the President of Remnant of Israel, whose goal is to proclaim the Jєωιѕн roots of Christianity.

    • 2011  Marshall graduates from the University of Dallas with a Ph.D. in Philosophy, on scholarship while there. His dissertation was Thomas Aquinas on Natural Law and the Twofold End of Humanity and was carried out under Fr. James Lehrberger.

    • 2011 to 2019  Marshall is a Fellow at the Saint Paul Center for Biblical Theology. Only one post remains on his website about the St. Paul Center, #086: Taylor’s Conversion Story to Catholicism – Interview with Matthew Leonard. https://taylormarshall.com/2015/08/086-taylors-conversion-story-to-the-catholicism.html  Here is Marshall listed on their website as a Senior Fellow. https://web.archive.org/web/20181015223638/https://stpaulcenter.com/academic-projects/fellows/ The St. Paul Center For Biblical Theology was founded by Scott Hahn and is located at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. It is Opus Dei.

    2012 to June 2013  Marshall is Dean of the College and Professor of Philosophy at the College of Saints John Fisher & Thomas More (aka Fisher More College) where he teaches: Logic; Philosophy of Nature (Plato, Aristotle, Porphyry, Thomas Aquinas).

He was also responsible for hiring new teachers, overseeing the headmaster and the faculty, designing the curriculum, and responsible for the Year in Faith Lecture Series, etc… (See June 2013 for resignation)

    • December 2012  In a press release from Fisher More College one reads, “Dr. Marshall was an Episcopal priest before he and his wife were received into the Catholic Church by Bishop Kevin Vann of Fort Worth on May 23, 2006. Immediately afterward, Taylor was appointed by Bishop Kevin Farrel (then auxiliary of Washington, D.C.) as the Assistant Director of the Catholic Information Center in Washington, D.C., where he lectured regularly. He served under Archbishop John J. Myers of Newark and Msgr. William Stetson for the Pastoral Provision of John Paul II, the canonical structure by which Anglican clergy are received into the Catholic Church and go on to pursue Holy Orders in the Catholic Church.” https://cardinalnewmansociety.wordpress.com/2012/12/26/catholic-convert-dr-taylor-marshall-made-chancellor-of-catholic-college/

    • June 2012  Marshall writes post, The Dress Code for the Vatican – Should it be Universal? https://taylormarshall.com/2012/06/dress-code-for-vatican-should-it-be.html But his daughters dress immodestly in social media photos he posts. http://callmejorgebergoglio.blogspot.com/2019/06/a-holy-land-pilgrimage-with-taylor.html

    • January 2013 Marshall writes, “The Latin Mass is like beer. You have to drink it in a few times to like it. My challenge would be for you to attend the Latin Mass for four Sundays in a row before making a decision. Give it that long. Here’s why: You will slowly make a shift in the way that you assist at Holy Mass. Your concept of Active Participation will transform in your heart. There is a lot of quiet “space” in the Latin Mass. The first time or so, you’ll be sitting there doing nothing and thinking, “What’s going on? Why aren’t we doing anything?” When you’ve reached that point, you’re getting close. It’s like drinking beer for the first time. “This tastes terrible? What’s the hype? I don’t understand.” But then you come to realize that beer is more than just the taste.” https://taylormarshall.com/2013/01/my-initial-doubts-about-latin-mass.html

    • January 2013  Marshall posts, Bishop Vann, My Father in Christ,  “Bishop Vann is literally the spiritual father of my wife and myself. In 2006, I was an Episcopalian priest in Fort Worth Texas and Bishop Vann counseled us tenderly as we wrestled with Christ’s call to enter the Catholic Church. I think I was the first Episcopalian priest received by Bishop Vann.” https://taylormarshall.com/2013/01/bishop-vann-my-father-in-christ.html

    • June 2013  Marshall resigns from Fisher More College and writes, “I resigned when moral, theological, and financial discrepancies came to light regarding the presidency of Michael King...Mr. King refused to disassociate himself from the public statements of faculty member Dr. Dudley that claimed in his Year of Faith lecture that Catholic professors have the duty to teach young people that Vatican 2 is not a valid Council (he also endorsed other “resistance” positions regarding the Novus Ordo, John Paul II, etc.) [...] FMC hosted a public repudiation of Vatican 2 and the Ordinary Form of the Mass in April of 2013 that was so offensive that my wife and I walked out of it before it’s conclusion...At the same time, Michael King estranged himself from the diocese of Fort Worth by not allowing the Ordinary Form (as stipulated by the previous ordinary Bishop Vann of Fort Worth). He also contracted an irregular/suspended priest without faculties, and hired “trad resistance” faculty while there was no bishop in Fort Worth to check these developments.” See link for context https://www.facebook.com/DrTaylorMarshall/posts/400180263452671  And Fisher More College’s response to Marshall  https://web.archive.org/web/20140308044158/http://fishermore.edu/statement-college-president-michael-king-re-taylor-marshall/

    • June 2013  The Troops of Saint George is founded by Dr. Taylor Marshall in order that priests, men, and young men: “experience reverent and beautiful Masses on mountaintop vistas; pray the Rosary with other men around fire pits in the freezing cold; catch a Fish Friday meal by fly fishing for trout; go to confession with our priests while kneeling on moss in the woods; teach our sons archery, rockclimbing, marksmanship, fishing, survival skills…and Catholic virtues; foster a love for the priesthood and a reverence for the sacrament of Matrimony; support our local parish, our priests, our bishops, and community by being available for works of mercy and service; Once you experience TSG you will see how we are able to transform not only individual men, but entire parishes.” https://troopsofsaintgeorge.org/about-2/  What is left unsaid is the Opus Dei influence (see June 2018).

    • July 2013  Marshall admits that he has been a member of the Franciscan of the Immaculate’s MIM for some time and fan of this group. This is the Franciscans of the Immaculate founded by Father Stefano Manelli. This is problematic for several reasons. The Franciscan of the Immaculate should have been closed down as an order for their financial improprieties and their abuse which came to light via several Italian court cases and Italian media reports (i.e. making nuns prick their fingers and signing their contracts in blood). Marshall writes, “In case you don’t know what “radical traditionalism” looks like, here’s a snap shot: the denial of the Jєωιѕн h0Ɩ0cαųst, the outright denial of Vatican 2 as a valid council, rhetorical style of the Rorate Caeli blog, the embrace of isolationist sub-culture of Catholicism or “Amish Catholicism”, the denial the charismatic gifts and the charistmatic movement, sympathy for the Bp Williamson’s style of traditionalism, disdain for Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis, the belief that Latin Mass Catholics are “A Team” and Novus Ordo Catholics are “B Team”, Gnostic ecclesiology – that “traditionalists” form the one true invisible Catholic Church, I really don’t think that most people attending the Latin Mass are all that close to the radical traditionalism expressed in the points above. However, I do believe that when Father Angelo threw pasta on the wall, some of it did stick.” http://web.archive.org/web/20130805041518/http://taylormarshall.com/2013/07/the-latin-mass-and-the-franciscans-of-the-immaculate.html#more-2966

A sample post on the Maccabee Society’s website, Plan of Life Revisited: Begin Again, ““Your interior life has to be…to begin… and to begin again.” – St. Josemaria Escriva [...] “Conquer yourself each day from the very first moment, getting up on the dot, at a fixed time, without yielding a single minute to laziness. If, with God’s help, you conquer yourself, you will be well ahead for the rest of the day. It’s so discouraging to find oneself beaten at the first skirmish!” — St. Josemaria Escriva” https://maccabeesociety.com/plan-life-revisited-begin/

    • March 2018  Marshall publishes another video, The Milk of Mother Church is Not Tainted or Poisoned where he says, “And as I was, suddenly I saw this beautiful woman. She had blond hair, she was perfect, no wrinkles, no spots, and I immediately discerned that this was Holy Mother the Church. “And she was writhing in pain. She was in a bed, there were sheets on her, and she was very sick. And I noticed that her breasts were engorged with milk, tons of milk. And there were babies and children crying out to her that were hungry. And she wanted to feed them, and she was upset, but she was so sick she could hardly sit up from her bed...There’s poison in the Church, the Church is hurting, there’s always been some poison in the Church. And Mother Church still loves us and Mother Church still wants to give us milk, and she will, but it’s a difficult time. But the milk is pure. The sacramental graces of Holy Mother Church is pure. She’s still beautiful, she’s still immaculate, there’s still nothing sinful, wrong, or broken with Mother Church. But there has been introduced something into her that is poisonous, and so she’s struggling a little bit.” It’s a train wreck of a video that needs to be watched. http://callmejorgebergoglio.blogspot.com/2018/03/there-is-poison-in-mother-but-her-milk.html

    • May 2018  Marshall writes, “Our Catholic feast of Pentecost derives from the Jєωιѕн feast of Pentecost or Shavuot (Feast of Weeks). Pentecost (πεντηκοστή) is Greek for the “50th [day]” since Passover/Easter (7 weeks x 7 days = 49 days). For the Israelites, Pentecost was important because: It is the day on which the rainbow appeared to Noah.

As I listened to the music Bob Marley and the local reggae music, I tuned in with my theological ear. [...] It remains unclear whether Bob Marley repudiated his belief that Selassie but this interview seems to indicate that he did so and that he died a faithful member of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.” https://taylormarshall.com/2018/07/messianic-theology-bob-marley-conversion-ethiopian-orthodoxy.html  Marshall remains mum about role Sephardic Judaics played in the music career of Bob Marley and the reggae genre which was financed by the riches of the a Judaic slave plantation. Chris Blackwell, the son of a Sephardic Judaic mother (Blanche Lindo) an heiress of a slave labor plantation in Jamaica, promotes Bob Marley. He launches Island Records on May 22nd at he age of 22. Blanche Lindo has ties to British intelligence and and romantic relationship with Ian Fleming who wrote his pro-British intelligence James Bond novels at the 'Goldeneye' retreat now owned by Chris Blackwell.

Also, a special thanks to Charlie McKinney, John Barger, Charles A. Coulombe, and Rev. D. Christensen for reading the manuscript and for their advice.” Let’s see that’s: an occultist (Coulombe) https://vimeo.com/user107247931 ; an ecuмenist and Opus Dei supporter (Schneider) http://callmejorgebergoglio.blogspot.com/2015/04/bishop-athanasius-schneiders-will-save.html ; and publishers of Opus Dei books (McKinney & Barger) https://www.sophiainstitute.com/author/fr-john-portavella .

    This book is terrible. One example should suffice to demonstrate the lack of scholarship. Chapter 27 — Sankt Gallen Mafia: ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, Communism, and Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ lumps an assorted group of characters together because they are either from or have traveled to the town of St. Gallen and/or the Canton of St. Gallen.  Marshall states that bishops who support ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity met in St. Gallen under Cardinal Carlo Martini and then segues into Fritz Platten, an Old Catholic communist from the Canton of St. Gallen, followed by a leap to Aleister Crowley whose OTO’s headquarters is in Appenzell. Marshall then recalls the truly tragic and sad story of James Grein who was abused by Cardinal McCarrick, who happened to spend time in St. Gallen and coincidence of coincidences Crowley was buried in New Jersey in the same diocese which McCarrick was in charge of. The source for the OTO information and the connection between the St. Gallen mafia is one Leo Zagami. Zagami was a DJ “Starting his DJing career through the medium of catholic church radio stations in his native Italy, Leo Zagami was the youngest broadcast DJ in his country after playing his own show at the age of 13 in 1983....By 1991, Leo had initiated the Friday Uonna club in Rome - another first in his country, combining as it did art exhibitions with an eclectic mix of house, disco and Detroit techno sounds - before opening The Underground in the catacombs of Constantine.”  https://www.discogs.com/artist/40508-Leo-Young?page=2 Zagami claims to have become a member of the Illuminati https://www.flickr.com/photos/24089748@N02/sets/72157603981160859/ he later left Catholicism while still a member of the Illuminati and became a Sufi Muslim https://talkout.forumotion.com/t162-leo-zagami  and yet later left the Illuminati but was still a Muslim and began to peddle the story that he was a member of the Illuminati but decided to spill the beans on the whole operation because it began to make him feel sick. Zagami then renounced his Sufi Islamic religion and went on the electric carnival circuit where he continues to tell people he is ex-Illuminati and the Jesuits are behind all cօռspιʀαcιҽs. He is Alex Jones go to guy on what's happening in the Vatican. It's always astonishing, shocking, and appalling but never true. The post made by Zagami that Marshall borrowed heavily from for this chapter was Zagami re-writing and spicing up what OTO obsessed Peter-Robert Koenig wrote on his website which are excerpts from his books on the OTO. There is no proof that the OTO's international HQ is in St. Gallen.

  • I'm still trying to find credible dirt on Taylor Marshall, all I'm finding are reviews attacking his latest book.

    In Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within, Dr. Taylor Marshall purports to show that the Catholic Church has been infiltrated by Freemasons and Communists. Already ahead of its release, the hardcover was ranked #1 in several Amazon.com categories. The interest in this book testifies to the hunger for an explanation for the current chaos in the Catholic Church.
    Unfortunately, Dr. Marshall’s book comes nowhere near providing the enlightenment it promises.
    Have Freemasons placed their agents within high positions in the Church? Marshal cites a 19th-century docuмent showing that the Freemasons wanted to subvert the Church. But showing they wanted to infiltrate the Church does not prove that they actually succeeded. He cites a list of purported Freemasons that circulated around the short pontificate of John Paul I in 1978. The fact that someone circulates a list doesn’t prove the list was accurate. These facts are the beginning of a serious investigation, not the conclusion.
    He shows that the town of Sankt Galen has a historical connection with Freemason and Satanic groups. He places a young Theodore McCarrick in the town of Sankt Galen in 1949. Unfortunately, simply placing these people and institutions in the same location does not tell us what they did or indeed whether they did anything at all. Indeed, Marshall himself says, “One cannot help but wonder if Sankt Galen served as an infiltration center for recruiting young men to infiltrate the priesthood. Perhaps the arrival of the fatherless Theodore McCarrick to Sankt Gallen…” (emphasis added).
    In other words, Marshall is speculating, not proving. Once again, the beginning, not the end, of a serious investigation.
    Likewise, to “prove” the claim that the Communists infiltrated the priesthood, Marshall cites Bella Dodd’s testimony to the House Un-American Activities Committee. She claimed that the Communists had placed more than 1,000 agents in the priesthood, including four men who were cardinals. However, she does not name a single name. Rather than seek corroborating evidence, Marshall takes Dodd’s statements at face value. He tries to work out who the four cardinals might have been. Of the cardinals he considers most likely, he presents no evidence that any of them spent a single day in or near Moscow or a Communist training group, or that any had a single encounter with a confirmed Soviet agent.
    Even JFK conspiracy theorists (“Lee Harvey Oswald was a Soviet agent”) can point to Oswald’s time in the Soviet Union.
    I am not setting an impossibly high standard: serious research into Soviet covert operations can now be done. For instance, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, formerly of the Romanian Army, and University of Mississippi Law Professor Ronald Rychlak have shown that the Soviets created an elaborate to smear Pope Pius XII as “Hitler’s Pope,” starting with the play The Deputy. Rychlak wrote an entire [url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/on.com/gp//ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=on.com/gp/&linkCode=as2&tag=httpwwwchanco-20 assembling the evidence and docuмenting his case; Pacepa was the highest-ranking intelligence official ever to defect from the Soviet Bloc. The combination of Rychlak’s research and Pacepa’s testimony leaves no doubt that the Soviets wanted to discredit the Catholic Church. But did the Soviets successfully place agents in the priesthood who are still operating to undermine the Church? Perhaps. Infiltration’s brief chapter adds nothing to the evidence provided by serious scholars such as Rychlak and Paul Kengor, author of numerous books on the Soviet era.
    The most startling instance of under-researched but over-stated conclusion occurs in the chapter entitled, “Infiltration in John Paul II’s Pontificate.” Marshall says: “Fr. Marcial Maciel was also able to walk between the raindrops through bribes given to Monsignor Stanislaw Dziwisz, beloved friend and counselor or John Paul II.” The context of this remarkable statement is that Marshall is describing the changes to canon law during John Paul’s reign. Marshall asks rhetorically, “Why did the Code of Canon Law under John Paul II remove the language of ‘adultery,’ ‘bestiality,’ and ‘sodomy’ from clerical punishment?” He provides no research to answer this question.
    Instead, Marshall’s statement leaves us to draw conclusions from a chain of inferences. 1) John Paul II personally revised the Code of Canon Law to reduce the penalties for clerical sɛҳuąƖ misconduct; 2) he did this for no good reason whatsoever; 3) he did it because Marcial Maciel, who was guilty of sɛҳuąƖ misconduct, bribed Dziwisz.
    Surely this is a serious charge. It deserves more substantiation than Marshall’s drive-by character assassination. In my opinion, this is an appalling lapse of scholarship and judgement, not to mention charity.
    We humans crave certainty. We are comforted by being sure that we are correct. Critics of religion sometimes claim that this desire is the sign of an immature, gullible mind. I do not agree. The desire for knowledge is part of the longing for truth. I believe God placed these desires in every human heart, so we will seek him.
    The current crisis of clergy sɛҳuąƖ abuse and cover-up creates a cloud of suspicion over just about everyone. We do not know if a beloved priest accused of sɛҳuąƖ abuse is the innocent victim of a frame-up or the guilty perpetrator of fraud, along with his other crimes. We do not know if a person making an accusation is telling the truth, exaggerating, or inventing out of whole cloth. Under these circuмstances, the impulse to latch on to a global explanation for all our problems is completely understandable. The urge to blame Those Bad Guys Over There is almost irresistible.
    But however understandable, we should resist the urge to embrace more assurance than the facts allow. I issue this challenge to anyone who has Infiltration in their possession. Read Chapter 9, “Communist Infiltration of the Priesthood,” with this question in mind. “If someone I care about were being investigated for a serious crime, would I be satisfied by the amount and type of evidence presented in this chapter?” If the answer is “no,” set this book aside and give serious thought to whether you want to commit to its thesis.
    Even if the Freemasons and Communists did infiltrate the Church (which is by no means certain), that does not change our basic responsibility. What the Church needs now is saints, lots and lots of saints, saints who are teachers and priests and doctors and nurses and attorneys and mothers and fathers and yes, book authors and editors.
    All of us must do our part to be as truthful and loving as we can be. Reach out to victims. Inform ourselves to the best of our ability. And resist the urge to run after superficial explanations and artificial certainty.

  • Cera,

    Marshall's bio has so many Opus dei connections, it's amazing Randy Engel didn't include him?

    The reference to Engel's work was merely to expose Opus judei's media hydra.



    Traditional Catholics should be astute enough to spot the frauds.

    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

    When I followed several of the links on the attack bio posted, none of them contained what they purported to contain. One example, the charge of immodesty was not borne out in any of the videos cited.

    The reference to Engel's work was based on going to the blog cited in the OP, which cited Engel's work.

  • I think you nailed it Megster!

    Opus judei plays all the angles.



    The objective is to get all trads under their big tent.

    One example:

    Gary Michael Voris, an Opus dei spokesman, has espoused the following positions on his "Church Militant" program:

    1. Anti-semitism is the only unforgivable sin.
    2. The h0Ɩ0h0αx is real and the German race is doomed.
    3. The (тαℓмυdic) Noahide laws are acceptable to Catholics.
    4. Opu Dei is part of Catholic authority.
    5. Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus) the core of "Feeneyism" is correct.

    Opus dei casts a wide net these days.

    One data point that I won't forget is meeting a traditional Catholic priest who had grown-up in an Opus dei family.

    He stated the Opus dei represented nothing less than Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ inside the Church.

    Thanks for the info. It seems that Opus Dei has it's hand in just about all conciliar "trad" groups. Is there any conciliar trad group that ISN'T affiliated in some way with Opus Dei? Opus Dei is no friend of tradition, from what I've seen.

    I guess some members of this forum are fine with Opus Dei. I can't imagine why though. It doesn't make sense.
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    I don't know much about Opus Dei, however I think the world would be more interesting if Jose Maria Escriva, whether or not he is a saint got his wish and received an indult for all Opus Dei priests to say the Latin Mass instead of the Novus Ordo. So if Opus Dei has one good thing about it, the founder did not want to say the New Mass, and since he himself received that indult for himself alone, but not for all of Opus Dei, it is possible that he never did say the New Mass, or at least if he did say it, at least he preferred the Latin Mass.

    P.S. About Marshall, watching him speak creeps me out. It is probably meaningless, but when I look at the way he speaks and how he moves his lips and his mouth when speaking, he looks like a liar to me. Like he has lying lips. This is probably meaningless as how can one judge his truthfulness just by merely looking at his face? So it is not important and is probably just my mistrust of him as an enemy of tradition who has converted somehow and sets himself up as a teacher as if he were a traditional Catholic for thirty years. Voris also creeps me out, even before it came out that he was a sodomite, for similar superficial reasons that are not important. But I do not think Marshall has as much baggage as Voris, as he is a family man with a lot of cute children and not a lifetime of barren sodomy behind him.
    R.I.P.
    Please pray for the repose of my soul.

    Escriba had no intention to put the stops on the revolution. In fact he fostered the revolution. I don't believe he had any religious objects to the new mass. My guess is that, because of his age and his poor vision he just did not want to learn and change from his usual pattern of living.

    I have a similar reaction to him, though I must say that he seems more genuine than before, but that may be that he is learning to polish his act.

    I disagree that judgments made through observation of facial expressions and movements are meaningless. They can be helpful, but not decisive.

    What gets me is that, one year or less into his new status as Catholic, he is director of a Catholic Enquiry Centre, and copious other similar appointments and positions, and running seven websites at one time etc etc. And he gives his own kids their daily bath. Who is he? Superman?
