    • Haven't read it, so can't comment on it. Haven't even ever heard of the author. Until now. Thought I'd pass it along nonetheless.




    Per description at Amazon:

    Quote
    Former CIA operations officer Robert Marro Jr. pens a gripping memoir about his close friend and confidante, the famed enigmatic exorcist, bestselling author, and Vatican insider Malachi Martin.

    In this riveting firsthand account, Robert Marro Jr. pulls back the veil on the life of the mysterious and controversial Reverend Dr. Malachi Martin. Over the course of their decade-long friendship, Martin revealed secretive details of the Vatican’s efforts to combat Stalinist Iron Curtain governments during the Cold War. Martin also revealed to Marro previously unknown details of the controversial Third Secret of Fatima, which to date has still not been fully disclosed, despite Vatican protestations to the contrary. Marro also sets the record straight on Martin’s status as an ex-Jesuit priest and alleged womanizer. Martin was not only a renowned exorcist who literally fought the demons of Hell—he was a Dead Sea Scrolls archeologist, Cold War Vatican spy, and advisor to three popes. In Malachi Martin, Marro pulls back the curtain on the only priest who could legitimately be called “The Indiana Jones of the Catholic Church.”

    Morrow's interview w/Life Site.
    "Prophet Priest:  the truth about Fr. Malachi Martin."
    .

    I realize Life Site is not a trad website, but man this is embarrassing. Did you see episode 520? 

    Quote
    Marro unveils Martin’s secret elevation as a Vatican “apostolic administrator” a covert cardinalate established as a Cold War contingency plan. He details Martin’s intimate involvement with the Third Secret of Fatima, his clandestine work behind the Iron Curtain, his profound spiritual warfare encounters, and his prophetic warnings about diabolic disorientation and future crises within the Church.

    This is some weapons-grade retardation, right here. I don't know where to begin. A secret cardinalate? Let me guess ... Martin was one of them? :clown:

    And Martin was involved with the third secret of Fatima? Okay, then why didn't he publish what it says?:facepalm:

    "Profound spiritual warfare encounters?" :laugh1:

    Prophetic warnings? Future crises? :laugh1:

    So, not publishing the Third Secret I can understand, if of course it's true at all.  I do believe it's been verified that Martin was a secretary for Cardinal Bea, and the story is that Bea let him read the Secret.  Of course, while pretending that he (and Bea) were among the "good guys" (with Bea allegedly complaining about Roncalli et al not acting on the Third Secret, even though Bea is likely a Mason), at another time Martin related a story in which he enjoyed blackmailing various bishops and Cardinals at Vatican II, and I doubt it was for good or noble purposes, i.e. to reject the heresis at Vatican II.  So that's where Martin's BS starts contradicting itself.  He's one of the secret good guys here, but then he admitted to being an agent of the bad guys.  Which one, then?

    I knew someone who followed Martin around on various lecture tours, and he told me that Martin would change up his narrative (in contradictory ways) depending on his audience.

    At this point, I just don't know how much is true, how much BS, whether Martin was a bad guy or a good guy, or a bad guy converted into a good guy, or just a total fraud like Moran, where he was a nobody who knew next to nothing but then made a grifting career out of telling stories.

    What do;

    "The Beast"
    "The Nine"
    and Malachi Martin

    have in common?

    So, here's another contradiction in the narrative.  Here we have the +Thuc bishop +Lopez-Gaston ordaining Coomaraswami, but then there's another story that Martin had secretly been ordained a bishop.  Then why didn't Martin simply ordain Coomaraswami himself?

    • I understand the need for clandestine Bishops, especially behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold war, but what actually is the point of a clandestine Cardinal? Especially one from the UK or America? 
    It's just a titled office to elect the Pope.

    • BTW, there's a serious issue with the orders of +(?)Lopez-Gaston.  He had in fact been ordained to the priesthood by +Carmona, but then he was consecrated by one of the Duarte-Costa bishops (doubtful) and then conditionally consecrated by this +(?)Roux guy who claims to have been consecrated by +Thuc, but many people have asserted that +(?)Roux was a fraud and had never been consecrated by +Thuc, and I think they had some good evidence for that.

    I COULD see that, where, let's say a Pope Pius XII somehow got wind of the fact that they were planning on installing an Anti-Pope, or he received some private revelation, where he might create secret Cardinals.  But I doubt that actually happened.

    There is such a thing as a Cardinal "in pectore", where somtimes the Popes would create Cardinals but not publicly announce it, and the reason sometimes was because they were behind the Iron Curtain.

    • I did post the Maurice Pinay archive on Malachi Martin in the comments under this new Lifesite video yesterday- but it wasn't there when I looked today.

    • But, this does make me question Dr. Coomaraswami's grasp of Sacramental theology here, when he states that he received the graces of ordination from a "double source".  No, if the first one was valid, the second one did not confer the grace of Orders, or vice versa.  And the conditional is a very simplified form of the Rite, so one couldn't say it's because of the other parts of the Rite.

    In Picture 2 above, he does appear rather clearly to be touching his head.

    So, my issues have nothing to do with his being marriged, or the +Thuc line in general ... but with +Lopez-Gaston, having derived episcopal consecration from a Duarte-Costa bishop and then conditionally from +Roux, the latter's consecration by +Thuc having been contested by quite a few people.  Then of course we have very little evidence that Martin was actually a bishop.

    I suppose one COULD say that Martin did not want it known that he was a bishop, and that's why +Lopez-Gaston did the consecration, but then after the consecration decided to step in, since conditionals are generally somewhat low-key.

    • So, having watched part of the interview, I don't have a great deal of confidence in this Marro fellow, i.e. not sure he really knows what he's talking about ... and am beginning to wonder how much of this HE is making up in order to sell a book.

    • I think that overall Martin might have been just a bit more credible had he not kept being evasive, shifty, changing details ... and constantly engaged in "factional" writing, where it's a blend of fact/fiction and you don't know where the line is between the two.

    If he had just come out with plain speech, been direct, instead of always being behind this fog of uncertainty.

    There is a link between Rama Coomaraswamy, Martin, and "The Nine".

    There is a link between Coomaraswamy and "The Beast".

    Do you have any evidence to substantiate that second charge?  Otherwise, it would constitute calumny.  I've seen no evidence that Dr. Rama had any link whatsoever, and the fact that you don't distinguish here with this comment between him and his father slanders him.

    No.

    Saying there is a link between them is not calumny.

    The link between "the Beast" and Coomaraswamy is his father Ananda who was a founding father of Tradtionalism.

    Yeah, it really is.  Unless you can substantiate that Rama himself has some connection, then the vague statement constitutes calumny.  If you specified that his Father had, that would be one thing, but without that clarification, a reader would be left with the impression that he himself had been involved.  Lots of people have had parents engaged in bad things that they should not be smeared with.  If someone's parent committed adultery, you can's say stuff like "he's linked with adultery", since that would leave a reader wondering about the individual's virtue.  You can perhaps say that if you immediately followed with the details, i.e. that it was his parent, not him.

    How ironic that you condemn yourself out of your own mouth :laugh1:

    https://www.cathinfo.com/crisis-in-the-church/prevost-thy-name-is-adultery/

    So, either you're such a moron that you don't see where I specifically laid out all the details, or just so desperate to justify your calumny and slander, ignoring the fact that I substantiated my charge that his NAME (his last name is fake) and was invented to cover up the adulter of his grandparent, not that he committed adultery himself.  Comparing apples to oranges.  Had you said that Rama Coomaraswamy's FATHER had ties to Crowley, that would have been fine.  You calumny lay in the implication that he had some direct link, since you failed to specify or give any details.
