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:

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.”

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

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? 

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

"Profound spiritual warfare encounters?" 

Prophetic warnings? Future crises?

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.

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.

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.
