So Trump chose Taylor Marshall for some committee to help him win the Catholic vote. I think this is significant. I imagine it will introduce more conservatives into the world of traditional Catholicism. He has also talked about Archbishop Vigano as well.

Proves he not really a trad.
Never heard of him before a year ago, and as far as I can tell, he's just an indulterer.

He is seemingly drifting. He started out Anglican, then went Opus Dei, then indulter, and now he is entering into the waters of the SSPX. I think he is half indult, half SSPX now. In a year if he continues to drift, who knows where he will be. I also do not trust him, largely because of his strange rise to fame out of nowhere in these times of peril, and it would be funny if he was indeed an Infiltrator who wrote a book called "Infiltration", but he has quickly become the biggest name in the Latin Mass world of any layman. So I would call him the McDonalds of the trad world (or Latin Mass world if you refuse to allow indulters into the trad tent). I'm lovin' it.

Yeah.  I found his book laying on a table in the basement of my SSPX chapel (go figure), and picked it up to read the preface/introduction, and it was by Bishop Schneider (!)...talking about false shepherds...except that Schneider is himself a conciliarist who wants to save Vatican II!!!
Talk about confused (charitable interpretation)!

It is not a positive review.

Taylor Marshall is Opus Dei.

Through his own writings, he embraces the communist Jose Escriva's theology.

He's been going sspx because the dallas and fort worth diocese have not opened their doors yet.  Still no mass.

Some will argue that Dr. Taylor is experiencing a “pilgrimage of grace”.

They claim, he’s awakening to Roman Catholic tradition.

If so, he needs to renounce his public endorsements of Opus Dei and expound upon their errors.

As a credible trad media figure, he is obligated to expose Opus Dei for what they are... a secret society within the Consiliar Church.

Taylor Marshall is a parishioner at the Mater Dei Catholic Church which is run by the Fraternity of St. Peter. The FSSP started in 1988 when 12 priests left the SSPX because they disagreed with Bishop Marcel Lefebvre's consecrations of the four bishops. It does seem Taylor Marshall has become more open to the SSPX recently which is good. But, I wouldn't jump on the Taylor Marshall train so quickly. We'll just have to see.

At least Trump didn't choose a liberal catholic for his committee to get the catholic vote like Sara Hutchinson Ratcliffe or Bishop Blase J. Cupich or Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin or any liberal franciscan friar for that matter.

… I wouldn't jump on the Taylor Marshall train so quickly.

There is little risk of that occurring. Some CathInfo commenters have been wise to Taylor Marshall since at least October 2013, at which time he turned up in Meg's sights. On first acquaintance with his stuff, she referred to him as having "some strange views as to what constitutes Tradition." That of course is not the only occasion on which she has read the tea leaves with notable discernment.

In 2014 there was a moderately lengthy thread, linked here (https://www.cathinfo.com/crisis-in-the-church/fisher-more-college-banned-by-bishop-from-saying-latin-mass/), wherein several commenters who are still active today took turns kicking dirt on Marshall, even characterizing him as a "sanctimonious fraud"—a description he richly merits.

Only out of necessity.
The dallas and fort worth diocese have not yet opened, so there are no Fraternity of St. Peter masses.  The only Catholic masses in dallas or forth worth are SSPX or sede (once a month).

I could be wrong, but it seems likely that +Vigano recommended Taylor Marshall to Trump, to be on Trump's advisory board.

Marshall said recently in one of his videos that +Vigano directly sent him a communication, which means, I assume, that Vigano is in contact with Marshall. It seems that +Vigano mainly works with Opus Dei affiliates. I hope that Trump does not become sympathetic to Opus Dei as a result.

Thanks, Incred.

I'm still supportive of Vigano, and hope that he continues to provide his views on the Crisis in the Church. But of course some of think that it's not a good idea for him to use Opus Dei members and fans for his media sources; sources that provide us with his views. Opus Dei is a freakish Vll cult, though they pass themselves off as extremely virtuous. But...secrecy is not a virtue. Requiring its members to not divulge their membership is not virtuous. Opus Dei appears to control a lot of conciliar Catholic media outlets.

It's possible that Vigano just wants to use them to get his message out. I don't think it's a good idea.

And as Randy Engel said, why is it that Vigano has not gone after, by name, some of the other homos in the conciliar church, who have committed crimes just as bad as those of McCarrick?

Yes, trolls abound. I got two down thumbs on page 1 simply for pointing out that people on this site spotted Marshall as a highly dubious character fully seven years ago. My mentioning Meg as an early spotter seems to have been viewed as especially unforgivable.

I don't particularly care about the whats and whys of people's likes and dislikes, but to my knowledge spitefulness has never been numbered among the saintly characteristics to which Catholics should aspire.

As for Archbishop Viganò, the attitude that the worth of his various published messages should be regarded as tainted because he has had what some consider questionable friendships and associations is uncomfortably redolent of a media-led "cancellation" of a celebrity who was seen in a store one day saying hello to a h0Ɩ0h0αx h0Ɩ0cαųst denier. Surely a Catholic should judge the messenger by his message; not the other way around. For that reason. so long as the archbishop continues to attack conciliarist traitors and speak up for the True Faith, he will have my support and applause.

He says:
“the real question that I will address in this article is: In what way is Opus Dei behind Vigano’s actions?”
In other words, he already "knows" something.
To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail

He goes on with mere speculation:
“For instance, given the aforementioned accolade to John Paul II, could he be acting in deference to Opus Dei’s desire to continue the myth of “John Paul the Great?” Or is there another Opus Dei purpose behind this?”

Being open-minded, I continued to read to see if these thinly veiled accusations were supported. They were not. He repeatedly made unfounded accusations without giving any source.

Well said.

I, too, support Vigano. But not Opus Dei, or Taylor Marshall.

The only reason that I was an early spotter is that I happened to peruse a website several years ago, soon after the Fisher-More college disaster, in which someone at the college (I know not whom - the website didn't say) who was involved with the details of the situation, who said that Taylor Marshall, after turning in his resignation, asked for a large severance pay. Marshall said that he would keep quiet about the financial situation at FM, IF he would be given the severance pay, but he didn't get it. It was denied. So he went forward with his story about what went on at Fisher-More college. I haven't been able to find that website that told this story. It seems to have disappeared.

To be fair, Marshall does have a lot of children to support, and that may be his reason for sort of blackmailing the college, and wanting that severance pay. But still.....

I think +Vigano stands out among all the rest of "indult only" conversions. 
1) He's already stated his opposition to V2 and the innovative/abusive new mass.  So, if he privately says the TLM, what kind of "indult" is that?  It's not an indult at all, for he disagrees with every "condition" of +Benedict's "motu" and has stated his support of Quo Primum.
.
2) Let's give Marshall and all these recent indult-converts some leeway.  Many of them are totally new to Catholicism, in general, AND to Tradition.  Marshall admitted that he used to hate +Lefevbre and the sspx because he looked upon them as similar to Martin Luther, who rejected the Church, and many "normal" catholics he talked to, told him the sspx was schismatic.  Fast forward to now, and he had admitted he was wrong, sees why Tradition exists and now supports +Vigano's cast-it-all-out approach to V2, as opposed to Schneider's "let keep trying to fix a square circle" approach.  I see a lot of good will in Marshall.
.
3) I don't know much about Opus Dei, except they are a big organization with dubious beginnings and a questionable orthodoxy.  Does this mean that EVERY member is "in on it"?  And if Marshall is corrupted, how so?  What's the goal?  What has he done that's wrong?  He's an anglican convert that joined Opus Dei...maybe he makes good money and they wanted his contributions?  There's a lot of "useful idiots" in these groups (including the masons), who invite "popular" people so their groups appear mainstream, and many of these "popular" people have no idea they're being used.

As someone who was influenced someone by Dr. Marshall on my path to discovering Catholic tradition, I have mixed views about him. I think he provides a lot of good info on the TLM and Catholic tradition, as well as other things like the Fatima apparitions. Due to the size of his channel, more of this information is now more easily accessible. However, I don't like his pro-Indult views and his book "Infiltration", as someone else pointed out in this thread, is quite lacking. Haven't been looking into his more recent stuff for the most part, as I started to move away from his content about a year ago, after he put a strike on Dr. E Michael Jones' channel because Jones tried to defend himself in an accusation made against him by Timothy Gordon during an online dispute. That really was a scuмmy move. Another strange thing he did was that he made a podcast or two with Timothy Gordon a while back in which they both condemned Distributism as being "Catholic Socialism". Don't know if he's changed on that position, however. 
 
(Here's a review from Culture Wars tackling the issue of TM's omission in portraying the reality of the Jєωιѕн war on the Catholic Church: https://culturewars.com/news/infiltration?rq=infiltration%20taylor%20marshall)

Continuing on the subject of Taylor Marshall, he did say on a video months ago that he'd like to do an interview with Bishop Williamson sometime. Who knows if that will actually happen, I somewhat doubt it considering that it may give His Excellency some positive exposure to a wider audience, something that Trad Inc. absolutely doesn't want to happen. Here's a link to my thread on this:

I agree.  He has no business writing about the infiltration in the Church, being he only converted a few years ago.  Studying the church infiltration starts all the way back in the 1800s and takes a LOT longer than a few years to get a good foundation.  It can take decades to truly grasp the depth of the problem.

There was only one footnote which worked, and the aforementioned non-working footnote link. The attack on Taylor Marshall was unfounded speculation. Prove me wrong.

You could table all the Opus Dei discussion and still contend with a man who insists on maintaining a public profile as a leading "traditional" Catholic voice when he should have sought a far more private life. A lot of things that a convert must contend with take a good deal of time to navigate through and one can hardly lead discussions when they're supposed to be focused on catching up.

I don't see the man being particularly conscientious or trepidatious in his meanderings with the occasional golden nugget as archived here about his "vision" of a pained woman with a milk-engorged bosom representing the Church:
http://callmejorgebergoglio.blogspot.com/2018/03/there-is-poison-in-mother-but-her-milk.html (http://callmejorgebergoglio.blogspot.com/2018/03/there-is-poison-in-mother-but-her-milk.html)

His lack of honesty is more than abundantly clear when you consider how he was the man behind the Pachamama dunking (which suspiciously had zero repercussions) and not Alexander Tschugguel and that they had orchestrated the incident for what is looking more and more like a publicity stunt.

But back to Opus Dei for just a minute: He named one of his sons after Escriva.

Why is this so hard to take in? He OD'd as soon as he went NO. He only disavowed a week before the Pachamama incident. Now he's dumped Gordon for a more SSPX-aligned position? I have to be skeptical.

Most importantly, never forget how far the serpent will unhinge his jaw to wrap around large prey. Trad Catholics are a big prize to be won by the elites. They seem less interested in the outright destruction of their targets than the ability to absorb them whole. Less struggle that way!

Something is amiss.
I agree with Matthew AND Croixalist in the same day...
I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Not if you can't take your eyes off the mirror!

and still contend with a man who insists on maintaining a public profile as a leading "traditional" Catholic voice when he should have sought a far more private life.

Totally agree.  He has no qualifications whatsoever to have a "Trad" blog, much less a novus ordo one.  Put all the usernames of "cathinfo.com" into a hat and 90% of us would be better qualified to run a blog than he.

Yeah, per Marshall's background below, he obviously embraced Escrivia's cult and was a good recruitment candidate for them.


But no one is just casually influenced by Opus Dei.


It's secret society of clerical freemasons who control the puppet strings of newChurch.

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 (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 (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 (https://taylormarshall.com/2009/10/did-founder-of-opus-dei-prophecy-popes.html)

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 (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.

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/ (https://cardinalnewmansociety.wordpress.com/2012/12/26/catholic-convert-dr-taylor-marshall-made-chancellor-of-catholic-college/)

• 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 (https://taylormarshall.com/2013/01/my-initial-doubts-about-latin-mass.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 (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/ (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/ (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 (http://web.archive.org/web/20130805041518/http://taylormarshall.com/2013/07/the-latin-mass-and-the-franciscans-of-the-immaculate.html#more-2966)

If, with God’s help, you conquer yourself, you will be well ahead for the rest of the day.

• 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 (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. It is the day on which Moses received the 613 Laws from God…” https://taylormarshall.com/2018/05/tongues-of-fire-and-bishops-in-pointy-hats-acts-and-1-enoch.html (https://taylormarshall.com/2018/05/tongues-of-fire-and-bishops-in-pointy-hats-acts-and-1-enoch.html)

• July 2018  Marshall writes post, The Messianic Theology of Bob Marley and His Conversion to Ethiopian Orthodoxy, “I just returned from the Caribbean. 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 (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.

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 (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/ (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 (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'd argue that naming your kids after the Opus Judei founder makes you dyed-in-the-black-wool. However, for those who need an official list left from an Alta Vendita level operative, suffice to say the man has naturally aligned his entire career based off of the same principles. They draw from the same source of inspiration.

But back to Opus Dei for just a minute: He named one of his sons after Escriva.

He named one of his sons Escriva? Please support this -- I was unable to verify.

Here is my son on the way home from the hospital today. He shall be baptized, Jude Ambrose Josemaria Marshall.

Jude because [...]

Ambrose because [...]

Josemaria after St Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei. I have gained a deep devotion to this holy man and his writings. I attend daily Mass at the St Josemaria Chapel (at the Catholic Information Center) and my boss (and father and friend) is a priest of Opus Dei. Also, my son was born on June 26, the feast day of St Josemaria.

Nowadays, he appears to prefer to mention just "Jude":

Here is an “in action” baptism photo. Father Stetson (coped) of the Prelature of Opus Dei administers the sacrament. My beloved wife holds our son. That’s me in the background with one of our daughters. As you can see, Jude is crying as he comes into the Kingdom – regenerate and infused with the Holy Ghost.

I once named a dog “Amos”and he ended-up being adopted by a family that lived on the beach and was allowed to lay on their sofa.

Knew a Lutheran guy who named his pit bull “Martin”.   The dog was run over by a garbage truck.  :facepalm:

I will say this, the child can't help but be a better Josemaria than his namesake! But let's just leave it at that. I hope his family does well in spite of whatever shenanigans Taylor is pulling online. A family that size needs a lot of resources and perhaps that's the main reason he might be going along with whatever agenda that gets handed down to him. Opus Dei is rather well off compared almost any other Catholic organization I can think of... for reasons we all know...

Apropos the timeline, Incredulous or whoever else assembled this chronology of conciliar careerism merits a thank-you for energy alone, not to mention comprehensiveness.

The comment I have refers to the entry for March 2015. While Marshall's reading list overflows with the Usual Indefensible Suspects, I would characterize Endo's Silence and whatever Marshall recommended by Bernanos—presumably The Diary of a Country Priest or Under Satan's Sun or both—as highly worthy, honorable, and commendable Catholic citizens of Literature Land who got dragged into bad company through no will or fault of their own.

… Endo's Silence

Corrigendum: I confused The Silence, which I haven't read, with The Samurai, which I have read and which I admire. Of the former book I know nothing. I realized my error too late to correct it. Mea culpa.

He gives the reasons why Jude, why Ambrose, and why Josemaria. By why did he have his son baptized Marshall?  :fryingpan:

I'd like to think that the suggestion that Marshall is part of the child's baptismal name was merely an inadvertency or a bêtise on his dad's part. The presence of an emoji at the end of your comment suggests that you think much the same. Nicht wahr?

If we discount the twinkle in your eye, however, perhaps the explanation is that Marshall père was channeling his inner Italian gentiluomo. There was a centuries-old custom among the Italian aristocracy, extending even into the twentieth century, to christen an eldest son with the singular form of the family name. Examples are Galileo Galilei, Marino Marini, and Vincenzo Vincenzi. As English lacks most case endings, plain blunt Marshall Marshall will have to do for this child. If this surmise is correct and if, in a few years, junior's schoolfellows discover the duplication, they will mock the poor boy with such unrelieved intensity that he may end up hating his old man.

Alas, the devil is tempting me to take sinful delight in that thought. Still, it's an ill wind that blows no one good.

Taylor Marshall is an ordained priest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Marshall) of the Episcopal Church. Why would you think, claudel, that he could be an Italian? I can't say for sure, but I'd guess, being an Italian is an obstacle on the way to Episcopal priesthood. On the other hand, Louie Verrecchio showed (https://akacatholic.com/revelation-dr-taylor-marshall-abm-is-short/) that Marshall is rather short. But that doesn't really prove anything, either.

I don't. By "channeling his inner Italian gentiluomo," I simply meant that he might be imagining himself to be such a man and thus, as it were, be living a dream. In using the turn of phrase I did, it certainly was not my intent to deliberately perplex you.

I do not understand the fascination of supposedly traditionalist Catholics with other lay Catholics as purported authority figures.

Second, I do not understand why people think that Taylor Marshall has proven himself as reliably traditionalist.  I'm not referring to Mass affiliation necessarily, or simply by itself.  However, Professional Catholics who go in and out of various movements before and after their conversions do not strike me as stable and reliable.  Surely there are lay people without such pasts.

I understand why President Trump might logically think that a lay Catholic appointee would "help with the Catholic vote," since most voters are lay.  But I don't see the "infatuation" of Catholics with laymen when there are priests who are not confused, who are respected by a large body of traditionalist orders, etc.

But I don't see the "infatuation" of Catholics with laymen when there are priests who are not confused, who are respected by a large body of traditionalist orders, etc.
This positioning of lay people as celebrities/authority figures is quite common in the Novus Ordo Church (think Scott Hahn, Matt Fradd, Christopher West, etc). If I were to speculate, this fascination perhaps comes from the fact that more traditionally minded lay "authority figures" are now, more often than not, how most people in the NO find out about Traditional Catholicism for the first time, due to the Internet savvy and significant social media presence of these prominent laymen. And so, it is easy for newcomers to Traditional Catholicism to cling to these types, since they provide an easy source of information and, at least in the minds of these newcomers, these lay "authority figures" have proven themselves trustworthy. Also, keep in mind that many of these people come from the Newchurch, where this sort of phenomenon is quite entrenched, and so they don't see this as wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that lay theologians were a Vatican II invention.

Yes, Shusaku Endo’s book “Silence” is pure poison.

An apostate Catholic who wrote of Japan’s glorious martyrology with existentialist despair.

Japan’s Freemasons must have encouraged him to write it.
