Now, I always liked Malachi Martin. I had heard that he renounced his modernistic ways and became a very traditional Catholic. You must also know that he was very good friend with Dr. Rama Cooramaswamy, himself a Traditional Catholic. And, Fr. Malachi Martin was right next to the name of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on the lips of the Novus Ordo Priests, like Fr. Mitch Pacwa of EWTN. They hated them both and what they stood for. Further, there is evidence that what drove the hatred for Fr. Malachi Martin was that he was made a bishop in secret by none other than Pope Pius XII. No, he never mentioned this but others who were made bishops in secret knew of this. Pope Pius XII was very well aware of the fact that the Church was soon to go underground. The lies about Fr. Malachi Martin are spread by people who always tried to discredit him. BTW, if anyone would know anything it would be Fr. Moderator over on Traditio.com he still lists him in the deceased Traditional priests list to pray for.
No, I say I do not believe it.
