[based on an actual dialogue that occurred in September 2009. My opponent’s words were accurately paraphrased, italicized, and in blue] ***** We have observed several Baptists come into the Church, as a result of the Tridentine Mass. They had been to Novus Ordo Masses and RCIA for a time, and were utterly disenchanted by them. But they are very impressed by the Tridentine Mass and the Roman Catechism of Trent. They were drawn (by the grace of God) into the... Read more
I’ve been asking the following (in public, on public threads) to three or four people: all of whom deny that Taylor Marshall is “against” Vatican II. Out of charity, I won’t name them. Thus far, no answers (this has become standard modus operandi among Taylor Marshall fans, and he himself: either ignore any critical opinion of his reactionary views, mock, or both). If anyone actually attempts a cogent, rational reply, readers may be assured that I will post it here,... Read more
This exchange occurred on a public Facebook page. The words of David M Williams will be in blue; those of my longtime Facebook friend Susan Loniewski in green. ***** An unhinged and absolutely uncharitable hit piece disguised as a book review. Sharing this kind of slander around is low. [referring to my Amazon review of Infiltration] Dave never does an uncharitable hit piece. Or slander. Perhaps you should take a moment and actually address what he says. The title of one of... Read more
From my 2012 book, Mass Movements: Radical Catholic Reactionaries, the New Mass, and Ecumenism , [follow the link for book and purchase information; only $2.99 as an e-book), pp. 135-153. ***** [based on real dialogues; my opponents’ words are accurately paraphrased and italicized, and in blue. Some are radical Catholic reactionaries, some not] New Introduction (6-2-19) This incident, which occurred on 14 May 1999, when Pope St. John Paul II received some Muslim dignitaries, greatly scandalized the traditionalists of that time, the...

[my much longer critical review of Infiltration on the Amazon book page, has been removed (as of 6-19-19). It was, for over two weeks, listed as the “top review” and the first one listed of over 1000, and also the “top critical review.” It had more than 250 “helpful” votes: more than any other review. It can be read on my blog: My (Censored) Amazon Review of Dr. Marshall’s Infiltration] ***** Ironically, in 2013, Taylor Marshall defined “radical traditionalists” almost exactly the way... Read more
From his Facebook page: Daniel Harrigan: Dr. Taylor Marshall, what about those who say you reject Vatican II and the last few Popes?? Dave Armstrong thinks you are doing that and he wrote about it in an opinion piece online. I admire you greatly and want your take on it. God bless you and your family. I just want to know what Dr. Marshall has to say to Dave. He’s been writing a lot about it the last week and... Read more
A very articulate and capable Facebook friend started asking me questions on my Facebook page about this presently “raging” controversy. He asked to be anonymous on my blog (for legitimate reasons) and so I am complying with that. His words will be in blue. For necessary background (to properly understand what is being debated), see the papers: Reactionary Infiltration of Taylor Marshall’s Book, Infiltration [5-30-19] * Dialogue on My Criticism of Reactionary Taylor Marshall [5-31-19] * Taylor Marshall Adopts Anglican Ecclesiology with Infiltration [6-1-19]...

See my previous articles on this book (especially the first), for necessary background: Reactionary Infiltration of Taylor Marshall’s Book, Infiltration [5-30-19] * Anti-Vatican II Hysteria in Taylor Marshall’s Book Fan Club [5-30-19] * Dialogue on My Criticism of Reactionary Taylor Marshall [5-31-19] * ***** Dr. Marshall was an Anglican priest prior to 2006. As would have been the case then, once again he (ultimately) accepts neither the authority of popes nor of ecumenical councils, if they happen to clash with his own preconceived views.... Read more
This occurred on my Facebook page. Dave Kjeldgaard is a longtime Facebook friend. The discussion is occuring within the backdrop of my two critical articles from yesterday: Reactionary Infiltration of Taylor Marshall’s Book, Infiltration and Anti-Vatican II Hysteria in Taylor Marshall’s Book Fan Club. Dave’s words will be in blue. ***** I still think he is a solid Catholic who is human who makes mistakes, who is highly concerned with the state of the Church and remains an outstanding teacher. It’s hard to see someone we... Read more
We can amiably discuss differences, but we also should come together where we have common ground, in order to be light and hope to the dying civilization all around us. The Church is ecumenical while remaining dogmatic. Nothing has changed: only the willingness to see common ground where it exists. What is it about ecumenism that makes people go ballistic and become irrational? It’s as if there is no such thing as ecumenism: as if any attempt towards it at... Read more
