5.0 out of 5 stars Bombshell!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I will readily admit that I’m a regular listener of Taylor Marshall’s YouTube channel/podcast, so much of the information in this book was not new to me. However, it is so clearly and concisely written as to make all of the connections clear to assure than a Freemasonic/Communist infiltration of the Catholic Church has certainly occurred.
This is a fabulous book that every Catholic should read. Be ready to be red-pilled!
Over the last year, listening to Taylor Marshall, my whole family has been renewed in our Catholic faith. We attend daily Mass as much as possible, pray a daily rosary, and have been more faithful to other devotions. We are also doing all we can to bring the Traditional Latin Mass to our area more often than once a month.
To you, Dr. Marshall— my family prays for you every day in our Mass and rosary, and I specifically and happily said an Ave for you when I finished this book, as per requested.

1.0 out of 5 stars has evil really prevailed over the Church?

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

Conservative Catholics have taken a dislike to Pope Francis, a liberal Pope. But this book is far outside the mainstream of conservative Catholic criticism of Francis. The author, Dr. Taylor Marshall, armed with his degree in philosophy and just over a dozen years as a Catholic convert, proposes that evil conspiracies have succeeded in destroying the doctrine and discipline of the Church from within, not only by the conspiracy that supposedly elected Francis, but also by Vatican II, by the new code of Canon law promulgated by Pope Saint John Paul II, and by many other elements of supposed modernism in the Church. Whenever the Church deviates from the understanding of Dr. Marshall as to the best course, he concludes She has fallen prey to a conspiracy from modernists, Communists, freemasons, and others.

The author proposes that faithful Catholics should imitate Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and resist the teachings and decisions of Pope Francis, Vatican II, the Novus Ordo Mass, Ecumenism and anything else contrary to a traditionalist view of Catholicism. The title of the book is its conclusion: evil conspiracies have succeeded in infiltrating the Church and in perverting Her doctrine and discipline. This conclusion contradicts the teaching of Christ that the gates of Hell will never prevail over the indefectible Church. Marshall concludes that the Church has defected, and that the faithful should accept his teachings over those of Vatican II and recent Popes.

3.0 out of 5 stars the modern battle

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Taylor Marshall offers a book with such a provocative title and blurb that it was hard not to have some curiosity.
Certainly the trad blogs have talked a lot in recent years about Pope Francis, and of course about Vatican Council
II. But Marshall rightly places these controversies in a broader historical context, going at least to the time of
Gregory XVI, around 1831. At least in this sense, it reminded me of R.R. Reno's review of Aidan Nichols' Reason
With Piety, on Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange. Or in another sense, Hilaire Belloc's Modern Attack, the fifth and
last chapter of The Great Heresies. Marshall looks at the origin of the Freemasons and their embrace of all
religions, which is not compatible with the Catholic Church because the Church insists that she is true. As
the centuries go on, there is further infiltration by modernists and communists, with a discussion of George
Tyrrell and Alfred Loisy, as well as Bella Dodd and Fulton Sheen.

The history continues with Pius IX and the loss of the papal states, Leo XIII and the origin of the St. Michael
prayer, and Pius X's battle with modernism. This provides some context for where the Society of St. Pius X
came from, and why they were named after Pius X. I already basically knew this, but the book filled out the
context in a nice way. Benedict XV during WWI had a more conciliatory approach to the world, and Pius XI
took the name of the anti-modernists, but named the Secretary of State recommended by B15 and the
more "moderate" faction. He was determined to reconcile with Italy, but unfortunately by the time he
made a deal it was with Mussolini.

Pius XII is celebrated for Humani Generis, which implicitly condemned the nouvelle theologie of de Lubac,
Congar, Danielou, Teilhard and others. This appears to be an area of specialty for Marshall, along with folks
like Steven Long and Lawrence Feingold, who insist on the distinction between the natural and supernatural
ends of man (the supernatural being the beatific vision, the natural being virtue and happiness as taught by
Aristotle). They disagree with de Lubac and Balthasar, among others, on this point.

Relying on the memory of Madre Pasqualina, the later Pius XII days were less happy from the traddie point of
view, with the influence of Montini (Paul VI), Augustin Bea (an ecumenical biblical scholar), and Annibale
Bugnini (who eventually reformed the liturgy). All three remained influential with John XXIII, who actually
had some traditional views about doctrine. There's the familiar discussion of the theologians of Vatican II.
With Paul VI there is the influence of Maritain, and through him, Saul Alinsky. John Paul I may have been
murdered due to his refusal to cooperate with the corruption surrounding the Vatican Bank.

The JP2 legacy is mixed from the traddie perspective, as there's a lot of angst over the ecumenism and
interfaith dialogue culminating in the Assisi gathering of 1986, and the apologies up to 2000. But on the
other hand, he published the Catechism and Veritatis Splendor, affirming Paul VI's Humanae Vitae and Pius
XI's Casti Connubii on the morality of marriage and family. But he was the first pope formed by Vatican II and
was at home with modern democracy, which was part of his anticommunism. Benedict 16, despite his earlier
career with Rahner and Kung, is appreciated by trads for his Summorum Pontificum allowing the traditional
Latin Mass, his outreach to the SSPX, red shoes and traditional vestments.

The Pope Francis era brings a discussion of Cardinal Martini, the St. Gallen mafia, former Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop Vigano, etc.

Marshall frames his history with discussions of the Marian apparitions of La Sallette and Fatima. A main point is that the full message of the latter has been suppressed, and it involves the apostasy of Rome.

I agree with much, and disagree with a lot. I take some of this with a grain of salt. Even Bishop Schneider, probably the most rad trad bishop in the world, finds the JPI stuff to be a bit far fetched. I had a problem
with Marshall's interpretation of Maritain. Certainly he is open to criticism for his political applications, such as the UN and the Spanish Civil War, both of which would probably win Alinsky's admiration. But
he was a Thomist. One of the first books I read in philosophy was Art and Scholasticism, and it showed how
traditional Thomism can be carried into the modern age. Even Garrigou-Lagrange, who disagreed with him politically and on any number of points, I don't think would deny his Thomism, as Richard Peddicord noted
in Sacred Monster.

Marshall closes with the "options" of how to respond to all this in the present age. Sometimes he sounds like a mad rad trad, and other sections have more conventional analysis, such as the familiar split between Rahner/Schillebeeckx/Kung and de Lubac/Balthasar/Ratzinger after the council. As one would expect of a doctor,
he writes well and in accessible prose.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting - but read with caution

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

This was a partly interesting read about infiltration of the Catholic Church. Albeit, I'm taking one star away for NOT calling John Paul II. a saint.
Karol Wojtyla was not just a pious Polish citizen, but a truly holy man: 100% Catholic, bravely defending the Church against the spirit of the times. He was an authentic Christian, kind, humorous, generous, with an open heart; he sought the good in others, seeking Jesus in every human; he rebuked those who were wrong; he suffered a lot and courageously carried his cross to the end, remaining faithful to his papal vocation and to the faithful entrusted to him.
John Paul II. was and remains a saint.
I'm subtracting another star: In some parts of the book I have the impression the author is pulling together allegations which seem to be unproved gossip - just for the reason of discrediting John Paul II's efforts for peace among people of different religions and anything regarding the second Vatican council. Even if some of JPII's actions may have appeared alien, there is no reason to assume evil intention. I am convinced his intentions were good and pure. I find far worse the action of Lefebvre which led to his excommunication. And therefore one star less for promoting Lefebvre's disobedience.
Even though pope Francis does say things that confuse us, he is clear on abortion and gender ideology. He has called both evil.
I am glad the author puts himself in the "Recognize and Resist Position" towards the end of the book. This leaves us with 2-3 star rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book you need to read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

Having read several of Dr Marshall's works before I was expecting a well researched and polished book, I wasnt disappointed. There are several books detailing parts of the Churches crisis but here we have a comprehensive detailed account from freemasonry to the communist infiltration and through to the present crisis.
I particularly liked the link to the Marian apparitions of La Salete and Fatima.
This book will be useful to both people current on the situation in the church and people who are unaware or new to the church.
In infiltration you will find a well written, well researched, informative book which can be recommended to all those that need to hear the truth of what's really happening, in infiltration they will be faced with the evidence presented in a way that cannot be dismissed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its a Catholic red pill.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book was like taking the red pill (reference to Matrix, just in case not everyone knows). I already knew about some things but the author connected certain dots for me and filled in some gaps. I wish there was mention of Quito, Tre Fontane, Akita and few other relevant events but the book is great nonetheless. It helps to understand why we are in such a mess today and what to do about it. Very interesting, informative but also reassuring. Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wanted to read a Roman Catholic opinion on the state of the church in modern times; I thought this might be just the thing. Sadly, this book provided nothing of any substance. Essentially, this 285-page account is taken up with conjecture, speculation and vague rumours all amply spaced-out with generous margins and a few old photographs thrown in to bulk-up the content even further. If nothing else, perhaps I’ve learned how easy it is to mistake volume for quality content. The author seems to have something of a fan-base; I’m sorry but I won’t be swelling their ranks.
