desertcart.com: Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within eBook : Marshall, Taylor: Books

Review: A Must Read for Converts - I was raised in a very orthodox Episcopal family & church in a small town in the South. I studied philosophy & history at a small private liberal arts college in an even smaller village in the Mid-West. I felt a calling to purse ordination, so I attended divinity school at an Ivy League university in the 1980’s. There I experienced a monumental crisis of faith. I dropped out of divinity school, got a psychology degree, embraced agnostic Buddhism (Tibetan & Zen), deeply immersed myself in occult practices & groups, and began work as a psychotherapist. Twenty-five years later, another series of crises led to my return to Christianity. I naturally turned back to the Episcopal church, but it was no longer the denomination of my younger years. Female deacons became female priestesses became homosexual bishops, gay marriage, abortion support, transgender rebaptisms, extreme moral relativism, neo-Marxist identity politics, and a church no longer rooted in Christ’s teachings. The very things that had led me to have an inner and outer life of such moral decay and disarray was now mainstream in the Episcopal Church of America. Thankfully I came home to Rome, and my fiancée & I entered the RCIA at a local parish. There were so many incongruencies that I could not make wrap my mind around. Instead of catechesis & rubrics of Catholic practice, we were doing mainstream Protestant critical theory Bible study, talking about personal encounters with Jesus like a Pentecostal, and being told that belief in Satan, the power of the Rosary, and Guardian Angels was superstitious non-sense from a dark & clericalized past. I sat down to study deeply what exactly was going on and how it had come to be. Why did it seem like there were two different “faiths” at odds in the Catholic Church today? Why were the teachings of Pope Francis so confusing and often at odds with previous teachings of the Church & Popes? Why was I seeing a push for the exact same things that had destroyed the mainstream Protestant churches over the last few decades? And most importantly why was the liturgical music so awful?! This is where Dr. Marshall’s new book comes in. First of all, let me state that I have watched some of the videos on his YouTube channel, and I have even taken classes at his New Saint Thomas Institute. As a new convert to Catholicism, his solid presentation of perennial Catholic teachings rooted in the Thomist & Liguorian traditions have deepened my understanding of the faith. His book is presented in exactly the same way. It is obvious he is a doctoral level writer, yet he is able to present complex ideas and copious amounts of factual information in a very approachable way. Infiltration at times reads like a well written historical novel. However, it is not fiction but rather a stark presentation of the truth. Dr. Marshall goes well beyond the standard criticisms of the failures of Vatican II, but rather takes us back to the early 19th century where the enemies of the Church began to seek a different method of taking Her down. Instead of attacks from without, they sought to attack from within. The Protestant schism, the Enlightenment obsession with humanism, and the obsession with occult power led Masonic organizations and early Socialists to start seeding their numbers into the priesthood, then the seminaries, and finally the Vatican itself in order to realize their vision of a man-made & man-ruled Utopia without the counter of the Catholic Church. While it sounds like a grand conspiracy theory, Dr. Marshall presents a solid time-line of events in true Thomistic fashion. He details the natural events & facts while also clearly sharing the supernatural realities occurring at the same time. We see this come to a head in the early 20th century with the Russian Revolution, the start of World War I, and the Apparitions at Fatima mirroring each other and the influence of the Satanic & the Divine upon our world. Yes, I said Satanic. Christians and Catholics know this reality even if modern atheist humanists mock it and deny it. There is a battle between the forces of light and dark going on around us daily. It is reflected in our real-world events as history has unfolded, even more so in the last two centuries. Dr. Marshall never veers, however, into the sensational, the hyperbolic, the over-emotional, or the despondent so often found in books & articles on this topic. He presents facts & details with extensive footnotes. He admits when something simply can’t be known or even trusted as verifiable. Yet the picture he paints is one that is at times depressing & terrifying. One such chapter for me that stood out in this way was on the three Cardinals surrounding Pope Pius XII at the end of his life while he was quite ill -- Cardinals Bea, Montini, and Bugnini. These three men were obvious products of this infiltration. They were Modernists hell-bent on slowly but surely dismantling the Catholic faith from within. During my years away from the faith, I considered myself an independent leftist. I began to question much of what I had been taught and frankly indoctrinated in thereby discovering the influence of neo-Marxist thought in the 1950’s and 1960’s on philosophy, psychology, education, religion, & most importantly politics. I abhorred Saul Alinsky as he seemed to epitomize the worst of this Post-Modernist ideology, though I never considered how satanic it truly was. Dr. Marshall details how Alinsky through his close friendship with Maritain (whom I now see in a very different light!) made connections with Cardinal Montini who would later become Pope Paul VI. Under Pope Paul VI, Vatican II was completed, the liturgy was “reformed”, and much of the traditional teachings of the Church began to slip away. At the same time, I saw that incongruence again. This was also the Pope who promulgated Humanae Vitae which was eerily prescient in its descriptions and predictions of a modern society overcome by the sexual revolution and the damage it would do to men, women, children, and the family unit. As we progress forward in time, we end up with Pope Francis. He seems to embody everything that the earliest conspirators had in mind when it came to a Pope who could fracture the Church from within. He denies previous Magisterial teachings, denigrates the orthodox & the traditional, pushes heretical ideas (so many of which are accepted tacitly by millions of Catholics today), promotes division & conflict, and embraces Socialist ideologies, pantheistic understandings of God & the other religions of the world, and provides a mouthpiece for neoliberal globalist politics. The very things that have been destroying our Western Culture have now appeared to have fully entered the Catholic Church. The “smoke of Satan” truly has entered the Vatican expressed in our current Pope, so many of the Cardinals, and sadly many, many priests throughout the world. Dr. Marshall does not leave us in a state of despair. He reminds us of the other crises points in the Church’s history while extolling us to “recognize & resist” the modern errors of today with an embrace of the teachings, practices, and traditions that are perennial to the Church. I wish he had gone into deeper detail on those things but I realize truly that is another book unto itself. Overall, I highly recommend Infiltration to all Catholics, all Christians, and especially those who want to understand the incongruencies & crisis in the Church today. I think that all converts should read it as well it because we learn what it is that we left, why we did so, and how it is trying to worm its way into Catholic Church. We are called then to be warriors arming ourselves with knowledge, prayer, and most importantly liturgically sound Masses that raise our minds, bodies, & soul to God so that we faithful may survive this infiltration & the damage it has done & is sadly still doing to the Church.
Review: Did The Devil Make Them Do It? - Dr Taylor Marshall is concerned about the direction of the Roman Catholic Church that is lurching toward materialism and modernism. Church attendance and acceptance of Church dogma, among Catholics is dwindling. If we believe her, Nancy Pelosi seriously believes that despite her stance on abortion she is a good Catholic and all she needs is a note from Rome to make her position theologically sound. Not according to Dr Marshall, or many others, but with the current Pope who knows what will be said to her? This march toward perdition begins in the mid-19th century. As far as conspiracy theories go, this cabal is playing the long game. The Church cannot be destroyed from the outside. Napoleon learned this as have others. Therefore, if its destruction is the goal, it has to be accomplished from the inside, hence the book's title, "Infiltration." The plot for the infiltration begins with an Italian secret society in the mid-19th century. They issued a secret document, obtained by the Church in 1859 titled "The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vedita." The society, was called "the Carbonari." They aligned themselves with Freemasonry and the Freemasons took up this document and the cause. The long-term goal was to place a Freemason on the throne of St. Peter. Marshall takes us through the ups and downs of the papacy from the mid-19th century until the election of Pope Francis - mission accomplished. I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, but this one is a bit different. The author describes actual, verifiable historical events - usually the actions of particular pontiffs and their subordinates that all seem to be aimed at this long-term goal. Unlike most conspiracy theories, this one has ups and downs, successes and failures and some successes possibly turned into failures only to ultimately rise again. In parts, this book reads like a first-rate political thriller. It also filled a lot of gaps in my (pretty pathetic) knowledge of the history of the Catholic Church. My question, as always when it comes to conspiracy theories, are these people really that smart? Is it possible to put in motion 160 years ago a plan that would ultimately succeed, at least temporarily? Who has that kind of foresight? Who would think that switching from some Latin in the mass to all vernacular would result in so much abandonment of the Church? Who would think that after 60 years of failure, dwindling attendance, loss of faith, worship of nature and the material, none of which anyone in authority notices, as they fight for a continuation of what has clearly failed? Marshall can answer that, too. He says ultimately this is the work of Satan and his attempt to destroy the one true Church. Is he 100% persuasive? I don't know. I don't disagree that what is happening is detrimental to the Church and to the faithful. But I see the same sort of thing in the secular world. There are otherwise intelligent people who look at a failed policy and think the answer is more of the same. Why not in the ecclesiastical world? If I can't accept his thesis 100%, why give it five stars? Fair question. I gave it five stars because I think any book that can result in the reader thinking about what he has read over and over even to the point of looking up things to enhance what he's just learned is a damn good book. It is well worth reading and learning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, Lex Vivendi!
*by R***H on May 29, 2019*

How we pray directly influences how we believe, and how we believe has a direct impact on how we live. This is a meticulously researched, well written account of what has happened to and within the Roman Catholic Church for the past 150 years. I'm a convert to the Roman Catholic faith, and for almost 30 years I have wrestled with my conscience regarding what I would call a bizarre, duplicitous Church magisterium who at one moment will promulgate perennial Catholic teaching, and the next moment prima facie heresy. Dr. Marshall has done an excellent job putting the puzzle pieces together, and unfortunately the image that is revealed is of a Church that has been betrayed from within. This is a book that you will need to read, and re-read due to the level of detail that is articulated regarding the Marian prophecies, the Freemasonic agenda, and the inter-ecclesial politics that have taken place to bring us to this point in Church history. At the heart of this account, Dr. Marshall demonstrates that the enemies of the Church knew precisely how to undermine her ministry - namely, that if they could slowly subvert the priests and religious who were young, they could thus grow a contingent within the Church who would then ravage the liturgical prayers (the Mass being the highest form of prayer). Once they were able to undermine the prayer life of the Church, it didn't take long to corrupt the faith of the young, and thus introduce a diabolical agenda. What is commonly accepted today (contraception, abortion, euthanasia, religious indifference, etc.) would have been completely abhorrent a generation or two prior to that. The question that has always come to my mind has been: how did this happen in one generation of the Church? How could the Church be so easily corrupted? Dr. Marshall answers that question - it didn't happen in one generation. It happened over the course of many generations, and in spite of the valiant attempts of 19th and early 20th century papacies to prevent this from happening. The magisterium since John XXIII has in one form or another been corrupted, and each and every papacy has to a greater or lesser extent further entrenched Modernism in the minds of most Roman Catholics - priests, religious and lay Catholics alike. This book clearly demonstrates that this did not begin with Vatican II. Vatican II was a crowning achievement for the Modernist heresies, not their beginning. While this book is full of important details that the thoughtful reader should ponder, I almost think that this is just scratching the surface. Once the Enlightenment ideas took hold in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, they created fertile ground for secret societies such as the Freemasons - the world turned from the divine to the mundane. We now live under a magisterium that has essentially turned the Roman Catholic Church into a secular NGO (non-governmental organization) that supports every anti-Christian agenda under the sun, including philosophical, religious and moral relativism. This is a book that should be read by all Catholics who care deeply about their faith, and are committed to recognizing and resisting theological and moral error even if it is taught by priests and bishops (including the Pope). Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
