It turns out that Taylor Marshall and Timothy Gordon have had a disagreement regarding SSPX going back to January. Just ask them, JP2 indeed spread a false ecumenism but wasnt trying to kill the TLM entirely. Just defending myself with the truth. (12:36 PM), Dave and I disagree about *how close* VC2 comes to embracing ecumenism/modernism. So it is not Pope Francis teaching that God positively wills many religions.

Roman Catholic theologian and translator of the Catholic Public Domain Version of the Bible. If they try and publish this elsewhere, it will be over my dead body. Please review Rule 4 and this post before making a top level comment: I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. My brand CANT be damaged by defending the ONE HOLY CHURCH against outsiders who claim my Sunday obligation isnt fulfilled if I attend novus. And they pretend that he said the opposite. Then the penalty for heresy and schism is automatic excommunication. It is not submission to acknowledge that Pope Francis is the Pope. The other hypocrisy here is that Marshall said no one may judge the Pope, and they he says, to the Pope, You are wrong on a long series of subjects. Obviously I have the theology training and whatnot.. But right here, thats a judgment and accusation against the Pope of teaching material heresy. Its an important intellectual matter and it merits dispassionate debate.

(4:38 PM), People were accusing me of not reaching out to Taylor. But the debate should be: a) not avoided and b) CIVIL, Nobody wants the Catholic infighting, Taylor. Sounds a bit petty, but I have noticed there's a lot of division and debate in the Catholic blogosphere regarding the SSPX. Hes got a good heart and weve both had a hard year. He sent a diplomatic text insinuating there wouldnt be a call. One can only approximate how much one wouldnt have known if they hadnt seen someone elses citationsIn terms of the approximate remediability of pretending to know something you wouldnt have known if you hadnt read someones work but were going to research the same topic, how much of their sources would you have found?, Well when were talking about scripture and major encyclicals that pretty much everyone that knows anything about this knows, and you talk to the person for a long time, its really hard to come to a conclusion other than, yes, Steph would have known where to look in the scripture, because I knew. All of us, me included. (9:54 PM), Just gotta retry each day for unity.

R4R is going to settle the debate in the coming weeks. (4-14-20, 4:58 PM), It is fixable. But after the fact of our sinfulness, our fallenness, our brokenness, given that many persons are weak in many ways, and so cannot bring themselves to accept the Catholic religion, God permits them other paths to salvation, which are nevertheless always through Christ and His Church (even though they may not realize this). Shall we list the many who have done this? Now, back to what Taylor Marshall said: this statement bothers me more, I think its more heretical, more grievous than anything in Amoris Laetitia. This mainstream trad Catholic dalliance with the schismatic SSPX (canon 751) is beginning to endanger the souls of the faithful and it needs quashing with dispatch.

Timothy replied in that discussion thread: Its not a matter of opinion. This shouldnt be engaged in public. In a Catholic World Report review, Favale wrote that Ask Your Husband makes no attempt at a coherent theology of marriage or womanhood., Favale said the books author proof-texts, pulling quotes from scripture, magisterial texts, and random websites (gotquestions.org?) Thus, when there are disagreements, how can two mini-popes with their little online fiefdoms resolve a difference? Everyone KNOWS what the modernists were trying to do.

Self-described feminist singer Paula Cole had a hit single in 1996 titled Where Have All the Cowboys Gone, in which she bemoaned the dearth of real men (Where is my John Wayne; where is my prairie song; where is my happy ending; where have all the cowboys gone?). Tim Gordon was a high school theology teacher at a Catholic school in California. Taylor Marshall and Timothy Gordon. But David said his brothers argument misses the point. And it needs to be exposed, David said. And when Marshall says more hereticalthan anything in Amoris Laetitia, he implies a further accusation, that Amoris Laetitia contains heresy. And that he committed a severe public detraction of Tim. The example shown by so many conservative Catholics is gravely immoral.

For Bishop Barron to refuse a debate with Dr. Taylor Marshall, simply on the grounds that Marshall wrote Infiltration, not only substantiates Marshall's argument that the hierarchy in the Church has been infiltrated, but also furthers a narrative of what I call the Episcopal Leviathan. but for all negative comments about them. Its practically sedevacantist.. The Pillar, always interested in thorough and interesting coverage of the Churchs life, decided to tell the story more completely than what had emerged in dribs and drabs, many of them from David, on social media. The signatories to the Open Letter have committed heresy, and so has Taylor Marshall, by rejecting the teaching of the Council that no Pope can teach or commit heresy. Taylor was a guest on a R4R episode it was really good. (9:16 PM), Lets have robust discussion about the status of the SSPX (whom I still hold to be in objective schism) going forward, but in a spirit of Christian fraternity and unity.

It's really disappointing to see two Allies so publicly argue. (4:22 PM), PS: this isnt a big deal. Bestselling author of "Infiltration" and 10 other books. Its not a matter of opinion. Ill do it anytime. You are wrong on cohabitation. And then you have these very deep [sections]. I am living my life and have no time for their judgments over my soul and my family.

I read somewhere that it has something to do with the Society of St. Pius X, a group in an "irregular situation" regarding canonical status due to the founder's excommunication, but I'm not sure how exactly involved they are in the Marshall vs Gordon thing. Hes been ignoring me nearly 100% since almost immediately after he said he wouldnt do another year of TNT. I just dont want this dragging out in public. Acta non verba. I never claimed I texted Taylor yesterday. Ive been reaching out for months; just defending myself against slander[.] Accusing the Pope of speaking, teaching, or believing heretical things is heresy, as the Pope is protected by the prevenient grace of God from teaching or being a heretic in any way. Its all my idea the way I framed it and created it into an argument, into a cogent thoughtfor someone to waltz in and take that stuff that they don't know about, and to beat me to the punch publishing my own book, filled with my own research, its theft of years of my life.. The Firing of Tim Gordon. But that influence wasnt plagiarism, he said. If the book were pulled from publication, you might have thought it would be after the publisher faced pushback from scholars taking issue with its provocative reading of the Catholic intellectual tradition. Even atheists recognize that fact. Then, too, anyone who stands in judgment over the Pope, violating the teaching and law that no one may judge the Pope, commits the sin of schism. All else is minutiae, God bless FSSP! Dont act as if fringe groups and their leaders arent the mob w/ gang bosses on Cath twitter. They talk about tough things but have a good time!

Marshall then objects to the phrase in the Open Letter heretical Pope. Ron I know under Canon law the pope can resign, but does The conclave then examine the resignation to see if it meets Canon law and was freely done? Ill continue to hope.).

The basic distinction between masculine and feminine, and why the sexes are not equal but complementary. If anyone can enlighten me, that would be appreciated. However, around Easter of 2020 (during the pandemic), I found a bunch of people suddenly debating each other in Catholic circles regarding Marshall and Gordon (taking sides, calling the other side uncharitable, etc) and that, somehow, fellow internet Catholic Michael Voris of Church Militant got involved. As Faramir says of war: sin makes corpses of us all. One has the right to defend ones reputation, For the annals of history: I didnt leave. I was non-renewed against my wishes. Feminism is an attack on the God-given structure of the family the patriarchal headship.

You said precisely about a schismatic slur. David said he would not answer questions or speak on behalf of his employer. Another wrong SSPX talking point. Now, recall (above) when Taylor Marshall said that if you accuse the Pope of heresy you also have to say: And therefore I am not in communion with him.
