The SSPX equaling formal schism stuff is wrong, as far as I know. I said I’ve reached out several times in the New Year w/ scarcely a response. I never claimed I texted Taylor yesterday. I can get over combat fast, cuz I’ve done a lot of literal and figurative fighting Wish ALL of them into the Kingdom of Heaven I’ll speak to ANY of these guys I’ve ever crossed swords with. Timothy Gordon replied on 4-13-20, at 8:36 PM and 8:54 PM:Īgreed. Sorry, Taylor! And it ain’t gonna be clan chieftains Chris Ferrara or Steve Skojec or John-Henry Westen or Michael Voris or Patrick Coffin (who all preside over their own echo-chambers) either. I guess Taylor Marshall ain’t Braveheart. ” Delighted to hear that! Quasi-schism is starting to fade. Steve Skojec opined on 4-14-20 ( 5:10 PM): “Our coalition is dwindling. When Catholics set themselves up to judge and condemn popes and bishops its not long before they are judging and condemning one another. Unfortunately, we have a number of chieftains, some with significant egos and no William Wallace.įr. The problem is, in order to unite the clans, as in the analogy, a William Wallace is needed. Steven O’Reilly made the obvious point in a tweet underneath Timothy Gordon’s ( 4-13-20, 5:20 PM): But the other fault lines inherent in such an arbitrary and quasi-schismatic movement were bound to come out sooner or later. Outward unity among the reactionaries has been fairly solid, since all alike detest and despise the pope (“my enemy’s enemy is my friend.”). (If recent history is a guide, I won’t get a reply. Update: called Taylor a little bit ago to wish Happy Easter Monday and bury the petty squabbles. Regarding : I’m happy to chat, do a show, slap high fives and come together about the (majority) stuff we agree on OR do a civil show about the (minority) stuff we disagree on. Timothy had tweeted earlier in the day on April 13th, at 4:34 PM and 5:33 PM: Now it’s happening to the one who was his partner. But at first disagreement (my critical review of his book, Infiltration) I was immediately banned from his Twitter page and have been the fodder for his (rather juvenile and petty) insults ever since. Taylor had highly recommended my work for years, thanked me in at least one of his books, and carried an ad for my books on his site for several years. It had become clear we didn’t agree about Taylor’s evolving position on the SSPX, but I wished to continue: we were still bringing souls to the Church together, which matters most to me (4-16-20, 3:20 PM) He later revealed exactly why he was “snubbed”:įor the annals of history: I didn’t “leave.” I was non-renewed against my wishes. I wondered why I hadn’t seen Timothy’s face on the ubiquitous Taylor Marshall videos as of late. R4R is going to settle the debate in the coming weeks. 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’s brother David (words in purple below) apparently started the current controversy with this tweet: It turns out that Taylor Marshall and Timothy Gordon have had a disagreement regarding SSPX going back to January. It was long overdue, though completely predictable. His cohort in over 100 videos, Timothy Gordon, publicly spoke out against this, and all hell has broken loose in reactionary ranks, and we have a civil war. This happened on Easter Sunday when Taylor Marshall received the sacraments from the SSPX: the breakaway group which is in imperfect communion with the Catholic Church. See the pattern there?īut now and then, a high-profile reactionary actually becomes more “diabolically self-consistent” (though further from the truth) and ventures over the line. No particular deference is due to him (think “Protestant”). The pope is a valid pope, but only worthy to be bashed and lied about week in and week out. Vatican II is a valid ecumenical council, yet it is trashed all the time and regarded as fundamentally less authoritative than Vatican I and (especially) Trent: even though Pope Benedict XVI (the bitterly disappointing former darling: because he resigned), writing in 1985, made it clear that Vatican II and Trent have precisely the same authority. The ordinary form Mass is still valid, yet it is trashed all the time and regarded as “objectively inferior.” And Catholics who attend it are despised and looked down upon, as second-class Catholics. Radical Catholic reactionaries love to habitually go up to the “line” but not quite go over it.
