Fatally Flawed: A Review of Taylor Marshall's Infiltration
https://culturewars.com/news/infiltration
If you have read E. Michael Jones’ Libido Dominandi, Is Notre Dame Still Catholic?, The Jews and Moral Subversion, The Catholic Church and the Jews, The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History, and David A. Wemhoff’s John Courtney Murray, Time/Life, and the American Proposition: How the C.I.A.’s Doctrinal Warfare Program Changed the Catholic Church, then you will find virtually nothing new in Taylor Marshall’s new book, Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within.

Infiltration is disappointing largely because it miserably fails to name names and identify the real antichrist that has been waging a cosmic or universal war against the Church for the past two thousand years or so. Instead of calling out the real enemy, Taylor Marshall deliberately uses vague terms like “Liberalism,” “Modernism,” “Crypto-Modernism,” “Socialism,” or even “Communism” to describe the diabolical forces that have come to challenge the Catholic position in the culture wars. What is the ethnic group behind Communism? Protestants, Catholics, or Jews? Well, Marshall completely and astonishingly avoids addressing that issue, presumably because that could get him into trouble. And he obviously doesn’t want to tread down that path.
It seems that Marshall hasn’t picked up a copy of Yuri Slezkine’s The Jewish Century, which is published by Princeton University Press. Perhaps Marshall hasn’t read the book because he is a secret philo-Semite, as indicated throughout his book The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism & the Origins of Christianity. “God quickened the process of my conversion to the Catholic Faith with an insight that I gained from a Jewish rabbi,” Marshall writes.[1] He moves on to misrepresent the Catholic position on the Jews by saying:
" We must note that it is not correct or fair to speak of ‘the Jews’ as corporately rejecting Christ. The early Church was almost entirely Jewish. All the Apostles were Jewish and Saint Paul himself was a Jewish Rabbi. The Blessed Virgin Mary was Jewish.[2]"
So two thousand years of Church’s teaching on the Jews has just been debunked in just four sentences with no serious examination. Surely Marshall knows that the central issue has absolutely nothing to do with race or biology. Surely he knows that Catholic thinkers throughout the ages were aware of the fact that the early Church “was almost entirely Jewish” in an “ethnic” sense. So Marshall is subtly building a straw man here.
