Trad Inc purveyor Taylor Marshall wrote INFILTRATION while sitting at his computer plagiarising articles from other peoples' blogs. He copied the timeline I wrote on McCarrick's missing years but in order not to be plagiarising 100% Taylor Marshall reversed two notable words spoken to me by my original source but never credited where he gleaned that info. The person who told me about McCarrick's missing high school year went to Xavier at the same time McCarrick was there, is still alive and well at 95. Teddy went to Xavier for two years then went missing for a year then went to Fordham Prep his Jr and Sr years and sped to stardom graduating as their special pet student headed for the top of the Church.
If you Base your entire platform identity on supporting traditionalist atmospherics against Francis’s incursions, yet publicly pledge submission to Pope Leo, you might be in Trad INC.
If you post on your blog just days after Leo XIV's election, “Shut up, pray for the man, keep doing your thing and stay out of sight. Winter is not over. The wolves are not dead yet.” .... you might be Trad Inc.
Like Haley's Comet you come out of nowhere and we all watch in amazement as you streak across the sky. I kept reading your initial writings and wondering, who ARE you? You're the gift that keeps on giving, thank you, God bless you, God help US, God save the church.
I can't add to your great list but I'm sure there are plenty in Catholic media who see themselves in it. We see them too, we have seen them, for quite some time. It's a dangerous thing to make a living out of the church, especially now when you have to make peace with apostasy to the papal office. As always, Benedict's warning about a much smaller church come to mind. But God raises up men and women for the time. He does not leave the faithful, orphans. Your writing is very helpful, you're the voice of clarity, thank you.
How long before someone publishes an "answer key" that maps each line to one or more of the Trad Inc personae? (Is Traditio.com even still a thing?) :-)
If you think Our Lady of Fatima is a "private Revelation" and conflate it with problematic "apparitions" like Akita and obviously bogus ones like Mejugorje, you might be Trad Inc.
If you don't want to question the validity of the Bogus Ordo and the whole "reform" of the sacraments under Paul VI, you might be Trad Inc.
If you want to continue to attend you little Mass Enclave while refusing to admit the possibility that your Traditional organization is completely overrun with perverts and predators, you might be Trad Inc.
If you are still sipping your lattes and watching sportsball while the drumbeats and rumors of World War III grow darker by the day, you might be Trad Inc.
If you think that Pius XII was the best thing since the wheel and sliced bread you might be Trad Inc.
If you are satisfied with your Bogus Ordo sanitized with Bells and Smells and think that being able to kneel for Communion and receive it on the tongue is a win, you might be Trad Inc.
If you keep supporting the Vatican because you think there are still "a few good priests and bishops" you might be Trad Inc.
If you think Mt Theodore McCarrick was a Lone Wolf and that the whole college of cardinals is not infested with predators of like ilk you might be Trad Inc.
If you are immersed in the latest tweetstorms about John Henry Weston, Diane Montagna, and Bear Blood Oaths and posting lurid articles for clicks and subscribes you might be Trad Inc.
If you begin your day by checking all your Patreon, Venmo, and PayPal accounts every morning rather than on your knees dedicating the day to the Salvation of Souls, you might be Trad Inc.
If you are a supporter of Israel, lapping up the Tripe about "'Dem Evil Tranians", and following the latest movements on the Grand Chessboard thinking that any politician is going to give you a win, you might be Trad Inc.
If you are posting recipes on your Vlog with expensive ingredients like bourbon and filet mignon, you might be Trad Inc.
If the last time you mentioned Our Lady of Fatima was a passing reference about a month ago, you might be Trad Inc.
And the most important point for the salvation of souls: “If you don’t want to question the validity of tho Novus Ordo and the whole reform of the sacraments under Paul VI”, you are a card-sharper!
After reading The Great Sacrilege by Fr. James Wathen (thanks for your recommendation TW), you can’t help but call it Bogus Ordo and question its validity. Why would anyone approach doubtful sacraments?? It’s about time we came to grip with the fact that we (as in Humanity) deserve this. Chastisement and then some. Are we that “good” that we deserve and demand “valid” sacraments that displease God? Everyone should read this amazing book by an amazing priest who never compromised his Catholic Faith!
I totally agree. Few men lack the courage to escape the miasma of legalism and positivism that we have been bombarded with going back to Vatican I in 1870. Even Fr Wathen succumbed to it somewhat concerning our "Sunday Obligation".
The Bogus Ordo is the penultimate test. Are we just going to slink away from the hard questions and be satisfied with a state of "normalcy" while rationalizing that God would not possibly test us so severely, or are we going to have the courage of the Roman martyrs and face the Truth?
Even more dismaying is the silence, or even enthusiastic approval, of those, especially among “conservative Catholics,” who persist, against all evidence, in seeing Leo’s pontificate as a break with Jorge Bergoglio, while in reality it has so far been in evident continuity with what the Argentine Jesuit began. As one commentator on these events has rightly observed, the salesman has changed, but not the product, which remains counterfeit.
I'd like to hear your take on the assertion regarding "active participation" in the article at TIA by Dr Carole Byrne; I've read interminable arguments about what "active participation" really means, but is it a bogus argument?
Time to blunt the tip of the spear, and expose this naked emperor?
By common consent, the post-Vatican II Hierarchy of the Church maintains that “active participation” of all the faithful in the liturgy is “the aim to be considered before all else” (1) – even, as it turned out, before respect for Tradition, reverence for the Blessed Sacrament, a sense of the transcendent, or decorum and modesty in the house of God.
Just how did the Bishops arrive at this astonishing conclusion? By falsely presenting the reforms they have implemented as a continuation of the work of Pope Pius X whose motu proprio, Tra le Sollecitudini (TLS) first contained the word “active” in its Italian (though not, significantly, in its Latin) version to describe lay participation in the Mass.
Outstanding! ... not only are you calling them out without having to use names, but you're basing the assessment on obvious inconsistencies and contradictions in their actual BEHAVIOR that cannot be explained other than by some external influences, rather than merely engaging in pure speculation.
Brilliant, true and funny. Thank you Chris!
Except for the 'might be'.
This is so awesome…and hits so many people…Trads as they think of themselves…all at once. Thank you.

Exactly. What if they had a Bogus Ordo and nobody came. What keeps this Apostasy rolling is the compliance of the Sheeple.
