Can you be specific?

And regardless of his views on other subjects, of which Im unaware, how does that invalidate the discussion on the liturgy.

For example, I have extreme views about the use of plastic in architecture. This doesn’t invalidate my views on the need for social welfare.
 
You mean more specific than his claim in the video that the “Novus Ordo Mass” is not Catholic? That seems extreme to me. But if one needs more, he claims to know about a secret Catholic cabal he calls “Trad, Inc.,” which is comprised of popular traditional Catholics (like Taylor Marshall) and which controls the narrative of criticisms re: the Church. That doesn’t just sound extreme to me — it sounds baffling.

I believe that some views are so out there that they call other ideas a person may have into question.

More extreme notions demonstrate that someone may have distorted ideas about everything they think.

Here are 2 examples of ideas that would just make me not listen to anything someone says.

White supremacy
Denial of the holocaust
 
Since Taylor Marshall thinks that Latin is a holy language that Satan is afraid of, I have decided to un-subscribe from his youTube channel. If that is what the trads thinks, well, I don’t even know what to say
 
I haven’t heard the actual words on this particular you tube, but Sally, all religions have ‘sacred languages’.

The more sacred something is, the more the devil fears it.

No matter what today’s thoroughly modern millie(nnial) or buxom boomer, gen A to Zer might think, the Church actually does teach that Latin when used as part of the rites (such as exorcism) is more powerful than the vernacular.

Not ‘better’ as in, “My mea culpa makes me better than you saying sorry”, but with regard to a liturgy, a more unified and powerful statement.

There is no single vernacular language in the Roman Rite that is ‘preeminent’ the way Latin is. We have English, the Romance languages, even Aramaic (and that in the Eastern Catholic is also a sacred language used for worship), but as far as Roman Latin goes, there is a reason we are ROMAN Catholics of the LATIN rite.
 
And here I thought it was because we were united with Rome, not because we used to use Latin during Mass
