Marshall and Gordon are exceptionally smart people who can say things that others fear to say.
I think they’ve discussed how Bishop Barron is likely to be named to the empty see of Birmingham AL, to “rein in” EWTN. As I understand it, EWTN is an independent corporation, but the priests, nuns, brothers would be under his control.
Altogether, TnT (Marshall and Gordon) discuss Vigano, Schneider, et al. who are very concerned about the homosexual infiltration of the Church and the hundred-year old threat of the Freemasons to destroy the Church. The global sex abuse crisis, global sex misconduct scandal, the almost incredible diversion of Church funds to pay settlements to abuse victims, the un-apostolic actions of bishops in shielding sexual abusers, etc. are real. TnT are not paranoid nor otherwise delusional about what is going on and what future outcomes are likely in the Church.
Years ago, Fr Benedict Groeschel (on EWTN) predicted that it would take generations for the Church to dig itself out of the mess it is in, and he was reflecting on the situation as it was known since 2002. He said that the Church had handed the sword to its critics. Ralph Martin and Fr John Riccardo and Al Kresta have spoken about the DIRE situation the Church is in, how the US bishops “have lost all credibility.”
TnT (Taylor and Tim) are NOT outside the boundary of concerned Catholics. Lay Catholics cannot just bury their heads in the sand, because these problems will not take care of themselves and we need to stand up to the hierarchy as strongly as Priests for Life have stood up to oppose abortion.
Other Catholic voices are saying THIS is the worst crisis the Church has ever faced. And the focus is on Pope Francis, because he could FIX these things because of his absolute power.
There are deep questions about Pope Francis. WHY has he not traveled back to his home country of Argentina, as Pope John Paul II went to Poland and Pope Benedict XVI went to Germany? There are deep questions about his alleged misconduct in handling priest predators in Argentina.
Even in other Church matters, Pope Francis has raised doubts about his writing that divorced and remarried Catholics may receive the Eucharist, which runs against standing Church policies. And, why is Pope Francis worried about plastic in the oceans while he has a global sex abuse crisis in his hands?
TnT use youtube as a low cost way to raise the questions that need to be answered. IMHO
