True. I’m sure there were a lot of reviews based upon their idea of what they thought the book was about and not necessarily based upon their having actually read it.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider wrote the forward for Infiltration. But he may have gotten a free copy so…lol.I’ve read from the 1993 printing of A Trojan Horse in The City of God: The Catholic Crisis Explained by Dietrich von Hildebrand authorized by his wife Alice von Hildebrand with
a forward by John Cardinal O’Connor.
I do not understand because that is incorrect. A synonym literally means a word that is = to the word defined.You understand that a definition ≠ a synonym… right?
It isn’t. But there are a lot of personalities here, and some clash. If you read other threads you’ll at some point see that it does happen at times, other times people will disagree and yet one side will continue to push their side of the dialogue, other times people are respectful and agree to disagree. Reflects real everyday life.This is my first discussion on this forum but I sincerely hope that condescending one liners are not the norm here.
What metrics are used to determine this ranking? Kindly provide your source.The Taylor Marshall show is also the number one podcast in Catholic media.

syn·o·nym
1. a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language
This is my first discussion on this forum but I sincerely hope that condescending one liners are not the norm here.
English, with its long history of absorbing terminology from a wealth of other tongues, is a language particularly rich in synonyms —words so close in meaning that in many contexts they are interchangeable, like the nouns tongue and language in the first part of this sentence. Just about every popular dictionary defines synonym as a term having “the same or nearly the same” meaning as another, but there is an important difference between “the same” and “nearly the same.”
Noun synonyms sometimes mean exactly the same thing. A Dalmatian is a coach dog —same dog. A bureau is a chest of drawers. And if you ask for a soda on the east coast of the U.S., you’ll get the same drink that asking for a pop will get you farther west. The object referred to remains constant. But forest and wood, though often interchangeable, have different shades of meaning: a forest tends to be larger and denser than a wood. And when we move from nouns to other parts of speech, we almost always find subtle but important differences among synonyms: although the meanings overlap, they differ in emphasis and connotation. A sunset might be described equally well as beautiful or resplendent, but a beautiful baby would not usually be described as resplendent, which implies an especially dazzling appearance. The verbs make and construct mean roughly the same thing, but one is more likely to make a cake but construct a building, which is a more complex undertaking.
Lists of synonyms are useful when we are struggling to write and looking for just the right word, but each word must be considered in light of its specific definition. Notes at the bottom of a dictionary entry—especially usage notes and synonym studies—are often where we’ll find the detailed information that allows us to improve (or refine or polish ) our writing.
it’s called getting the kindle version, like me and many others didCrusader13:
This is true! I do wonder, though, how 1000 people managed to get a copy that quickly. Amazon didn’t order nearly enough copies and ran out very early on. Up until at least a couple of days ago, Marshall’s co-host Timothy Gordon hadn’t even received one yet.gracepoole:
In all fairness he only asked 200 people to read an advanced PDF version. He didn’t mail out 1000 copies to 1000 people.He basically bought a thousand positive Amazon reviews by giving away free copies to his most ardent sycophants.
ExactlyWith this there are very strong parallels with The Temple & synagogue system which many to maintain their status in society chose to overly cooperate with the Roman Empire & societal realities than form peaceful resistance and what has transpired today between Church & the various elements of the ‘secular humanist society’. I hope and pray for someone to write a detailed well sourced work to show this.
