    CORRECTION: Kennedy Hall has said I "lied" about him and that it was another group he worked with, and not him, who took down his video about evolution (even though "The Kennedy Report" is in the background of it). I asked him if he still agreed with everything he said in the original video and he has not yet replied. So, I retract my statement that "to his credit, Hall took the original video down." I mistakenly commended Hall for thoughtfully reconsidering what he said in light of fair criticism. It appears I was mistaken.

      Trent, you definitely have good will and you are a good man. But here are two things you got wrong:
      1 - Belief in the Theory of Evolution (cite the evidence, lets take a look at it)
      2 - Stating Bishop Barron is doing a good. How can a bishop who states we may reasonably hope that all people will be saved or that Christ is the priviledged way help save souls unless he first corrects himself? I would venture to say that many souls that take these two statements to heart are lost
      I recommend that you read books by Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, Philip Johnson, Ann Gauger, and anybody else from Discovery Institute. One simply excellent book is "Heretic: One Scientist's Journey from Darwin to Design" by Matti Leisola. The theory of evolution (which is not based on fact, but on bad philosophy) is fundamental for Marxism in all its forms. If you want to put a dent in the devil's plan for man, read some of these books. Learn about this. See if the biochemistry or fossil record matches up with what evolutionists want us to believe. God bless

I don't think it matters what Rutherford or whatever his name is thinks about this comments in the said video (which I did see years ago). UnRationality Rules believes its ok to genocide unborn children, so why would I give a damn about what he thinks Kennedy gets wrong about Coelacanth?? Seems like one error (if it even is one) it a hell of a lot bigger than the other. We need to ignore people like them and form and build up our own communities, not tear down other catholics. Its atheistic materalists like that long haired freak with the credibility problem, not Kennedy.ç

      The DJ feast wasn't because of a catholic tradition, the feast is about alternative medicine, and specifically about a pagan (-ish) ritual performed by a catholic priest.
      Here is a video of the "exorcism" with father Fontes:

In Marshall’s video, he talks about a correspondence in which a child asks Francis about altar serving, and Francis mocks the Tridentine mass that he served as a boy.
    I have read that book from cover to cover and that particular correspondence that Marshall refers to is not in the book Dear Pope Francis. He must have seen it online in picture form and never bothered to check the actual book.

    Rad trads - exhibit radical behavior against the Church
    Mad trads - angry about the state of the Church
    Sad trads - despair over the state of the Church
    Glad trads - optimistic about the state of the Church
    Chad trads - self explanatory
    Lad trads - your friends telling you to go to the TLM for the 100th time
    Bad trads - they try to be trad, but they enjoy sinning too much
    Fad trads - are only trad because it’s trendy (how weird is that)
    Fradd trads - have watched every interview on Pints with Aquinas
    Plaid trads - wearing a polo is sacrilege, should be wearing a tux
    Dad trads - you wish you had one, you wish you didn’t have one
    Grad trads - educated in every facet of church history and magisterial documents
    Clad trads - wear medieval armor and LARP as Crusaders
    Thad trads - name at least one son Thaddeus (the rest follow after the other apostles)
    Ad trads - sellouts: are you depressed, well you need the devotional stuff of St Therese of Lisieux!

      @@catherine1886 "better to pretend... that the pope isn't evil" - You should probably mention that comment in your next confession friend. Unless His Holiness has made his motives known to you and you alone, that's speculating on the state of his soul - which is a sin. And a grave one at that. This is exactly what "Judge not lest ye be judged" is referring to. His actions certainly seem to have evil consequences (i.e. TC) but these can easily be explained by incompetence or His Holiness being manipulated by bad actors. Certainly we can say "x action was evil". But the moment you say "this person is evil", you've made a judgement as to the state of their soul - which again, is a grave sin (and would be mortal with full knowledge and consent of the will - but only you know that, so I won't speculate on whether it was mortal in your case). In any case, I'd mention it to your confessor next time you go for confession. God Bless you - you're in my prayers!

    I know many traditionalist priests (icksp, sspx, etc) have all said that American catholics, whether liberal, traditionalist or in the middle are fundamentally different from catholics everywhere else and i have to agree. Of course not every single person would fall into this category but ive seen so many from both sides be so sensationalist and make mountains out of molehills, whilst us in Europe look in confusion. I'm not sure if it's the protestant founding of the US but it seems even amongst the most traditional American catholics there's this odd rejection of authority and a sort of revolutionary spirit which seems fitting more of masonic founding fathers rather than Catholics. As someone who has never attended a Novus Ordo in my life and only gone to the TLM, I can see there's a clear difference across the Atlantic, and yea i think it would do good for some of these people to stop being so reactionary to every single thing.

      "...being so reactionary..." I have a tendency to listen to the reactionaries to settle things in my mind. Englander Michael Haynes has written "Catechism of Errors" to denounce the Catechism of the Catholic Church and I am grateful for his putting such arguments in print. He denounces the Vatican II council, the catechism, and the revision of canon law which have almost insidiously changed the whole substance of the Church. I wonder where the faithful bishops are, who have not objected to all the really awful things that have gone on in the last 60 years. It is also an obstacle to have to spend an hour or more listening to these drawn out arguments by some of the more popular reactionaries.

      The church has called "religiously irrelevant" the evidence that the peace-loving family used to throw dead cats into the rubbish bin.
      But the claim by historians which will arguably be most upsetting for followers is the recently uncovered written evidence that it was not, as thought, a lightning bolt which led to the then 21-year-old's spontaneous declaration he wanted to become a monk. Rather, it was his desperation to escape an impending arranged marriage.

I was there, we started (after not sleeping through the night) with praise and worship music to wake the children at 6:30 AM, (I say this as a lady in her 30s) then we went into the DJ set at 7 AM to really wake the kids up. There was not a soul on the grass that appreciated it but the priests and bishops (especially the Eastern Catholics) who clearly got some sleep the night before, LOVED IT. Whilst we were crawling out of our sleeping bags they were floating about head bagging like the best of them. Mass wasn’t for another couple of hours and once the set fulfilled it’s waking function then we were back into praise and worship music.

Brought my husband with me, a fallen away Catholic too.
      I came back, and when watching videos, I started seeing all these rad trads and listening to what they were saying. I almost did not stay.

    I disagree with TM and Kennedy in relation to the COVID-19 vaccines and I especially disagree with Kennedy's young Earth creationism. But those issues are trivial compared to the problems they rightfully identify, and rail against, within the Church itself.
    The reality is, I would not have returned to the Church if it wasn't for Taylor Marshall's advocacy for the TLM. If it wasn't for the TLM I would still not be practicing the faith. You claim that TM's and Kennedy's opposition to bad teachings, and bad/improper behavior, in the Church is undermining the faith of Catholics and the attraction of others to the Faith...but I'm telling you that it is those bad teachings and bad/improper behavior of prelates in the Church that is the true enemy of faith within the Church. TM and Kennedy are just messengers, they are not the problem. You, Trent, often times gloss over or even defend those things in the Church which should be condemned and opposed. And that's not okay.
    There is simply no way to defend the DJ Priest who oversaw, what everyone in their right mind would see as, a demonic display of hedonistic imagery. You might as well make a defense of Voodoo rites and practices that culturally stem from Catholicism, because that is what you are essentially doing in defending that Priest and that whole satanically inspired display of hedonistic imagery.
    The fact is, I have yet to experience a Novus Ordo liturgy that is truly reverent, as we see in the TLM. And I spent years in the NO music ministry, playing piano, guitar and vocally. The NO liturgy takes the attention of worship toward God away from God, and directs a measure of that attention toward the people involved in the liturgy. Which seems to be a valid uninspired interpretation of Vatican 2 when the council wrote the following in Gaudium et spes, "According to the almost unanimous opinion of believers and unbelievers alike, all things on earth should be related to man as their center and crown." What? Anyone who is indwelt with the Holy Spirit knows that "all things on earth should be" directed toward God as our "center and crown." It's amazing that this sentence got put into a council document, whereby it can be so easily misinterpreted to the detriment of faith in God. In fact, the entire Gaudium et spes document is man centric (as admitted to by this excerpt, "Hence the focal point of our total presentation will be man himself, whole and entire,...") and its concepts and theology underlies many of the things Pope Francis does. Including his pursuit of destroying contemplative orders and any Catholic that try to dedicate themselves to matters of spiritualism, prayer, charity and Godly obedience, and not things of a worldly nature. This is also a motivating factor in his opposition to the TLM, which seeks proper reverence toward God as to not direct our worship toward people, as the NO liturgy does through the manifestations of Vatican 2 teachings.
    Knowing and appreciating the errors of how Vatican 2 was interpreted, in almost complete disregard for Church tradition, is key to understanding why the Church is manifesting people like Francis in the magisterium. This is the major problem that is affecting the Church, not Taylor Marshall or Kennedy's relatively miniscule missteps in a small area of their ministries.

      I think the answer is somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. The truth is, it is OK to offer rightful criticism of irreverence when it happens, such as the guitars, or less than solemn approaches that some churches have in their Masses, but the important thing is, this does not make them invalid. Criticizing these irreverent elements, however, does not amount to a criticism of the Novus Ordo itself, because the Novus Ordo itself when done in the way it was intended, is not irreverent, rather the way it is being done by those who abuse it is the problem, put simply, it is user error.

    Thank you, Trent. I really appreciate your fair, balanced, & patient work. When I was a brand new Catholic in 2020, I began watching TM. I became radically traditional very quickly, even to the point of attending a SSPX parish. TM enjoyed making videos about Bishop Barron, & through watching I became hostile toward the Bishop. When people began vandalizing statues & chapels in CA, TM made the assertion that Bishop Barron wasn't doing anything to prevent it. This was in my own backyard, as I lived in CA at the time. I became even more hostile towards Bishop Barron. A few weeks later, I happened upon a post that showed Bishop Barron peacefully offering Mass in front of a St. Junipero Serra statue in front of many angry protestors. I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen & my heart was immediately softened towards him. I checked TM's page, thinking he would post a rebuttal to his previous assertions on BB or even commend him for it. He never did. This is when I began to open my eyes about TM. I do appreciate some things I've learned from him & I am like you, Trent, in that I would still consider myself more traditional than liberal.

    I'm with trent on these issues, but I think it's obvious Marshall was joking about the hand to hand combat and it was actually rather funny. Maybe trent is taking that part a little too seriously 😅

      ​@freda7961 I don't remember him mentioning that in this video. Like I said, I agree with trent on all these matters, but the challenge is defenitely a joke, hillarious, and might be a better look to take it as one.

    I love your videos. I can tell you put a lot of thought into things before you speak. As someone considering Catholicism myself, it’s extremely difficult to make any decisions, when it feels like there’s so much confusion from the way things are represented from others. I’ll be the first to admit, I enjoy watching many of the traditionalist videos. I feel like you seem to be more charitable in not jumping to conclusions. Now listen, I’m not saying they’re wrong either. Honestly, I don’t know what to think about some of it. I just keep praying for all those involved.
    Keep up the good work. I’m sure the Good Lord is using you to touch more lives than you could even begin to realize.

    Trent:
    1. As best I recall, Kennedy Hall would have made the comment about Martin Luther with prostitutes based upon research presented to him by Lloyd De Jongh in their recent interview.
    2. Lloyd is meticulous and careful to substantiate his claims in his own videos, so if you can, I'd keep an eye out on him. He is a wild card, though, and does not reveal his religious identity while critiquing mainly Protestantism and Islam, perhaps to draw a burgeoning youtube audience. Residing in Warsaw, Poland, Lloyd is of African background with an Anglican lineage.
    3. For example, Lloyd recently did a video on Copernicus contrasting how his theory confirming the earth's orbiting the sun was treated favorably by the Catholic Church compared to his treatment by Lutherans and John Calvin.
    4. Calvin is quoted as saying it was "insane" to think that the earth orbited the sun since that contradicted the Bible.
    5. That said, I think it fair to call out Kennedy Hall and Taylor Marshall for what they presently are:
    A. Schismatics in their participation with the SSPX.
    B. Not traditionalist Catholics, since (1) to be Catholic is to be in communion with the Bishop of Rome through one's local bishop, therefore (2) their schism disqualifies them for identification as Catholic.
    C. Rather, for me they are 'Pope Kennedy' and 'Pope Taylor' who in their rash judgment appoint themselves to the position of highest authority to judge over the Catholic Church. Not without historical precedent, Martin Luther was referred to as the 'Pope of Wittenburg' and John Calvin was referred to as the 'Pope of Geneva.'

      The guy is here in the comments and he says Luther put dead cats in the bin, didn't say he killed them. I wouldn't put my cat in the bin when it's dead but it's not the same as killing cats. Many ppl in the world would think it odd that we would be upset by disposing of a dead animal in the bin, even today.

    Trent, does your church have electricity? Because that was not a part of Catholic worship for at least 1,850 years. I can attest that not having AC is tough in hot summer weather, but I always feel a bit more traditional.

    What I find perplexing and exhausting is that online trad personalities perpetuate doom and despair to such a degree that viewers are left disheartened or enraged - this is not productive. If I had found TM or others when I was in RCIA, I never would have become Catholic. One of the many joys of our faith is HOPE and CHARITY, virtues the online trad personalities are lacking.

      Actually I think this is helpful for me. I am flawed and I need reminders where my sin will take me. I think more people could do with reminders where their sin can lead them. But I don’t think all their videos are doom and gloom all the time. But I’ve been watching all of these guys (Trent, Marshall, Kennedy, Fradd, etc) for a long time. There has been great variety over the years.

    Does Tim Gordon not have a right to his good name rather than having a mistake from 4 years ago drug out into the court public opinion? How is this not detraction against him? He is not making such claims now and if he were wouldn't the Gospel require you to approach him directly rather than sharing with others his faults?

    I appreciate the comment in the intro about loving reverent Novus Ordo Mass'. I am still relatively knew to the Catholic Church. I came from the praise & worship Southern Baptist Services. I have been to the same sort of feel Catholic Mass' as well. There is a much bigger diffference in a reverent Norvus Ordo and "Praise & Worship" Norvus Ordo. I dont know Latin I am not familiar with Latin. I love the Latin that is used in my local parish Norvus Ordo Im sure a Latin Mass is beautiful but to lump all Norvus Ordo in the same pot is disengenious.

    I converted on Pentecost largely because I found Trent Horn and Matt Fradd’s channels. I was raised in a parallel Trad Protestant family culture of Fundies winding up rhetoric letting centrifugal mud fly off their the loose ends of their emotional and somewhat egotistical pot shots they called arguments. They obscure sincere, thoughtful and substitutive seekers. Our religious stand for righteousness needs no sensationalism, no weaponizing, no inflammatory rhetoric. Other than this thoughtful response by Trent, I only wish Kathryn Johnson was still alive to debate Marshall on the moon landing in Mathematical terms. Thank you, Trent. Who knew we’d need to be reminded to hate all Hitler represented and debate instead of throwing down!
