| | Fr. Malachi Martin, R.I.P |
 | | He was, after all, a threat to those who promote the Church's slippery slide from orthodoxy to ecumenical compromise, to acceptance of the "diversity" of heresy and ultimately, the open advocacy of sin, especially in matters of family life (contraception, abortion, assisted suicide, euthanasia) and its ugly relatives--fornication, adultery, masturbation, homosexuality. |
 | | The plan of it was to deal with papal primacy, and to analyze the shift--seen in some of the Council documents and John Paul II's writings and recent ecumenical outreaches--indicators of the papacy's changed understanding of its role in recent years, as the first breakdown of papal power in two millennia. |
 | | Lehmann-Haupt's review of Martin's The Encounter, quoted in the obituary, assumes knowledge of Martin's conscience ("hate (of) God") that is both impossible and implausible. |
