Summary: Dr. Taylor Marshall laments Tucho Fernandez’s newly revealed scandalous work. But ‘zips it’ about Leo (posted on Substack on 12/12/2025)
Yesterday, following the news broken by Michael Haynes (Substack, Per Mariam: Mater Dolorosa) and LifeSite News (covering the report of El Wanderer of more spiritual-erotic writings being unearthed of the head of the DDF, Cardinal Fernandez), one could easily predict that Trad Inc would huff and puff at Cardinal ‘Heal me with your mouth’ ‘Tucho’ Fernandez. Accordingly, I restacked a Chris Jackson quote on Substack as below with my comments predicting that Trad Inc would exclusively target Tucho, while failing to notice Prevost’s (Pope Leo) role in all of it all:
And the face of Trad Inc, didn’t disappoint.
Dr. Marshall immediately put up a video (12th December) lambasting the odious Cardinal.
This blog will perhaps save you your 51 minutes of Dr. Marshall’s tirades, laments, Jesuit lisp imitations, and not to mention 20 minutes (give or take) dedicated to endorsements in order to make a living from webinars, to Catholic calendars, from Rome pilgrimages (ironic?) to books authored by himself, and to liver tonic-formula (I kid you not – this guy is close to being a snake oil salesman) where you are repeatedly reminded to use the promo code “35% off with Taylor. T-A-Y-L-O-R.” And if you are looking for the TLM somewhere, Taylor’s got you covered. He even advertises for a realty company that can help you relocate, all in the middle of his show. I guess a man has to earn his living any which way he can, even if he does it while lamenting about the state of Catholicism! On top of this, you can side-step the pitiable souls in his ‘super chat’ with their two-pence questions and opinions, reminding him that they exist (10 $ actually – what a fabulous way to blow up your money. What was that proverb about the fool and their money again? I do comments for free on Substack & Twitter, BTW. Follow me for more financial advise).
But let’s get to the issue.
Look, I do not doubt Dr. Marshall’s Catholic identity, his modesty, his zeal, his humility, his knowledge, and love for the faith. Those are worthy qualities. So are his sense of humour. He had me in splits with some of his expressions describing the situation concerning Tucho. For example at approximately 12:51 minutes into the video, he ridicules Tucho by displaying a picture of him in an even more ridiculous Turtleneck, a man-purse, and a huge rosary draped around his neck. Trust a Jesuit to attempt to ‘fit-in’ & ‘inculturate’ himself!
At 21:42 Dr. Marshall makes a hilarious reference to the hokey-pokey, and at approximately 21:52 he compares Tucho’s writing to a Spa treatment. Which made me literally LOL.
“If I went into a spa, I don’t. Not that I go into a spa. I don’t do spas, okay. But if I would, if I did go to a spa and there’s some dude telling me to do all this, I’m going to be upset.”
If this wasn’t hilarious enough, earlier at 06:46 minutes Dr. Marshall says:
“I don’t want this guy teaching my youth. I got eight kids. If this guy came around to catechize my youth, he’d be tarred. He’d be feathered. All my buddies from my rosary group, Bible study, we would run him out of town. I mean, I can’t even go into the details, but he’d be run out of town. He’d be gone. You know, you can go kiss witches somewhere else, but not in our parish, not in our diocese. You go kiss witches elsewhere, but even more important, repent and get, you know, renounce this stuff.”
But jokes aside. Tucho is the man put in place by Bergoglio (Pope Francis), which Dr. Marshall acknowledges. And the same man is literally building the catechesis that will potentially be taught to Dr. Marshall’s grandchildren, my grandchildren (God willing), and perhaps the rest of the future Catholic world’s grandchildren. And yet Dr. Marshall, as popular a figure as he is, is so tragically short-sighted to not realize that the problem isn’t limited to Fort Worth in Texas or to his buddies from the rosary group he attends?
Also, Tucho isn’t an isolated phenomenon. He is representative of the entirety of the homosexual ‘lavender mafia’ that constitutes 80% or even more of the priests and prelates in Vaticandom. When you have such a steep concentration of hyper-sexualized clergy, be it priests or prelate, is it any wonder that Tucho (although his sexual orientation is unclear at this point) is any different?
Further, Tucho isn’t acting out of defiance, or being disobedient to his superiors, or flouting warnings. He was put in place very evidently by deliberately side stepping his erotic writing and musings (see the screen shot posted above quoting Chris Jackson). Tucho clearly was an asset to Bergoglio in drafting Fiducia Supplicans and was the ghost writer for Amoris Laetitia (strongly rumoured). Dr. Marshall can pretend that Bergoglio and the rest of the mafia at the Vatican were unaware of Tucho’s ‘rainbow coloured’ imagination as evidenced in his writings. But as I stated previously in a different blog, this is really a bit too naïve. Tucho is subordinate directly to the Pope. And after Bergoglio, Dr. Marshall knows very well that it is now Prevost’s call to relieve Tucho from his current position. Dr. Marshall bemoans this in context with ‘a conversation’ he had with a ‘Cardinal’ (hint, hint: everybody loves Raymond):
“I was talking to a eminent Cardinal this summer in Rome and Fernandez came up. And I said with Pope Leo, now the new Pope, um, is he going to get rid of Fernandez? And this eminent Cardinal told me, he said, I believe so. I believe he’ll be out by October. We’re in December.”
Everything we are seeing makes it amply evident that Tucho/the DDF is likely to be around for a long time.
What Dr. Marshall also fails to realize is that Tucho isn’t exactly ‘the problem’. He is a product or the fruit of ‘the problem’. One can’t conceive how a man who wrote a book titled “Infiltration” (extended title: “The plot to destroy the Church from within”) cannot know this. Therefore imagine if you will, the hypothetical situation of Tucho being replaced by a latin-chanting, mild mannered, unknown prelate (with a charming smile) like Prevost (The modernist-Vaticandom already did this once. There is absolutely no reason that they cannot repeat their formula again buoyed by their success). However, imagine that the sweet-smiling, superficially ‘sanitized’, replacement continues in the same vein as Tucho: catering to the LGBTQ+, to women’s ordination, to synodality, to unity, yadda yadda, ad nauseam. Can you imagine Dr. Marshall’s disposition in that case? You can well imagine him striking up a ‘W’ (win) for Leo (Prevost) in his personal diary. He would obviously tout Tucho’s ‘removal’ as a huge ‘W’ (win) for Prevost, and he would do cartwheels, pledging himself to the latter’s service for the remainder of his life. Meanwhile, the revolution with Prevost as Pope which Dr. Marshall addresses in his afore-mentioned book “Infiltration”, would continue unabated, the faith slowly destroyed, and Dr. Marshall’s precious desire for a return to Summorum Pontificum, with permissions restored to the TLM, still a distant pipe-dream; a mirage; or the fabled Irish “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”, that keeps disappearing the moment you think you are near it.
Can Dr. Marshall live in this sort of gilded cage with a Pope and a head of the DDF who peripherally ‘appear’ as ‘decent’ personalities but who are sworn to the Revolution and who are clearly modernists? Or was the book “Infiltration”, similar to the various assorted endorsements that he parrots, just another means to an end to make a living?
