It is my opinion that Malachi Martin, especially in his later years, was mentally ill. His paranoia colored everything he said and wrote.<<
Yeah, he was nuts to think that the Church was in one of it's gravest crisises and that there was a homosexual mafia that covered up child molestation in the Church. What a loon he was for thinking that way!/sarcasm off.
Dr. Martin was a friend of mine, and the guy knew about Boston and Law's coverups in 1994 when I first met him. He was one of the first voices raised against this plague in the Church. It's a pity that people make fun of his mental state and make insinuations about his character. If more people would have listened to him in the eighties and nineties, a lot of the crap going on now could have been avoided.

For heaven's sake, the WANDERER and the NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER were talking about priestly pederasty in 1985, after Fr. Thomas Doyle gave his report to the bishops, which they promptly ignored.
Martin just struck me as a paranoid human being. David Gold of KLIF in Dallas would regularly interview him in the early and mid-90s, but finally stopped after Martin became increasingly incoherent in some of the things he said. I think he thought his novels were reality.
