Windswept House

Rating:
Summary: Interesting but slow read with a cliffhanger ending
Review: This 500+ page book slowly builds to a crescendo of murder, coup de etat, satanism and evil. Unfortunately you never know how it all turns out as the last portion of the manuscript was evidently omitted. The author is now dead, so there is no chance for a sequel. How FRUSTRATING!

Rating:
Summary: This prophetic author has never been proven wrong.
Review: Many Catholics can easily identify real-life counterparts of treasonous bishops depicted in this great book. Rumor has it that Fr. Martin's July 1999 death wasn't due to natural causes.

Summary: he knew
Review: A total work of genius; artful and insightful as well.

Summary: The ugly truth behind the Conciliar Church
Review: This book is extremely shocking to say the least and I have had to put the book down at times because I broke down in tears. The opening pages are a true shock, especially when you know the actual names of the characters who presided at the satanic events in Rome and South Carolina. I have received a list of of the real names of the people who are portrayed in the book, including Cardinal Bernadin and Bishop Russell who participated in the actual Satanic event in 1963. If anyone who has read the book and is interested in obtaining a list, I will be happy to email it to you. The names on this list are shocking to say the least, but sometimes the truth is shocking. Any Catholic who reads this book should be prepared to see that the Church we see today has become the apostate Church set up by these top Vatican officials who sold their souls to the "dark side."

Summary: Implosion of Church explained
Review: As an ecclesiastical insider and official exorcist, the credentials of Father Malachi Martin to write this book are impeccable. Here at last is a credible rationale for the Church's heretofore incomprehensible implosion and which forces and why compelled Roman Catholic prelates and priests ordained before 1967 who support the aftermath of Vatican II to forget the universal vow put in place by St. Pius X that they ALL made preconditional to their ordinations to combat Modernism which, as St. Pius wrote, is the greatest heresy. It answers why warnings one could ordinarily expect of the new 'ism", globalism, the new irreligion, have not been sounded by what remains of the Church, truly a "windswept house", or by any media, secular or otherwise, and left to young people in Seattle, way ahead of most, to finally sound the tocsin.

Summary: interesting fiction
Review: I'm a little troubled that the majority of the reviewers think this is a work of fact. If so it would not be labeled fiction. He states 85% is fact. Well there is really no way to check which 15% is not true or what is true, so we assume everything is dead on accurate. I thought this would be a great thriller myserty book based on the Vatican. Instead I got the uneasy feeling he was trying to turn the general public against Catholicism (there's a novel idea and one that hasn't been tried before) by presenting his fiction as a work of truth. It's easy to hate Catholics, and it sells so I'm not surprised this book is getting glowing reviews by those who have no idea what Catholics actually believe in, but remember the urban legends they heard growing up. I bet anyone could take this idea (pretend to be a factual book) and rip on a major religion with fiction and make a mint.

Summary: A Challenging but Necessary Book
Review: To all you rationalist, cynical, scornful readers who consider "supernaturalists" uneducated and ignorant you have finally met your match, and be forewarned you will indubitably become a fan of this pious yet brilliant priest-scholar. Combining sheer brilliance (Father Martin spoke 17 languages), with an uncanny intimacy with the divine (he also was an exorcist and a deeply spiritual man), Martin in Windswept House paints an astonishing picture of the Roman Catholic Church as an institution honeycombed and totally controlled by a satanic "superforce" which thwarts the will of the "Slavik Pope". There are some extremely shocking revelations in this book. One reason for the novelistic framework within which the novel is set is due to the astonishing charges leveled at beloved clerics such as Cardinal Bernardin and New Yorks John Cardinal O'connor. Without a doubt the circumstances surrounding the death of Malachi Martin do not smell of heaven and after reading this novel and investigating the condition of the church you will better comprehend the dynamic other worldly forces at work within christianity.

Summary: FASCINATING!
Review: In a radio interview, Malachi Martin said this book was about 85% true, and that he changed only the names and certain identifying particulars, for obvious reasons. In that same interview, Father Martin was asked if he feared for his life since writing this book. Father Martin said he did, but that he was too old to change his ways. Since then, Father Martin died under very suspicious circumstances. He was found unconscious and bleeding in his home with hard wood fragments inbedded in his skull. He was taken to the hospital, and eventually woke from his coma for an instant and said it was a murder attempt, but he didn't get a chance to see who did it. Then he fell back into his coma, received the sacrament of Extreme Unction, and died. If you read this book, you'll know why his enemies couldn't let him live. He blew the lid off the satanic cabal in the church, and he even went so far as to describe their black mass in detail. As a prolific excorcist, he knew a lot more than most about Freemasons, satanists, and the communists in the Vatican. The Church is in crisis, with a war between the good guys and the bad . . . and if you ever doubt it then just check the news and ask yourself why so many murders have occured recently in the Vatican.

Summary: windswept house
Review: A fascinating read. Mr. Martin was to publish a monograph naming names from Windswept House. I understand that he is deceased now. I trust there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

Rating:
Summary: A controversial, informative and important work.
Review: It was interesting trying to decipher what is actually fiction and non-fiction in this book. Some parts were so grossly sickening that it would seem that no individual in their right mind would write this down unless it were true. You would think that the evil ones involved should have done either some harsh time or even better, death by lethal injection (religious belief not withstanding). Although it ended as though some pages were missing, it was a great book. I couldn't put it down. Father Martin was a great man and an important writer for these sometimes trying and immoral times in which we live in today.
