Summary: The Vatican's Fight to Stay on The World Stage
Review: 'Keys of This Blood' is a look at the forces struggling for predominance across the globe as power shifts permanently to those with international networks. Martin details The Vatican's efforts to remain a player in this dawning age. The book seems a bit dated as Martin (quite correctly I believe) viewed former Soviet leader Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev as one of the of key players in forming a world of global interdependence. Unfortunately much of Martin's vision of the future got hijacked when Gorbachev was so abruptly swept aside by the rise of professional criminal hooliganism across Russia in the form of drunken louts like Boris Yeltsin . Despite this, the book is a fascinating read and a must for anyone that wants to see how entities with long range views of the world operate. I can not wait until Martin's next book, "El Ultimo Papa", is translated from the original Spanish. It looks to be his best book yet.

Summary: interesting
Review: As a lapsed fundementalist, I read this book with some detatchment yet not without interest. I 75% agree with martin's analyis of Marxism/Leninism which is not dead but has for some time now been operating on a cultural front. Martin's take on the reforms of Vatican II, likewise was enlightening --I had only heard about them through the media. I find nothing controversial about this book. If the Christian faith is true, it is to be expected that duplicity and falsehood and worse come with the territory; was not Judas one of the twelve? If on the other hand there is no God then the Roman Catholic church (heirarchy) is the prize, for as Martin suggests it is the sole organization capable of uniting the world. Consider the example of Auguste Comte, one of the founders of sociology and professed atheist, he promoted 'science' and hated the christian religion yet at the same time, he venerated catholicism. (Dostoyevsky's Grand Inquisitor (the Brother's Karamazov)also comes to mind regarding the Roman Catholicism's unique position in the world. Reading this book has increased my admiration for Pope John Paul II. I also am thankful for the author.

Summary: Garbage, should be burned, like I did to my bible
Review: At least in the West we don't tell people how to think, unlike Catholicism and Communism. Besides what has religion ever done for anyone on this planet anyhow? NOTHING! Fear of going to hell is the only thing which compels people to "believe" in Him. Also what kind of omnipotent God would create Satan? Wouldn't a perfect God know that Lucifer would turn evil before he created him, and shouldn't God be able to destroy him then? It doesn't seem like God is very omnipotent. Why did God have to instruct Noah to build an ark to save everyone, couldn't God have just snapped his fingers and made it happen? And how could Noah fit two of every insect, bird, clam, sperm whale, grizzly bear, polar bear, arctic fox, penguin, and whatnot on this planet into his boat? And how did all these animals find their way to Noah's Ark? And where did all these different races of people come from? Did Noah take a black man, white man, yellow man, red man, or whatever on his boat too? Lastly, what kind of fool would believe the Bible is actually God's word? The bible was written by people, and it's been hacked-up, edited, re-printed, and re-translated countless number of times throughout the ages. Bibles are printed in dirty factories and then later sold for profit at KMart, they didn't come from God. To quote a certain philospher: "There was a time when religion ruled the world, it was called The Dark Ages."

Summary: Should be read by all 6 billion inhabitants of earth.
Review: Excellent book by a excellent writer. A must read for everyone alive today. Soon and very soon, there will be no conscience left. We will all be forced into one world religion. Catholicism? The Popes reliance on the "Third Secret Of Fatima" and the destruction of communism, with the evangelizing of Russia, what Dr. Martin wrote about is developing before our very own eyes. A serious warning that Americas constitution is about to dissappear forever, the Book Of Revelation is about to be fullfiled.

Summary: Too bad, Malachi didn't know Jesus Christ as his Saviour
Review: He exposed the wickedness behind the Vatican doors, especially in the Vatican basement, where ALL of the 'black witchcraft' takes place. He proved, that the "blackest witchcraft" in the world, is practiced in the basement of the Vatican. It's too bad, that the average Catholic layperson doesn't know, that THEY are being used as "CANNON FODDER" for the pope and his bunch in Vatican City. The Mexicans, especially, are being mistreated and deceived and seduced by the Vatican, especially in Mexico and Latin America - with the phony MARY worship doctrines and "Blue Army"; which is sending billions to Hell [spiritually], when they die [physically], then they find out that they've been 'lied' to, not only about the Bible Mary, "BIBLE" salvation etc., but MANY, Many other things. The priests and nuns don't care about the welfare of the Catholic laypersons; as long as they can keep seducing them for money to support their fancy lifestyles [some vow of poverty they take?], and the priests with their 'vow' of "celebracy" [they can (by Vatican rules) molest every woman in sight, usually married women, causing them to get pg] but by not getting married. Bill Clinton is/has been labelled as a "Whoremonger"; the Vatican priests, etc., are WORSE than Bill Clinton ever thought of being. Read Malachi's book, it will be a real education for you.

Summary: Ecxellent, as usual, from Fr. Martin
Review: I thought that this was excellent and fast-moving, despite it's intimidating size and subject matter. Fr. Martin writes succinctly and beautifully, his research and knowledge of the subject are obvious. I always obtain many insights from his writing, and this is no different. Wonderful insights into the geopolitical plans of all the various international power brokers. A striking part for me was the succinct history of Poland, from the time that they were just tribes, to the civilizing of Eastern Europe, their 3 pacts with God and the Church, and the history of Cardinal Wyzinski and Cardinal Wojtyla, and the role they played in the history of that great Catholic country. Fr. Martin helped me to understand a little bit where Pope John Paul is coming from, although the events have progressed 6 years beyond the scope of the story. I also sensed Fr. Martin's great love for Pope John Paul II. I have loved every book I've read by Fr. Martin. May God rest his soul.

Summary: please take Mr. Martin with a grain of salt
Review: Malachi Martin is a wonderful story teller. No one is able to craft a tale using window dressings of Catholicism better than Mr. Martin. "Keys of This Blood" is certainly Mr. Martin's most ambitious project, an attempt to sketch out in detail a vast, secret struggle for world-wide power between the secular West, the Communist East, and the Catholic Church. The first parts of the book are a very interesting historical summary of how things got to be where they are. Martin's research is frist rate, particularly his look at the intellectual currents of Communism. However, like all of Martin's works, he cannot resist showing his true colors at the end. After spending the entire book praising John Paul II, he returns to the standard attacks on the heresy of Vatican II, the coming apocalypse brought on by the Fatima prophesies, and other classic Martin fare. Much like his totally polemical work "The Jesuits", Martin uses his books as a vehicle to let out his personal frustrations with the current state of affairs of Catholicism. As long as the reader recognizes the particular ax that Martin relentlessly grinds, there alot of interesting stuff in "Keys of this Blood". But take it with a grain of salt.

Summary: Global Government Examined
Review: Malachi Martin was a prolific excorcist and an advisor to two popes. He knows what he is talking about. Without this book, you'll have a hard time ever getting this kind of insider's knowledge about the evils of the impending global government (official in May 2001) and the Vatican. Unfortunately, this book is out in the middle of a heated debate between those who champion Vatican II (Novus Ordo Mass) and those who don't. Both sides claim to be completely right. Niether will consider their own flaws, or look at the good points in the other. It's an old war in the Church, and both sides are missing out on some great points. Both sides are very bigoted toward each other. In the middle of it all, is Father Malachi Martin, just trying to tell it like it is. Both Masses are technically valid, WHEN they are executed and followed carefully, and Father Martin says that, but the real problem facing us is the new global government. Watch out for some very strange changes in 2001. For those who want to know what to expect, this book will give you some great clues. Basically, we'll be enslaved by communism. The Humanist Manefesto of the U.N. is the same as the Communist Manefesto. In this book, Father Martin explains how the Fatima prophecy was right after all.
