Over the summer of 2019, there was a lot of righteous anger among traditional Catholics online (and in real life) over the fact that the folks in charge of the Vatican the last decade had placed Pachamama idols—idols Burgles’ staff admitted to Catholic News Agency were not the Blessed Virgin Mary—in various Catholic Churches in Rome, including St. Mary Transpontina near the Vatican.
Dr. Taylor Marshall and I had decided to go dunk these wicked idols, but he had to bail at the last minute. I still went to Rome, in any case, with a different Taylor M. (not kidding) and a traditional gentleman from England.
You see, Dr. Marshall and I had a big argument over this miscommunication but later reconciled. We actually discussed this reconciliation on his show on narcissism several years after the following event, but we did not exactly name the event you are about to read about because you-know-who was still alive. We discussed how narcissists don’t know how to apologize, and yet Dr. Marshall and I had to apologize each to each other for various parts of this event. I’m glad we did that.
In any case, Marshall sent Mr. Alexander Tschugguel into Transpontina to trash the idols very early on 21 October 2019. However, because I had lost contact with Marshall due to our argument, I didn’t know he sent in Tschugguel at 6am. Thus, the other Taylor M. and I went into Transpontina at 9am and got caught while trying to escape with the abominations in that temple. (Keep in mind Tschugguel bravely trashed several idols, but the wicked folks running Rome had many back-up idols at that point that we were able to intercept in the following body cam footage you are about to see.)
We entered with construction vests (not my religious habit) in the hopes to look official. But again, we didn’t know we were walking into a high-alert Church, so Traspontina was already buzzing with extra eyes and ears on the scene. They caught us on the way out with Pachamamas as you will see in the following 73-second video. Although we wore body-cams to document the dunking of the idols, we didn’t expect to get caught so soon before exiting the building.
My hands grasped the Pachamama idol while carrying it out of the Roman Church before we got caught, as you will see in the video.
We had two options when detained as you will see in the video: 1) Barrel past the skinny lady and fat man, dunk the idols…and then get accused of violence by Vaticanistas… or… 2) Hand over the idols… and we did the latter.
Not knowing we walked into a high-security situation, we had to choose number two in order to avoid making traditional Catholics look like violent people. The left would have surely made us into that if we had pushed out way out of the Church with the idols. I don’t know. Maybe we should have done that anyway.
Without the idols, we escaped out the back door with a get-away car waiting for us. We then went to a cafe to find out that Tschugguel had beat us in there by three hours! I was truly shocked because I didn’t know how close we had been to being the first to trash the idols after three months of people complaining online. I guess Divine Providence saw Alexander better fit for this mission. Marshall later reminded me it would have been the end of me upon publication, whereas a layman could get away with it, so to speak.
Why release this video 7 years later? Part of me forgot this happened. Part of me only felt safe releasing this after you-know-who died. I am releasing it on this seldom-viewed pack-page called “Life Updates” and my new substack. You can share it with friends if you want, but I fully admit that the following video is more embarrassing than glorious.
Oh well, we tried to stop idolatry in Catholic Churches when thousands of others online just complained about it. Here’s the video from our combined body cams that has been private (unlisted) for six years until today:
