Marrs has been accused of being anti-Catholic. In 1999 he alleged that former United States President George H. W.

Christian writer Constance Cumbey has accused Marrs of plagiarizing material from her book Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow. She requested her name never be associated with Texe Marrs because of his exaggerations and blatant anti-Semitism.

In 2014, Marrs republished On the Jews and Their Lies.
