Dear Francis, We write to you as fellow sinners, in great need of God’s mercy. In various ways — especially through your Synod on Synodality and persistent opposition to proselytism — you have asked Catholics to have respect for all baptized Christians and their particular religious beliefs. This openness to the religious beliefs of others … Read more
For several decades, many of the most ardent and capable defenders of Catholic tradition have debated the question of how to respond to a heretical pope. Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, for instance, had this to say about the reign of Paul VI: “Perhaps one day, in thirty or forty years, a meeting of cardinals gathered together … Read more
But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.” (Matthew 5:37) Almost two years ago, Francis opened his Synod on Synodality by telling the world that he intended to “create a different church”: “The Holy Spirit guides us where God wants us to be, … Read more
Why is it that men like Francis, who do so much to attack the Catholic Church and its traditions, nonetheless fight tooth and nail to defend the Second Vatican Council? In other words, how can a man who partners with the leaders of the Great Reset, advances the LGBTQ movement against traditional morality, apologizes for … Read more
In his biography of Cardinal Augustin Bea — “Because he was a German!”: Cardinal Bea and the Origins of Roman Catholic Engagement in the Ecumenical Movement — Fr.

As Michael Matt discussed in his recent Remnant Underground, the opening of the Abrahamic Family House provides yet another concrete indication that Francis’s “church of accompaniment is obviously abandoning the Divine commission of Jesus Christ to go and convert all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and Son, and the Holy Ghost.” … Read more
As we end the liturgical year, and begin another Advent with Francis still occupying the papacy, we cannot escape the reality that the Church’s crisis has grown significantly worse over the past year. All but the most obstinate self-deceivers recognize that Rome has not only lost the Faith but has also become the loudest voice … Read more
In his 2018 article in The Remnant, Can the Church Defend Herself Against Bergoglio?, Christoper Ferrara presented the case for bishops to call an imperfect council to remove Bergoglio: “So what can be done to defend the Church against Bergoglio? That the mode of papal election by cardinals has persisted for nearly a thousand years … Read more
For the sake of argument, think about how the Catholic world would react if we soon had a saintly pope who restored the Church’s liturgical practices to their pre-Vatican II state, solemnly denounced all of the heresies that have proliferated since Vatican II, excommunicated the various false shepherds, and embarked upon a holy path of … Read more
