TRADITIONAL “CONVERSION” AND OUR LADY: Archbishop Viganò Speaks to Radio Spada

Radio Spada (RS): Your Excellency, we are happy to “complete” our interview with you, which we began in March on the occasion of the presentation of the new book Neo-Vatican Gallery by Marco Tosatti, along with your preface (in addition to the English translation, the book has also been published in Italian and Spanish). First of all, let’s observe that that first conversation went all over the world in just a few weeks; it was translated into many languages and opened a lively debate. There was widespread interest and attention; here and there a few minor criticisms – above all on the theme of “Benedict XVI” – but not very consistent on the theological level: the polemic mainly concerned the theme you raised in relation to a certain Hegelian influence on the thought of Ratzinger. Have you been aware of this aspect of the discussion? If you like, this interview could be an occasion for you to reply; otherwise, we can proceed with the rest.

Faithful to the Mission? An Open Letter to the President of St. John’s University

Earlier this semester the Office of Equity and Inclusion engaged the Transgender Training Institute to conduct an LGBTQ+ climate assessment. As I read the survey results, I was disheartened to learn about the many negative experiences of our LGBTQ+ students, employees, and alumni: a lack of support, neglect, ignorance, bias, and prejudice. As the report indicates, our non-binary and transgender members have experienced acute distress, and the lack of BIPOC participants leaves gaps in our knowledge of the oppression experienced by those who hold multiple minoritized social identities. It is clear, both from the climate survey and my own observations, that much work needs to be done to transform St. John’s into a place that is equitable and inclusive for LGBTQ+ people.

The board announced Wednesday morning that Facebook needed to decide within six month s—hey, take your time, Mark, you’re a busy guy!— how long Trump’s suspension would last, or if it would be permanent —Gee, Mr. Zuckerberg, Melania and I sure appreciate that!

The 1963 Vatican Enthronement of Lucifer: A ‘Windswept House’ Update

Kathy Thompson’s article about the late Fr. Malachi Martin’s book Windswept House ( The Remnant, April 30 ) was very interesting, but its chronology regarding the enthronement of Lucifer in the heart of the Vatican needs clarification. I am able to contribute some personal testimony of my own about this matter that I believe will interest Remnant readers. Also, it will add to what is publicly known about a reported event which, if indeed it took place, was very probably a significant factor in exacerbating that ‘smoke of Satan’ which has corrupted so many aspects of the Church’s life and witness since Vatican Council II.

Debtonomics

In addition to the trillions of stimulus monies, the Biden Administration’s push for tax increases and another $2.3 trillion for “infrastructure” makes for a toxic financial cocktail that has the potential to turn the 2021 recovery into a recession-sized hangover.
