CIC NEWS: Calling one million Catholics to make a global Act of Reparation for the Abomination of Desolation in St. Peter’s Basilica. Join via Livestream!
In his first papal encyclical, E Supremi Apostolatus, St. Pius X set forth his plan “to restore all things in Christ and to lead men back to submission to God.” In that encyclical, St. Pius X not only exhorted Catholics to combat doctrinal errors but also counseled against a bitter zeal that threatens the entire apostolic work.
While much attention has been given to more recent failings—the systematic cover-ups, the reassignment of abusive priests, the suffering of survivors—less examined is the spiritual and theological ethos that made such concealment thinkable, even defensible, in the minds of those trusted with the Church’s care.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk ignited a bitter congressional clash over prayer, revealing deep partisan fractures and urging a return to prayer as a unifying, sacred act rather than a political weapon.
Michael Matt reveals a secret strategy for influcing the outcome when it comes to the Vatican, even the popes.
In a year crowded with commemorations from wartime victories to pop culture milestones, the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea underscored a deeper legacy: the forging of the Nicene Creed that shaped Christianity and Western Civilization. Amid a culture that avoids absolutes, the creed endures as a countercultural declaration of timeless truths.
It is true: Traditional Catholics are resolved to adhere to the unadulterated Catholic Faith that for almost two thousand years stood in the way of the unholy ideologies that now reign in Rome since the Second Vatican Council. May God grant Leo XIV the grace to see this clearly and the courage to act heroically to restore what has been lost for sixty years.
In your charity, please keep the repose of the soul of Peter Matt in your prayers. Cousin Peter was my father’s nephew, and the youngest son of my father’s brother, Alphonse Matt. He is uncle to the current editor of The Wanderer, Joseph Matt. Peter will be laid to rest on Wednesday, September 24th and, especially since he was always a friend to all of us here at The Remnant, I would ask Remnant readers to please pray for him and also the consolation of his family.
Pope Leo’s first public interview… Fr. James Martin says Leo is continuing the vision of Francis, but the mainstream headlines disagree, claiming he said “no Church doctrines will be changed”. So who’s got the right take? Michael Matt brings some much needed perspective.
The abandonment of the Catholic Church by many young people is one of the most terrible current phenomena. Identifying the causes and remedies of such a situation is, without a doubt, the responsibility of all of us who have children and grandchildren. To this end, we must seek answers from masters of Catholic religious life close to our own times. One of them is Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard (1858–1935), the confessor of several generations of young French people.
Pope Leo XIV has suppressed two dioceses in China and established a new one. Two main implications. First, the Pontiff has chosen to continue fully in line with Francis’s approach to relations with the Chinese Communist Party. Second, the Pontiff has opted for a sharp change of course compared to what appeared to be his initial governing stance on this sensitive issue.
Pope Leo XIV reassured Catholics in his first published interview that he will not change Church doctrine on gay marriage and women deacons. He was also asked about the TLM debate which dominates our world, but which did not figure prominently in the life of the Pope when he was head of the Augustinians down in Peru for the past twenty-five years. Leo lived his entire priestly life without a dog in this particular fight. He told the inerviewer, Elise Ann Allen, that he needs to discuss this issue further, and he could very well mean it!
Whatever is true and beautiful is Catholic, and on the topic of creation science, many Protestants are in agreement with the Fathers and Doctors of the Catholic Church. Here are five science books by Protestant scientists that restore the traditional Catholic understanding of Creation.
“For the second time, let the Americas hear this holy cry: I die, but ‘God does not die!’ Viva Cristo Rey!” Anacleto shouted, echoing the final words – “Dios no muere!” – of Gabriel Gregorio Fernando Jose Maria Garcia Moreno y Moran de Butron (1821-75), the assassinated president of the Republic of Ecuador.
Francis liked to condemn the rigid and backward Traditional Catholics, many of whom may not appreciate the spectacle that Leo XIV and team arranged to help celebrate the legacy of Francis. On what grounds, though, can Traditional Catholics criticize Jelly and “drone Francis” hanging over St. Peter’s?
In the matter of two young children who were recently shot dead during School Mass in Minneapolis, should this be regarded as murder or as martyrdom? We ask this question because in the aftermath of this horrific tragedy, which took place in a Catholic church, many people are proclaiming the victims to be martyrs.
As teenage athletes sprint toward scholarships, sign outrageous NIL deals before mastering shaving, Flynt’s story resonates as a reminder that athletic prowess is not always livestreamed. Flynt is no superhero, far from it. He’s flawed, reflective and intense. Flynt is not chasing glory, he is walking with grace, orthopedic inserts and all.
From today’s perspective, I view everything with increasing criticism, including the Second Vatican Council, whose texts most people have already left behind, always invoking its spirit. Looking back, I have to say that the “springtime of the Church” never came; what came instead was an indescribable decline in the practice and knowledge of the faith, widespread liturgical formlessness and arbitrariness (to which I myself contributed in part without realizing it). +Marian Eleganti
In this week’s Remnant Underground: Christ or chaos – kids shot dead in a Catholic Church, Charlie Kirk assassinated, a Ukrainian refugee butchered by a demon. What’s the solution?
The world sees the Catholic Church today that is presented by the cafeteria-Catholics in the pews and the false shepherds in Rome, whose words and deeds tell the world that souls do not really need to be Catholic, let alone follow what the Church has always taught. As long as Rome allows this reality to persist, many people who hear the Catholic pro-life message will naturally (but falsely) conclude that the Church’s teaching is no more than a recommendation — if it was truly something God commanded us to follow, they reason, then there would not be so many bishops, priests, and laity opposing it.
RTV’s Throw Back Thursday offering gets to the root cause of the diabolical chaos through which we’re living now. Here’s why blood is flowing in the streets of the New World Order…
In a X post dated August 17, 2025, weeks before his death, Kirk said: “It’s all about Jesus.” Indeed, Kirk knew that the point about his political activism, his patriotism, his love for his family, was ultimately about the One who created him – none other than Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us all re-double our prayers for the repose of Kirk’s soul, and for the welfare of his bereaved family.
“ My reaction was a silent cry of horror, indignation, and sorrow. All true believers in the Church—both faithful and clergy—who still uphold the validity of God’s commandments and take Him seriously, should experience this provocation as a brazen slap in the face. I believe that many faithful Catholics and members of the clergy remain stunned by such a massive blow and require time to recover. An unprecedented act has taken place in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, one that may fittingly be described, in the words of Our Lord, as an ‘abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.’” – Bishop Athanasius Schneider
The clergy and lay people featured in “Bread Not Stones” remind viewers that the Church’s traditions, including the TLM, are not merely relics of a past long gone, but relevant gems that greatly enhance one’s Catholic Faith and identity. Arguably, it can be said that this film is calling for a Church that truly listens and addresses the spiritual needs of Her children, with pastoral prudence and compassion.
