On one side, the Bergoglian apparatus continues to advance its progressive agenda; on the other, a reflective Pontiff, committed to preserving the cohesion of the Church. In the background, an elitist and politicized Vatican media system looms, threatening to influence the faithful and public opinion through prepackaged narratives.
We are delighted by stories of saints and miracles. In particular, the levitation of saints always draws attention (sometimes even that of nonbelievers). This fascination has left behind not only extraordinary histories, but even films produced in Hollywood. I am convinced that everyone who has seen The Reluctant Saint (1962) was delighted by the life of Saint Joseph of Cupertino, O.F.M. Conv. (1603–1663). Still, the question remains: beyond the miraculous aspect of levitation, what is the meaning of such an extraordinary fact?
I have emphasized in many articles published in recent years the crucial importance of sacred symbols. In this regard, I can state that, in the context of liturgical and sacramental theology, there is no concept more important than that of the “symbol” (Gr. σύμβολον).
September 8 is the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this Sunday Sermon from South Saint Paul, Father explains who our greatest advocate in the world today actually is and why.
The TLM returns to St. Peter’s Basilica! Cardinal Raymond Burke will celebrate the Holy Mass in the Traditional Roman Rite, on the Altar of the Chair, at 3:00 p.m. on October 25, 2025.
In this episode of The Remnant Underground, Michael J. Matt covers the abomination of desolation in the holy place, as 1300 proud gay and lesbian “Catholics” are welcomed into the Basilica of St. Peter for a Jubilee Year celebration of diversity, equity, and inclusion. But what does it mean? Is Pope Leo onboard, or are we looking at yet another pope who will flee for fear of the wolves…
The LGBT group La Tenda di Gionata made their entrance into St. Peter’s Basilica today, along with several other pilgrimage groups who were on the Jubilee Year calendar. But La Tenda… claws out and F*ck the Rules (see the backpack in the images)… this is the New Church. Behold the legacy of Pope Francis. Thank you, Fr. Jimmy Martin, for making sure this abomination of desolation in the Holy Place still took place despite the “untimely” demise of your greatest papal ally. More coverage and commentary in this weekend’s Underground video.
Throughout Dachau’s hellish existence, the one and only refuge for some 2,500 priests and many more Catholic laymen imprisoned there was their Catholic Faith. In this most vile, desperate and foreboding place, what Holy Catholic Mass had the power to unite these fractured men who hailed from nearly a dozen different European nations; each with its own language? It was the only Mass of its day – it was the Mass of the Ages; the Traditional Latin Mass.
NIL has upended college football. As athletes secure multimillion-dollar deals before ever taking the field, the sport’s traditional business model has collapsed, leaving behind a fast-moving, unsustainable system that resembles professional free agency more than amateur competition.
In light of Pope Leo XIV’s recent audience with Fr. James Martin, who was in Rome for the LGBTQ Jubilee pilgrimage, many serious Catholics have understandably expressed concerns with the new pope. To better understand how this could possibly happen just twelve years after Benedict XVI announced (in his farewell address ) that the true Second Vatican Council, “with all its spiritual force,” was finally emerging, we sat down with the documents of the Council for an interview. It is evident that those who take issue with Leo XIV may not be paying much attention to what these documents have been saying for the past sixty years!
Given St. Pius X’s documented response to Modernism, he likely would have reacted with the same doctrinal clarity and pastoral firmness to the ideologies spread by the LGBTQ+ cult, including “Catholic” Fr. James Martin. For one, St. Pius X unequivocally singled homosexuality out as one of the “sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance,” likening it with voluntary homicide, oppression of the poor, as well as defrauding a laborer of his just wage.
For that cosmic jewel described in the final chapters of the Revelation of Saint John, there is simply no possible comparison. Even if we witnessed the most stunning sunrises and sunsets in the most exotic locations imaginable, none of these could compare to Paradise. St. Don Bosco experienced multiple prophetic dreams. One of them, occurring in 1847 and repeated in 1848 and 1856, allowed him to glimpse both the Paradise reserved for the elect.
Editor’s Note: I am grateful to Mrs. Laura Riccardi for the following testimony on the passing of her beloved husband, Len, who was a casualty not of Covid itself, but of the reckless and mandatory Covid protocol. Because of this protocol, not a few lives were violently changed forever as many never got to move on from Covid.
What took place in Minneapolis on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, is not merely another attack among many. It is the most explicit and coherent manifestation of the Revolution’s hatred against Christ and His faithful: a young transgender individual—alleged Catholic—murdering children during the Eucharistic Sacrifice. It is urgent to initiate the process of canonization for the two little martyrs.
The August 27th massacre at the Aunnunciation Church in MInneapolis, MN, is only the latest in a string of anti-Catholic violence. Last year, 383 churches endured 415 attacks across 43 states. There were 284 acts of vandalism, 55 incidents of arson, 28 gun-related attacks, 14 bomb threats, and 47 incidents, of assault, disruption of services, and terroristic threats.
Just as photos of the child victims in Minneapolis were going viral, Father Jimmy Martin took to social media to brag about meeting with the pope who, according to Martin, will continue the pro-LGBTQ agenda of Pope Francis. Really, Father Jimmy? You think this is a good time to take a little swim in Lake Me? God help us, man, what is wrong with you!?
Following the upcoming court verdict on whether Lai would eventually be found guilty and convicted for going against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and campaigning for civil rights and democracy in Hong Kong, the world would soon learn the extent to which Hong Kong is under the repressive yoke of the CCP and whether Lai would taste freedom again.
If we think seriously about what it means for the Catholic Church, which is the Mystical Body of Christ, to suffer a crisis of internal infidelities rather than external attacks, we can conclude that we are facing something almost unparalleled in salvation history. If we can measure the magnitude of the fall by the spiritual dignity of the ones falling and the degree of the harms caused, the post-Vatican II crisis is arguably worse than any in history except those caused by the fall of the angels and the sin of Adam and Eve.
The existence of the Synodal Church is an entirely sufficient demonstration that there is a grave crisis in the Church. And it is not merely the existence of the Synodal Church that signals the grave state of necessity — one could say that an even more alarming sign is that only a small minority of shepherds have been willing to speak out against the wicked Synodal Church.
A young Catholic man slaughters Catholic children in a Catholic school during a Catholic Mass … What in the hell has gone wrong in the Catholic Church?
The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least seventeen others at Annunciation Catholic school here in Minneapolis today has been identified as a transgender man who had recently changed his name from Robert Westman to Robin Westman.
The proliferation of the so-called “Natural Family Planning Methods” has not prevented the current demographic collapse within the Church. Even if we view with skepticism the surveys that tell us that today approximately 90% of Catholics use contraceptive methods, it is certain that the vast majority of them have far fewer children than their ancestors (or none at all). I do not believe there are many other subjects that deserve more attention than this one.
Only God knows what would happen in the next 25 years or so (up to the next Jubilee year in 2050). Will the SSPX and Rome officially “reconcile”? Will the Papacy fully and unabashedly defend Catholic dogma and safeguard the Traditional Latin Mass? It remains a mystery to us for now.
A downsizing of the green magisterium, free from eco-idolatry, and the centrality of Christ in preaching. Mercy is a gift of grace, but not without conditions. Many small signs that give good hope. Meanwhile, Pope Leo receives Cardinal Burke. On the table, also the future of the Mass of Catholic Tradition?
