In this week’s Underground, Michael J. Matt looks at the resurrection of the Prince of Darkness in 2025. After a half century of holy war, why did the Catholic Church surrender to the gods of wasteland?

For Christians, Hell and Paradise are neither subjects of speculation nor historical-academic studies: they are among the most important articles of faith, referring to the “unseen world” where we will live eternally. It is no coincidence that the poetic masterpiece of the Christian world, The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri (c.1265–1321), is entirely dedicated to the afterlife.

On July 31st, Vatican News reported that St. John Henry Newman will become the newest Doctor of the Church. Why would the current hierarchy go for this? Well, it seems for them that the true appeal of Newman appears to reside in the way in which his works can be manipulatively interpreted in support of the Synodal Church. Let’s rescue Newman from their agendas!

From mainstream talk shows to voices across social media and in viral documentaries—and frankly, the entire world with the exception of Israel and half the Republican Party in the USA—the situation in Gaza is recognized as a genocidal holocaust (called so by Jews themselves), with roots that run much deeper than October 7, 2023.

Why do weirdos, leftist activists, and useful idiots of minimal real influence always top the list of invited guests at those odd Vatican conferences nobody cares about?

“If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head” (Romans 12: 20). What exactly are these “coals of fire”?
To those criticizing The Remnant for publishing a report from our Italian correspondent – alleging that so-called “progressives” inside Vatican are again attempting to use fake news to create a pope in their own image and likeness – I would remind you that the Vatican has been caught attempting precisely this kind of fake news plenty of times in the past, most recently by Diane Montagna over the lies that were used to justify Traditionis Custodes.

There is a strong unease among the accelerationist revolutionaries who still wander the Roman palaces: they are determined to prove at all costs that Leo XIV is fully continuing the agenda initiated by Francis. Spadaro, in particular, is aligned with those hardline Bergoglians who, during the last conclave, persisted to the very end in order to prevent Prevost from ascending to the See of Peter.

As grateful as we may be to Leo XIV for this pious exhortation, we are left to wonder what the new pontiff intends to do to address one of the most wicked cruelties in the world today: the Vatican’s continued attacks on the unadulterated Catholic Faith and its persecution of those souls who want nothing more than to practice our religion as faithfully as possible.

The anniversary came and went just like the war itself: Forgotten. In case you missed it too, June 25th marked the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War – the first hot front of the Cold War.

New RTV… The Hidden Christians This is the talk Michael Matt gave to the “clans of Japan” at the International Mission Symposium in Tokyo this past week. It covers the small “r” remnant today and throughout history, including the “Hidden Christians”—the Japanese Catholics who kept the Faith for 250 years without any priests or sacraments…
The Jewish people transmitted everything that pertains to theology and mysticism. The Greeks, on the other hand, excelled in metaphysical speculation and the contemplative drive suited for meditation and the “methods” that enable the purification of the intellect. Finally, the Latins represent the civilization with the longest lifespan in history. The Holy Roman Empire, whose last representative—Blessed Emperor Charles I of Austria (1887–1922)—reigned until the end of World War I, stands as proof of this incredible history that spanned nearly three millennia.
Video circulating online showing hundreds of Moslem men surrounding St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne has alarmed many Christians. What appeared to be a clear case of intimidation based on the ages-old animosity between Moslems and Christians was, in fact, not the primary purpose of the gathering, and the painting of the incident in this way has angered both Moslems and sympathetic Christians alike.
Africans were not the only ones who resisted the highly controversial 2023 Vatican declaration “ Fiducia Supplicans ”, a document that permits Catholic priests to give blessings to couples in “irregular situations,” including same-sex couples, without explicitly declaring church approval of their union.
