On August 24, Pavel Durov, CEO and co-founder of the Telegram messaging app, was arrested after he disembarked from his private jet at Le Bourget Airport outside of Paris, France.
Fr. Dominique Bourmaud went to his eternal reward on September 4, 2021, a month before Francis announced his intention to “create a different church” with the Synod on Synodality. Remarkably, though, Fr. Bourmaud was able to describe the essence of the Synodal Church in his 2003 book, One Hundred Years of Modernism:
This is a preview of the August 31st Remnant Newspaper. In his “Last Word” column, Fr. Celatus breaks down the Catholic principle of Double Effect, and how we can apply it to the upcoming election.

As we know, St. Pius X condemned the Modernists with his 1907 encyclical, Pascendi Dominici Gregis. In varying degrees, today’s ravening wolves are the philosophical and theological heirs of the Modernists, whom St. Pius X identified as enemies of the Church:
Let it be unequivocally stated: The liturgy is not a private playground for personal innovation. It is not a platform for the self-expression of the celebrant. It is a sacred trust, handed down by the Church, which must be celebrated according to the established norms and traditions.
One of the most fascinating and mysterious episodes recounted in the Gospels is the Savior Jesus Christ walking on water. Recorded by the apostles Matthew (14:24-34), Mark (6:45-54), and John (6:15-21), it is one of those miracles whose meanings elude us. This impression is especially due to a detail mentioned by the apostle Mark, who says in verse 48 that “he would have passed by them.” Why would our Lord walk on water only to pass by the ship shaken by the agitated waves? Reflecting on this detail, I realized that we are dealing here with a lesson of divine wisdom. Before attempting to decipher it, we will first examine the common elements of the three accounts.
Modern histories of Australia hold a distinctly protestant view of the continent’s colonization: that our land was first discovered by Dutch explorers in the early 17th century and then eventually settled by anti-Catholic British in 1770. The vast new terrain, rich in arable land and natural resources, was first earmarked as a penal settlement to take the pressure off Britain’s overcrowded jails. This led to the realization that the thousands of convicts would make a convenient workforce and so a prosperous colony quickly sprang up, bringing with it the Anglican culture of the British. Little did these first settlers realize, however, that the great Terra Australis had been claimed in the name of the Catholic Church almost two hundred years earlier.

An excerpt from the pages of CREDO, Compendium of the Catholic Faith:
From the very first lines of Hugo Klapproth’s volume, Letters to a Protestant Friend, [i] I knew I was reading a book written by a gentleman. Indeed, a Catholic gentleman. For me, this means a great deal in our dark times, where even the most basic rules of conduct and elegant manners have been forgotten. This is why reading such a book is, above all else, a display of elegance and delicacy, something quite rare in our days.
Many Catholics today no longer understand that we must properly form our consciences, so it is worthwhile to review what the Church has always taught on the topic. As with so many other questions, the three volume Radio Replies series — which presents the answers to thousands of questions addressed by Fr. Leslie Rumble and Fr. Charles Carty on their 1930s radio program — provides solidly a Catholic answer to the question of whether a person’s conscience is supposed to be infallible:

“Because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold” ( Et quoniam abundavit iniquitas, refrigescet caritas multorum –– Matthew 24:12).
“Confessional states end badly,” the Pontiff said in an interview with Guillaume Goubert, director of French Roman Catholic newspaper La Croix. “ I believe that secularism accompanied by a strong law which guarantees religious freedom provides a framework for moving forward.”

In his 2018 article reflecting on the fiftieth anniversary of Paul VI’s encyclical on contraception, Humanae Vitae, the heretical Jesuit Fr. Thomas Reese wrote of the Catholic reception to the reaffirmation of Church teaching:

My Sad Pilgrimage to Akita, Japan
“Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying: Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said: Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death. But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee. And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition. Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying: This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men” ( Matthew 15:1-9).
With these considerations in mind, Catholics have a more compelling case to support Trump now than we did in 2016 or 2020. Of course we wish Trump would be more perfectly aligned with our interests, but his task at this moment is to try to win an election rather than try to be the ideal candidate for conservative Christians. Even so, he is arguably “more Catholic than the pope” and those who tell Catholics that we should not vote for him are either deluded or trying to manipulate us to serve Harris. Do we wish he would do more? Of course, which is reason to pray for him rather than oppose his efforts to save us from the most anti-Christian presidency in American history. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
