The Vatican’s pro-life academy now features a pro-choice economist tied to the UN’s 2030 Agenda. Abortion, climate policy, immigration, and healthcare—now all “pro-life”? This article looks inside the Vatican’s moral reset under Francis and Leo XIV.
Joseph Shaw’s recent public statements denouncing the SSPX in the wake of the priestly fraternity’s recent announcement to consecrate new bishops is, at best, pastorally myopic and, at worst, detrimental to the already fragile unity among Catholics in favor of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM).
St. Paul corrected St. Peter. Thomas Aquinas explained why God put their confrontation in the Bible. What does this mean for today’s crisis between Rome and the SSPX?
Did Cardinal Ratzinger quietly admit Archbishop Lefebvre was right? His 1988 conference—just days after the consecrations—may be one of the most important explanations of today’s Church crisis.
Why would the SSPX consecrate bishops without Rome’s approval? In a powerful sermon from Ecône, Fr. Bernard de Lacoste explains why extraordinary measures are now necessary to preserve the Catholic Faith.
Is consecrating new SSPX bishops justified—and did Rome quietly admit Lefebvre was never excommunicated? Michael revisits the “Hawaii Six” case, the “state of emergency,” and reveals stunning news from Europe that could change everything for Tradition.
As you know, one of the foundations of the Synodal Church is an inclusivity that embraces all Christians. But if the Synodal Church accepts all Christians, how can it also decide to cast off the SSPX if it consecrates bishops to continue its work?
The reaction of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, visible in his decisions and actions, was the result of a profound understanding of the devastating consequences of ecumenism and relativistic interreligious dialogue. Having carried out for many years a fruitful apostolic mission in Africa, he perceived with prophetic clarity that promoting ecumenism at the level of the formation of bishops and priests would amplify the deep modern crisis of the Christian faith. This is why the consecration of well-formed bishops was and remains a crucial point in the missionary and pastoral activity of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X. The Time Has Come for the Hierarchs of the Church to Speak.
The SSPX’s announcement of new bishop ordinations has put Rome on alert. But this moment is not merely a traditionalist dispute over canon law—it exposes a deeper crisis, raising fundamental questions about obedience, jurisdiction, and the limits of authority under Pope Leo XIV’s new and uncertain pontificate.
Paris, Chartres, Brittany and the Vendee. The Chartres Pilgrimage, fine dining, daily Latin Masses, guided tours, and historical presentations by Michael Matt and Fr. Pendergraft — this will be a spiritual adventure of a lifetime.
In his classic This Tremendous Lover from 1946, Dom Eugene Boylan emphasized the unbreakable connection between union with God and keeping His commandments: “When asked by the
As the SSPX prepares once again to consecrate bishops without a papal mandate, Michael looks back to 1988 and the decision of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre that shook the Catholic world and ignited the modern Traditional Catholic movement. Is there a state of emergency in the Church? Is the SSPX truly in schism? And why does the Spirit of Vatican II still shape this conflict forty years later? This episode of The Remnant Underground is a masterclass in Revolution and Counterrevolution. Was Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre a schismatic—or the man who saved Catholic Tradition?
Long before the Nazi camps, revolutionary France created a system designed to make priests die “without noise.” This is the suppressed history of the prison-ship martyrs of Île-Madame—and the faith that endured the Terror. Why were hundreds of priests made to die in silence during the French Revolution—and why was their story erased? This account of the prison-ship martyrs reveals a lineage of fidelity that echoes into the Church’s modern struggles.
Between now and the eventual consecration of bishops for the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), there will be various newsworthy developments, and even more
MAID accelerates a cultural shift that recasts killing as healthcare, pressures the vulnerable amid rising costs, and erodes human dignity by normalizing death as a medical option… all as America moves toward her 250th birthday.
Greenland decided to throw its Arctic weather at us in a stealthy snow attack, even the weather apps were bemused. As we prepare for the next existential crisis, maybe the real forecast is simpler: a chance of perspective with accumulating gratitude. Comfort is a blessing, not a birthright or an app you can download.
The current Superior of the FSSPX made it clear in his message that the decision is motivated, just as in the case of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, by “the objective state of grave necessity in which souls find themselves.” For those who, especially beginning with the pontificate of Benedict XVI, have deluded themselves into thinking that the state of the Church had changed, such a statement is a cold shower.
The controversies stirred by Graham Hancock’s Netflix documentary Ancient Apocalypse attract our attention not only through the criticism and accusations directed against it, but also through their revisionist undertones. Beyond this aspect, however, there exists a lesson in those cataclysmic histories recorded by the ancient world to which we must always return. And, no, humanity has not been created by extraterrestrials.

Today, Feb 2, the SSPX Superior General, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, announced plans to consecrate new bishops to ensure the furture of the SSPX, without express permission or denial given by Rome.
Plus, Michael looks at why so many illegal immigrants embarked on the desperate journey in the first place. Why are so many of their now-Socialist
You see it all too often. People throwing principles, nuance, and objective truths out the window in favor of just trying to defend “their side” or “their party.”
