During the 17^th Century post-Reformation persecution in England and Ireland, the so-called Penal Laws were imposed against Catholics to prevent them from practicing the Roman Catholic religion. 

The various acts of the Penal Law prescribed fines, imprisonment, and severe penalties – including execution – for Catholic priests who offered the Latin Mass and Catholic faithful who participated in it. 

“O God, Who by sin art offended and by penance appeased, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy suppliant people: and turn aside the scourges of Thine anger, which we deserve for our sins.” (Thursday after Ash Wednesday, Collect)

“May our fasts be acceptable to Thee, O Lord, we beseech Thee: and by expiating our sins, may they render us worthy of Thy grace, and lead us to eternal Remedies.” (Tuesday in Passion Week, Collect)

In this episode of The Remnant Underground, Michael J. Matt thanks Bishop Thomas Paprocki for defending Latin Mass Catholics and for calling out heretical cardinals near and dear to the heart of Pope Francis. 

Plus, what's with this bizarre fascination with the Latin Mass on the part of all the bad guys? Why does the FBI care about the Latin Mass? Why is Big Brother Francis obsessed with canceling it? Obviously, we’re dealing with something more than mere human pettiness.

Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Some clarifications to restore the truth about the situation of the Monastery “Maria Tempio dello Spirito Santo” of Pienza:

Part One

The sequence of events

After the disclosure of conflicting and contradictory news relating to the recent events that have involved the cloistered community of the Benedictine Monastery of Pienza, I consider it my duty as a Pastor to intervene to re-establish the truth of the facts, as they are verifiable to those who are not prejudiced and care both about the fate of these religious women as well as highlighting the attitude of open hostility towards them on the part of ecclesiastical Authority. This first contribution of mine comes from my direct and personal knowledge of the Abbess and the Nuns, on whose behalf I intend to speak. In this first part I will analyze the sequence of events. A second essay will consider the content of the Holy See’s measures, framing them in the broader context of Bergoglio’s demolishing action. A third essay will propose some initiatives to be undertaken.

In this episode of The Remnant Underground, Michael J. Matt takes a quick trip back to Iraq, with the insufferable Lindsey Graham as tour guide. Twenty years later, what did our country gain from Mr. Graham’s war? More to the point, what did Iraq gain other than a million dead and a totally destabilized homeland?

Then it was Afghanistan that we had to liberate, then Syria, and now…Ukraine. And old Lucky Lindsey has been beating the war drum for all these wars.  Now he says Biden needs to send the F16s and declare Russia a state sponsor of terrorism.

In this RTV Spotlight, Michael Matt discusses the truly unprecedented papal endorsement of sodomidical unions. Although Pope Francis says not one word about the act of sodomy, he is now calling for states to legalize same-sex unions, by which homosexual couples can establish themselves as a "family". He even encourages homosexual couples to bring their adopted children to church, as he brags about how he meets with them publicly inside the Vatican.

In recent days, we have seen a few indications that more bishops are opposing Francis’s attacks on the Catholic Church. In her report on the prospect of further restrictions on the Tridentine Mass, Diane Montagna noted that members of the Roman Curia are resisting additional persecution of Traditional Catholics:

“[T]here is considerable resistance from members of the Roman Curia, who believe Pope Francis’ promulgation of either apostolic constitution would send the Church into uncharted waters, further wound Christ’s Mystical Body, and be seen (by Catholics and non-Catholics alike) as a cruel and divisive act.”

Editor’s Note: What follows could double as a form letter for those priests who will be forced to disobey an unjust order in the very near future. They will be ordered to stop offering the Traditional Latin Mass, and many of them will disobey. But this need not be an act of defiance against their bishops. The villain here is Pope Francis. He is the one who has issued orders that put the bishops in a difficult spot. And neither should this disobedience be seen as permanent. The situation under Francis is completely unsustainable, and, in God’s good time, the Latin Mass will be restored, just as it was after the 1970s when the Latin Mass was “abrogated,” “outlawed,” and “never coming back.” No force on earth can destroy the Latin Mass, not even a Jesuit bulldozer like Francis. Please share this letter with your priests so that together we can all prepare for the inevitable. And, remember, this has all happened before. God is in charge. MJM

In this episode of The Remnant Underground, Michael J. Matt takes on YouTube, Facebook, and the superstar of Big Tech – Pope Francis.

RTV was banned from posting on YouTube this week for allowing pro-life warrior, Abby Johnson, to explain how Big Abortion exploits women and contributes to human trafficking.

This, according to YouTube, “violates our medical misinformation standards.”  Well, of course it does!

The irony is this: Francis just got his very own YouTube Original documentary, all about – you guessed it! – him!

Remnant Editor’s Introductory Note
Over the course of the last few years, it has become abundantly obvious that the powers that be – in both the Church and the State – have  essentially lost control of their own ambition to tear down the institutions that came before. That ambition inside the human element of the Catholic Church today is not limited merely to the cancelation of the Traditional Mass and Sacraments. In the future, any Catholic who adheres to the Church’s infallibly defined teachings on sex, marriage, life, and salvation outside the Catholic Church can expect to be condemned as a “rigorist” who has no place inside of the Church of Accompaniment. So, for example, there is a great deal of talk just now about the suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass. But let us not forget that Pope Francis’s liturgical crackdown was first leveled against the Novus Ordo itself. Team Francis banned all private Masses at the heart of Christendom, inside the Basilica of St. Peter, long before they’d decided to take steps to cancel the Latin Mass worldwide. And now with the alliance between the Vatican and the Great Reset cabal – with their fanatical pursuit of Agenda 2030 – it is not just traditional Catholics that need to be looking over their shoulder. Any bishop who defends the Church’s Bible-based moral theology against “gay marriage” or gender ideology in the future will not find a safe haven inside the Vatican when the new Gestapo comes calling. The late Francis Cardinal George hinted at this when he predicted “my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square.” Indeed. The witch hunt now is focused on Traditional Catholics, but it won’t be long before the battle cry on the lips of every faithful Catholic will be: “We are all Traditionalists now!”  For this reason, I am not surprised that His Excellency Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester has made a pastoral effort to stand with Traditional Catholics in his diocese by offering them a beautiful place to offer Mass, despite the draconian lockdown measures laid out in Traditionis Custodes. Disagreements notwithstanding, Bishop Barron is a man of faith who seems to understand the dystopian nightmare into which Christophobic secularism always leads. Rather than an attack on His Excellency, the following article is meant to be a sincere effort to reach out to him and to encourage him to see the entire trajectory of this Revolution – a trajectory firmly rooted in the so-called Spirit of Vatican II. It all starts there, and we cannot understand what is happening to the Church today if we refuse to acknowledge what happened to her in 1965. MJM
