The Remnant’s Person of the Year

Víctor Manuel Fernández (born 18 July 1962) is an Argentine prelate and a “Catholic” theologian of dubious orthodoxy. So, naturally, Francis appointed him to succeed the likes of Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani and Joseph Ratzinger as head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the former CDF, the former Holy Office.

In an era marked by systemic ignorance, fueled by fake news and the collapse of Catholic education worldwide, we believe that no single individual has done more to wake the intentionally dumbed down and sleeping masses than this Argentinian pal of Pope Francis. Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge of Catholic teaching can readily appreciate that His Eminence is quite simply not Catholic, unless one considers the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden to be Catholic, in which case good luck to you.

Over the years, Victor “Tucho” Fernández’s career has been marked by a penchant for the salacious on the good days and the downright pornographic on the bad, the latter having been nicely exemplified in his 1995 magnum opus on the spiritual meaning of kissing, titled, Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing.

Last week Francis told the world that priests can bless men and women in same-sex unions. This week he said he hopes Hell is empty. Well, of course it’s not, and for the pope to suggest it might be – when the world has turned away from fear of God almost entirely – is a dereliction of papal duty that surpasses any infraction of which Alexander VI ever dreamed.

Not to be outdone by his earlier descents into literary depravity, Fernández followed up with the 1998 Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality – a fun little page-turner that includes graphic descriptions of human sexual relations, including an imaginary erotic encounter with Jesus Christ on the shores of Galilee, based on a spiritual experience of a 16-year-old confidant of the author. (Gee, I wonder why there’s such a big problem with pedophilia amongst the post-conciliar clergy these days . . . Very weird!)

Anyway, when he’s not dabbling in pottyverse, our Person of the Year busies himself ghostwriting some of the more anti-Catholic works ever signed by a reigning pontiff – including Amoris Laetitia and Fiducia Supplicans. In general, His Eminence has gone out of his way to prove how completely he lacks any qualifications typically associated with the top watchdog of orthodoxy in the Catholic Church. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as a moral and theological nincompoop, which is why so many millions of Catholics regard his appointment to the DDF as the singular event that removed the blindfold preventing them from seeing Pope Francis for what he is – a total and unmitigated disaster! 

Of course, there are still the stubborn neo-Catholic holdouts – the so-called “popesplainers” – youngsters on YouTube who hang in there like the little troopers they are, defending every manner of raw sewage flowing out of the Tiber into the Rhine and all throughout the entire world. Most of them are young, tattooed, and utterly bereft of any sensus catholicus whatsoever. We don’t blame them for that, of course, since they too are victims of a post-conciliar dumbing down and Protestantized liturgy. Poor lads, they wouldn’t know the hypostatic union from a hypodermic needle. Still, for the sake of the benighted fools over whom they may still have some influence, I will close this first column of the New Year with a question for them, the popesplainers: What would Francis have to say or do that would constitute your bridge too far?

If the appointment of Victor Fernandez to the DDF wasn’t enough, what would be?

And next May, when he tells all the countries in the world to cede their sovereignty over to the WHO because that’s what the God of Surprises wants, you’ll be good with that, too?

Last week Francis told the world that priests can bless men and women in same-sex unions. This week he said he hopes Hell is empty. Well, of course it’s not, and for the pope to suggest it might be – when the world has turned away from fear of God almost entirely – is a dereliction of papal duty that surpasses any infraction of which Alexander VI ever dreamed. But no problem for you, right? Even though this comes from the pope who supposedly “consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary” at the request of Our Lady of Fatima . . . who showed the visionaries a vision of hell that was teeming with damned souls. And, yet Francis still hopes hell is empty?

So, if he comes out tomorrow and says he worships the Big Thumb, would that be okay, too? I mean, he’s not actually denying any dogma, right? He just thinks God is a Big Thumb in the sky . . . and, besides, this is his way of walking together with the Thumbites on the peripheries.

And next May, when he tells all the countries in the world to cede their sovereignty over to the WHO because that’s what the God of Surprises wants, you’ll be good with that, too? Essentially, your position is that Francis can say whatever he wants – can utter any heterodox nonsense that floats his boat – and you’re prepared to modify the corresponding dogma accordingly. So, in other words and to quote Colonel Jessup, you can’t handle the truth! Is that it?

Let’s hope the unfolding scandal that is The Remnant’s 2023 Person of the Year will help induce our Neo-Catholic friends to finally give it up and extract their sandy little heads. This is becoming quite ridiculous. And until next time, please continue to watch our weekly Remnant Underground on how we here at The Remnant intend to focus most of our editorial energies on exposing the Globalist coup d’eglise that’s going on inside the Vatican under the guidance of the very worst pope in the history of the Catholic Church.
