Vatican Sex Abuse Summit in Rome (0)
RTV Covers Vatican Sex Abuse Summit in Rome
Remnant TV was in Rome this past week covering the Vatican’s clerical sexual abuse summit on the “protection of minors”. It seemed a dismal assignment, to be sure, but the reason it was necessary for The Remnant to be in the Eternal City was so we could throw in with our traditional Catholic allies in Rome who’d organized an act of formal resistance to the Vatican sham summit.
Going in, we all knew that the ultimate goal of the summit was to establish child abuse—not rampant homosexuality in the priesthood—as the main cause of a crisis in the Catholic Church which now rivals that of the Protestant Revolt. (Remnant TV coverage of this event as well as the Vatican summit itself, can be found on The Remnant’s YouTube channel, and for your convenience is laid out below:

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is elated over the victory, despite squawks from certain LGBT activists that the passage didn't include legislation permitting gay-adoption. It appears the gay-adoption clause was deliberately denied for the moment to quell conservative opposition and ensure that the bill got passed. Gay-rights activists no doubt will go to town now to get an amendment passed to permit gay-adoption as well, but the door has been swung open for them. Gay-unions are now recognized in Italy.
Historic Gay-Rights Bill Passes in Italy, Pope Francis Remains Silent
By: David Martin
I have had this piece in the back of my mind for some time, and have even run the title and general gist of it past a few people, all of whose eyes sparkled like the transporter beam of the Enterprise-A upon hearing it. I am pleased to publish it here, as my first, of hopefully many columns (depending on the litigation and settlement deal this piece generates) for The Remnant.
Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, I lived in a large, shared house built in the 1920s with a male friend. I had the master bedroom suite, and thus my own private bathroom, and everything was completely on the up-and-up. Fear not, gentle readers. I shall not be scandalizing you with tales of ribaldry – no “accompanying body-to-body” going on, to use one of FrancisChurch’s creepier turns of phrase. It was an excellent use of the property, and very frugal and affordable. And, yes, I certainly preferred to live with males, from both the security as well as a domestic tranquility standpoint.
Diabolical Narcissism: "Go Clean Up the Kitchen, You Stupid, Stupid Woman" Featured
Written by Ann Barnhardt
"In supporting his case, the pope made a historical reference to one of his predecessors and the rape of nuns in 1960s Belgian Congo that left some Catholic theologians and historians scratching their heads.
"Francis was speaking off the cuff, but he may have gotten his Catholic history wrong...
"Cardinal Giovanni Montini, the future Paul VI — who, in 1968, wrote Humanae Vitae, the papal document that articulates the modern Catholic position banning contraception in normal circumstances — actually visited the Congo in 1962. But he didn’t write or say anything then, or as pope, about the issue of nuns and contraception..." READ FULL STORY HERE
REMNANT COMMENT: As a matter of routine, Francis seems to just sort of make things up about Scripture as he goes along (e.g. the miracle of the loaves and fishes was merely that people were super, super generous with their food that day), so should it be particularly surprising that he might sort of make stuff up about history, too?
Francis, Contraception and the Myth of the Raped Nuns

Francis was asked Wednesday en route home from Mexico if abortion or birth control could be considered a "lesser evil," when confronting the Zika crisis in Brazil, where some babies have been born with abnormally small heads to Zika-infected mothers. READ REPORT HERE
REMNANT COMMENT: So the intrinsically evil is now the lesser of two evils? Is the pope actually suggesting that having a baby with birth defects is evil?
Hey, who are we to judge?
Now does it concern the neo-Catholics?! Jimmy? Voris? Karl? You guys good with this? Nothing to see here?
CALLING ALL NEO-CATHOLICS: Pope suggests contraception can be condoned in Zika crisis

On February 1, the Christendom College Republicans announced they had withdrawn from the College Republican National Committee (CRNC) and the College Republican Federation of Virginia (CRFV) after the CRFV voted overwhelmingly to add sexual orientation as a protected class to the chapter's constitution.

REMNANT COMMENT: Go Crusaders! And it's not just because I'm an alumnus, either. This school is doing a lot of things right. They accept no state aid, their faculty and student body are 100% Catholic, they’re proud to be Catholic first, and now this. Plus they're adding more TLMs, too. (Add one more on Sunday mornings and, overnight, you'll become the premier Catholic college in the world.)
Christendom represents the future of Catholic higher education. Move over, Notre Dame. A real Catholic school, committed to restoring all things in Christ, is about to blow by you like you're sitting up on jacks!
Christendom College Has the Right Catholic Stuff
By: Michael J. Matt | EditorI'm told that Super Dave Armstrong is attacking The Remnant over at Patheos. Having never read anything written by this man in the past, I see no point in starting now. As I see it, since nobody else reads Super Dave he surely won't mind if we dont' either.
I'd just like to say that, even though he's now attacking us with his random word generator, I still think Super Dave was pretty funny back in the day.
In fact, long live Super Dave! And don't go changin', Dave, to try to please us. We love you just the way you were.
Super Dave Armstrong Takes the Plunge, Attacks The Remnant

This just in from Catholic World Report: "Pope Francis’ visit to Mexico, which began on February 12, has been received with all of the fanfare expected for a papal visit from one of the most Catholic nations in the world. Just as Mexicans warmly welcomed John Paul II and Benedict XVI, so they are also giving a very enthusiastic reception to the current pontiff, who is making a point of focusing on the country’s suffering lower classes. However, in his rhetorical enthusiasm for the poor and downtrodden, the pope is taking a decidedly different tone from that of his predecessors, one that appears to show sympathy for the region’s controversial tradition of liberation theology, as well as other ideologically-charged political causes....
Catholic World Report Nails It: What is Pope Francis Doing? Featured
By: Michael J. Matt | Editor
On the very day he took possession of the Chair of Peter, Pope Benedict XVI declared his intention to subsume his personal ideas and predilections to the office of the Vicar of Christ:
The Pope is not an absolute monarch whose thoughts and desires are law. On the contrary: the Pope's ministry is a guarantee of obedience to Christ and to his Word. He must not proclaim his own ideas, but rather constantly bind himself and the Church to obedience to God's Word, in the face of every attempt to adapt it or water it down, and every form of opportunism….
“It’s very entertaining to be Pope!” On the Apotheosis of Jorge Mario Bergoglio
By: Christopher A. Ferrara
This from David Limbaugh: "Much of the establishment’s criticism of Donald Trump comes from its failure to comprehend the reasons for his soaring popularity.
"Establishment types seem untroubled by the problems facing America, so they can’t understand the urgency that fathered Trump’s rise. Minor adjustments to the Hindenburg’s dining room menu just aren’t going to cut it.
"Their overwrought analysis, their hand-wringing and their contemptuousness for Trump betray a disdain not only for Trump but for Americans who recognize the gravity of America’s predicament – and who, in desperation, have turned to Trump for bold action.
"It’s hard to overstate Americans’ concern for the state of the nation. Horrified by President Obama’s Sherman-esque march through America, they are tired of hearing that nothing can be done. They are through with empty promises from establishment politicians." READ MORE HERE
REMNANT COMMENT: If nothing else, Donald Trump's growing popularity is proof positive that political correctness can be overcome by those who have the guts (and/or the money) to stand up to it. Last night on Hannity, Trump went out of his way to embrace mainstream America, vowing to protect gun rights, abolish Obamacare, deep-six Common Core as his first acts in office, after building his wall on our southern border, of course, and stopping Muslim immigration altogether.
Will he come through on any of those promises? Who knows! But he's having so much fun rattling the cage of the politically correct, mainstream elites in both parties that even long-time holdouts such as Patrick J. Buchanan are egging him on now.
Again, not an endorsement. But Trump's success should at least encourage us to stop being straightjacketed by the PC Gestapo. Those guys are terrified of Trump. Why? Because he can't be bought and he can’t be silenced. And whether that terror is justified or not, the takeaway for the rest of us is to wake up, man up and start fighting back, telling them exactly where they can all get off.
This entire militantly secularist, atheist revolution in politics depends on their ability to silence opposition, to make us go mute out of fear of their raw power. But if we overcome that fear, they lose. And this is why the establishment hates this billionaire entertainer/businessman--he's encouraging the regular folks to stand up and say: "We're just not gonna take it anymore!"
Trump may well be a nutter, but what he's tapping into is anything but nuts. This is going to be fun to watch!
This from CNSNews.com Although the Catholic Church teaches that homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered,” constitute “grave depravity,” and can never “be approved,” the Catholic bishops of New York State “have not taken a position” on past bills and “do not foresee taking a position” on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new order banning private and public health insurers from covering gay conversion therapy for minors.
Cuomo, a Catholic who supports homosexual marriage and abortion, made his announcement about prohibiting health care coverage for conversion (or reparative) therapy on Saturday, Feb. 6. READ MORE HERE
REMNANT COMMENT: So far this has been the reaction of the brave bishops of New York State:
Cowards such as these clearly do not possess the stuff of which martyrs are made. They’re so busy eliminating hills on which they will not die, that before long they’ll be lying in a barren desert somewhere, dying comfortably in their beds, having never taken a serious stand on anything that matters.
St. John Fisher must be rolling over in his grave.
!["[T]he faithful would conclude that ‘the Pope has changed the Rosary, and the psychological effect would be disastrous. Any change in it cannot but lessen the confidence of the simple and the poor."…Pope Paul VI](/web/media/k2/items/cache/97f3fbfdc521207fc3f9ebd819954fc0_XS.jpg)
