Bishop Bala was known for his wisdom and gentleness. He also upheld the teachings of the Church concerning same-sex attraction, especially with regard to the priests in his diocese. His body was found by fishermen in the Sanaga River, near Monatele, on June 2.  What was at first assumed to be suicide, is gradually coming to light as a brutal murder that reportedly may have been presided over by a coup of homosexual Catholic priests:

Investigators found signs of torture on his body.

Catholic bishops in Cameroon said this bishop, whose body was pulled from a river in early June, did not commit suicide, but was murdered:

“In view of the initial findings, we bishops of Cameroon affirm that Bishop Jean-Marie Benoit Bala did not commit suicide; he was brutally murdered. This is one more murder, and one too many,” the bishops said in a statement after meeting in a general assembly June 13. Read the full report HERE

According to an article at Cruxnow.com, Bishop Bala's murder was allegedly carried out by gay priests in retaliation for his holding the line on the Church's teaching on homosexuality:

In response, the current apostolic administrator of Bala’s diocese, Monsignor Joseph Akonga Essomba, delivered a blunt answer on Thursday during a homily at a memorial Mass: The bishop was killed, he said, because he stood up against homosexuals in the Church and the priesthood.

Pointing to the front rows of the Church where most government ministers and other important personalities sat, and casting a sweeping look at fellow priests and bishops, Essomba charged:
“Shame to all those people in black suits and black spectacles always sitting in the front rows of the Church,” he said.

“Shame to all those priests who have come here, pretending to sympathize. These are the people who killed our bishop, because he said ‘no’ to the homosexuality perpetrated by those priests,” Akonga said.

New from RTV

The premier English-language Vatican journalist, Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register, offers a journalist’s objective evaluation of a climate of fear in Rome, the Synod on the Family, Amoris Laetitia, and the crisis in the Church during the reign of Pope Francis. 

All of the Catholic Identity Conference 2017 outstanding talks, including that of Bishop Athanasius Schneider, are available On-Demand from RemnantNewspaper.com  The organizers of the CIC felt that Mr. Pentin's most timely talk, however, should be released on YouTube immediately, and for obvious reasons.

For those of you fed up with the treatment of faithful clergy and laity who uphold the Catholic dogma and faith, it’s time to dialogue in the spirit of Pope Francis!

The latest sacking of the highly esteemed American theologian Fr. Thomas Weinandy, O.F.M., Cap. by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for his letter of correction to Pope Francis demands a response from the laity.

Read Fr. Weinandy’s powerful letter to the Pope here.

Read the weaselly, lightening-quick response from the USCCB here and here.

Despite the incessant papal dialogue drumbeat, there is no dialogue, only dismissals.

Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for Us!

Pope Peter on Jesus Christ: "I know not the man."

Clearly, the current crisis in the Church is now without precedent.  If history is hiding a more disastrous pontificate than that of Pope Francis, I’d be interested to learn which one. And as the battle for the soul of the human element of Christ’s Church rages on—a battle which, as Our Lady predicted it would, now has “cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops…churches and altars sacked… and [a Church] full of those who accept compromises”—there is a growing temptation to conclude that all is lost and it’s time to go off and “do our own thing”. But then, what? What happens to the Church if all her faithful sons and daughters abandon her? This is not an option for the faithful Catholic—the soldier of Christ—who must  stand up, step up, and fight on. When the Son of Man returns he must find faith, if only in a remnant.

Turns out the famous "Anti-hate" group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, exhibits many characteristics of an actual hate group... Raise your hand if you already called it!

Watch PragerU.com's Karl Zinsmeister break it down:

REMNANT COMMENT:  Radical liberals really are pretty sluggish folks. One dimensional as the day is long, they tend to be about as subtle as a space shuttle as they beat their dead horses into pulp. After a while, people get wise to their shtick.

This certainly applies to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which lately has started to take on all the gravitas of the funny papers. In fact, those who still take the SPLC seriously seem to hail from one of two camps: 1) Radical ideologues in the mainstream media, posing as objective journalists, and 2) folks who haven't cracked a non-fiction book since high school.  The rest of the world is laughing at this goofy guy who's the only one in the room who thinks his toupee is at all convincing.

I felt so embarrassed for the SPLC after watching the above video that I decided to go out and find an actual hater for the SPLC to use to scare the social security checks out of little old ladies. He's evidently living up in the mountains somewhere, cold and isolated. He's a loner, who by all accounts is downright extremist in his anti-socialism. He's also a racist who doesn't get along well with his neighbors.  Simply put, he's a big time hater:

Go get him, SPLC—and let’s be careful out there.
