Michael Davies (RIP)
Mr. Davies began to write for The Remnant in 1972, and continued to
do so until his death in October of 2004. The Remnant introduced
American Catholics to this prolific and gifted Catholic writer. In
addition to his regular Remnant column, Mr. Davies wrote dozens of
books and thousands of articles on the liturgical question and the
Church in history. His able journalism led most to regard him as the
foremost liturgical lay expert in the English-speaking world of his
day. Mr. Davies was also the president of the International Una Voce
Federation. Mr. Davies will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.

Walter L. Matt (RIP)
The son of German immigrants, Walter Matt came from a long line of
Catholic lay journalists. His grandfather launched the
German-language Wanderer, and his father, Joseph Matt, K.S.G.,
founded the English-language Wanderer -- the oldest Catholic weekly
newspaper in the United States today. Mr. Matt was an editor of The
Wanderer for some thirty years before he founded The Remnant, of
which he was the editor/publisher for some twenty-five more years.
Over his long, fifty-some years in the Catholic press apostolate, he
wrote countless studies on countless different topics, concerning
both the Catholic Church and the secular State. He was a veteran of
World War II and was still active in the fight to restore the
traditions of the Catholic Church until his death in 2002 at 87
years of age. Mr. Matt is generally regarded as one of the founders
of the traditional Catholic Movement in the United States. This rich
legacy of faith and fidelity is detailed further in
The Remnant Scrapbook.
