“It is not to be excluded that I will enter history as the one who split the Catholic Church... I am not afraid of schisms ...” -Jorge Mario Bergoglio

As expected, and just in time for Christmas, Msgr. Roche, the Latin Mass-hating Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments (CDW) has issued, on the authority the Latin Mass-hating Pope, a “clarification” of “Traditiones custodes” (TC) in the form of answers to eleven questions (dubia).

A Schismatic Pope?

By:

Remnant Editor's Introduction

It is indeed reassuring to know that Francis will—in fact and on occasion—answer certain dubia raised by his bishops, even if we’re still waiting for an answer to those raised by Raymond Cardinal Burke et al some years ago regarding Amoris Laetitia and the pope’s decision to authorize unrepentant public adulterers to receive the Sacraments.

These days the pope's got more important things to think about, which is evidently why he swiftly answered the dubia of bishops wanting clarity on when and just how fast the Church of Accompaniment is to abandon millions of Traditional Catholics around the world who adhere to the Traditional Mass and Sacraments.

For good reason, faithful Catholics have condemned Francis’s Traditionis Custodes for its unfair and dishonest attack on the Tridentine Mass and the Catholics who love it. There is no legitimate way to interpret the July 16, 2021 motu proprio in a favorable light, and those who try to do so generally expose themselves as enemies of the Catholic Church. Nonetheless, we know that God can bring good out of evil, and He has permitted Tradtionis Custodes for the benefit of those who love Him and seek to be saints (Romans 8:28).

Bring it on, modernists.

According to a recent article from Rorate Caeli, the Congregation for Divine Worship is preparing instructions to further implement Traditionis Custodes, with the goal of releasing them next week. The author of the article says that “The instruction will try (among other things) to impose over the global Church, by violent and illegitimate will of the legislator, the blueprint established for the Diocese of Rome by its Cardinal Vicar months ago regarding all Sacraments other than the Holy Eucharist.” Rome’s protocol forbids the celebration of all the 1962 sacramental rites other than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and even the Mass is tampered with and gravely restricted. It appears that the Holy Father wasn’t pleased that few people followed his motu proprio.

As we approach the anniversary of Our Blessed Lord’s Nativity this year, I am sure many readers have recently found themselves taking up one side of the age-old argument over whether or not it is appropriate to listen to Christmas music outside of the Christmas season. Taken on its own, I think that whether one answers aye or nay to this question is of little consequence (I for one may be found listening to Morten Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium at any time of the year), but I do think that often, this argument is related to a question of much greater importance: How appropriate is it to begin celebrating Christmas, before Christmas? That is, during the season of Advent?

In the first talk of the 2020 Catholic Identity Conference this October, Fr. John Eckert referred to what he dubbed the inversion of Christmas: the common practice in the modern West of beginning “the Holiday Season” sometime during late November-early December (where I live in America at least, I start to see Christmas decorations even before Thanksgiving) and practically ending it when the clock strikes midnight on December 26th. 

New from Remnant TV...

From The Remnant Underground, Michael J. Matt examines some recent developments that the Lunatics of Davos don’t want us to notice:

  • Even the head of the United Nations is losing patience with President Bidenauci.
  • Joe Biden is autodestructing faster than his handlers anticipated.
  • Successful legal challenges to the Biden Mandate do not bode well for the Reset.
  • Elon Musk is openly challenging Agenda 2030’s core issue: Overpopulation.
  • Nazi Australia is becoming the best example of what not to do if you want a Great Reset.
  • Francis the Globalist – the most unpopular pope in history – is actually hurting the cause of Globalism.
  • Vaccine hesitancy in America is a big problem, but who is responsible for it? (HINT: It’s not Donald Trump!)

Returning to the discussion of reclaiming our Catholic Holy Days. In our last issue, we covered the Advent Season which has substantially disappeared since Vatican II, at least in how it is observed. Many Catholics today “deck their halls” well before Thanksgiving, which gives us some indication of how much has been lost. Can you imagine Muslims celebrating Ramadan a month early? It’s unthinkable, but only because most Muslims take their faith seriously.

These solemn words, with which the Holy Scriptures speak of the divine Wisdom, are attributed by the liturgy to the Most Holy Virgin (it is the Immaculate Conception who speaks):

“From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him. And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem. And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints.” (Ecclesiastes 24:14-15)

As Catholics, we know that the Blessed Virgin Mary is full of grace. We profess this belief every time we say the Hail Mary. In today’s gospel and offertory, we read of St. Gabriel saying unto Mary “Hail, (Mary), full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women,” (Luke 1:28, Douay-Rheims). The dogma of the Immaculate Conception, which we celebrate today, says that Mary “not only never lent an ear to the serpent, but by divinely-given power she utterly destroyed the force and dominion of the evil one.”

Mary, Full of Grace

By:

A Pew Research Center survey of 6,485 U.S. adults from September 20-26, 2021 (Few Americans Blame God or Say Faith Has Been Shaken Amid Pandemic, Other Tragedies) yielded further evidence that the fruits of Vatican II’s ecumenical experiment have been putrid. The headline findings from the survey included the following:

  • Catholics twice as likely as Protestants to say people who don’t believe in God can go to heaven
  • Most Catholics, but not most Protestants, say some non-Christian religions can lead to eternal life

Details of the survey indicate that only 16% of Catholics surveyed (compared with 31% of all Christians) replied that “my religion is the one true faith leading to eternal life in heaven.” In addition, 72% of Catholics responded that “many religions can lead to eternal life,” and 61% of Catholics responded that “some non-Christian religions also can go to heaven.” Presumably an even higher percentage of Catholics would have responded that non-Catholic religions can lead to heaven were it not for the fact that 10% of so-called Catholics responded that they did not believe in heaven.

Indeed, if Francis’s version of Catholicism is right, how can we avoid the conclusion that the efforts of St. Edmund Campion were misguided at best and very likely wicked?
