Dear Friends:

Among the many highlights of this new Print/E-edition of The Remnant--including Chorbishop Anthony Spinosa's blockbuster CIC2019 address, "Putting On The Armor of God"--we're pleased to present Theresa Moreau's "They Kept the Faith: The Yann Billot Story."

When Pope Francis’s Vatican “regularized” the schismatic ‘Catholic’ Church in China last month, Cardinal Joseph Zen—bishop emeritus of Hong Kong who spent his life resisting the totalitarian Communist regime in China—called the deal a “surrender” and “an incredible betrayal.” Cardinal Zen said of the Vatican’s Chinese initiative: “They’re giving the flock to the wolves.”

As part of The Remnant’s decades-long attempt to stand in solidarity with our persecuted brothers and sisters in the Catholic underground Church in China, we’re pleased to present yet another look back at the heroes who kept the Faith in China—and whose heroic stand Pope Francis has now betrayed. 

Here's what some of them looked like:

I hope you'll take a look at the rest of our new preview HERE. 

Vincent Chiarello's review of Father John O'Malley's book, by the way, "Trent: What Went on at the Council" is itself worth the price of admission. It's one of the most intriguing behind-the-scenes snapshots, if you will, of the great Council of Trent I've ever read. 

Lots of good stuff, rounded out by a most amusing The Last Word, wherein Father Celatus fantasizes about what he'd do if he were pope for a day.  Here's a pictorial hint:

God bless, and thanks for your continued support of The Remnant. 

In Christo Rege,
