Michael J. Matt's Interview of Raymond Cardinal Burke
In this wide-ranging interview, learn what Cardinal Burke thinks of the liturgical reforms of Vatican II, the 'Church of Accompaniment,' the ‘Spirit of Vatican II.' Will he lose his red hat? What is his advice for faithful Catholics scandalized by it all? What’s a “formal correction” of a pope look like? This and so much more about the history-making dubia of the Four Cardinals.

From The Archives: Christmas at the Front: December 23, 1943
In our continued quest for gold buried away in the archives of The Remnant and The Wanderer, this one appeared in The Wanderer when Remnant founder, Walter L. Matt, was oversees fighting in the European theater of World War II. Very moving! For example: A stalwart, somewhere in the far Pacific, wrote his sweetheart a request: “I’ll receive Communion at midnight Mass for you. Please do the same for me. It will make me feel so close to home.”

Father Celatus: The Last Word… Unleashing Evil: Mission Accomplished, Modernists!
Whatever happened to those imprecatory psalms?

Mission accomplished, Modernists!
