It is once more thanks to the untiring Guiseppe Nardi, author of the German traditional website Katholisches.info, that we learn of the confidant statement recently made by the Brazilian Cardinal Cláudio Hummes – who is a close friend of Pope Francis – concerning the Dubia of the Four Cardinals. Cardinal Hummes is also the prominent…
Via The Remnant, I’ve learned that John Vennari (editor of Catholic Family News) went into surgery this morning for a gastric obstruction related to cancer, which he was diagnosed with earlier this year. I do not have an update. This is what John posted yesterday on his Facebook page: JOHN VENNARI SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY SATURDAY…
On 4 November, 2016 – the day of the opening ceremony of the new seminary of the Society of St. Pius X in Dillwyn, Virginia – three little children were blessed to be confirmed by His Excellency Bishop Bernard Fellay. Everything surrounding this little ceremony – with some twenty priests, seminarians and different family members…
The cold weather has finally arrived. As I write, I am looking out the window and it is not quite dark but there is the sense of an absence of light. The hammering winds of late November seem to tunnel deeply through the walls of our home. The penetrating wind hisses and howls, and at…
Today, we’re thankful for you! As an alternative Catholic media outlet, this year has been absolutely breathtaking. So many developments. So much to cover.

It is reproduced here in its entirety: “We cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth” (2 Cor. 13: 8) A Prophetic Voice of Four Cardinals of the…
The last week has produced an outpouring of reflections on the state of the nation. For many, the election of Donald Trump was unimaginable, and many in the country’s governing classes are now forced to confront the true nature of the divisions within American society. The triumph of Trump made it impossible to deny the…
The number of attacks on the four cardinals for their presentation of dubia on Amoris Laetitia are mounting rapidly. Two out of three of the new American Cardinals — Joseph Tobin of Newark and Cardinal Cupich of Chicago — spoke out just yesterday against the four cardinals. Tobin, described the dubia as “troublesome” and went on to say,…
There’s a rule of thumb I have about not directing my fire at other Catholic writers or publications. When we’re not educating people about the many beautiful aspects of our faith, our goal as a publication is to unmask those responsible for the revolution in the Church so that their works can be seen for what…
In what appears to be the first (of hopefully many) prelates to speak out publicly in favor of the Four Cardinals Letter, Auxiliary Bishop Józef Wróbel of Lublin, Poland, said in an interview with Michele M.
