The Vatican still hasn't obeyed Our Lady of Fatima's command

Walt is pleased to share an e-mail just received from Michael Matt, Editor of The Remnant newspaper, on the subject of  the blatant and egregious hypocrisy being shown by Pope Leo and his acolytes and minions in (supposedly) excommuniating the bishops and priests of the Society of St. Pius X, and even the faithful Catholics who in any way "adhere to" or support the SSPX. Like me, for one.

People who live in glass (papal) palaces shouldn’t throw stones. The Vatican likes to brag about how merciful they are but have evidently failed to notice the hypocrisy of brutally kicking faithful Catholics out of the Church without even giving them a fair hearing.

They say they want to listen to the people, but evidently only if the people parrot back to them what the Vatican wanted them to say in the first place.

They say they are synodal and yet behave like rigid idealogues to those who disagree with their new ideas. Most recently, the world looked on in disbelief as the Vatican refused to hear the desperate cries of a million Latin Mass Catholics whose only crime was an earnest desire to keep the Faith of their fathers.

These rigid shepherds demand obedience of their sheep even after they themselves have offered an example of sustained disobedience to God’s law, the laws of the Church, and now even the natural law.

For a hundred years before Fiducia Supplicans detonated -- whereby the Vatican greenlit blessings for homosexual couples -- they had steadfastly refused to obey Our Lady's command to reveal the "Third Secret."

This, by the way, is the same apparition wherein Our Lady said: “More souls go to hell for sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” No wonder a Jimmy Martin-friendly Vatican would ignore Fatima for as long as possible.

Eventually, they trotted out a doctored-up version of her "Third Secret", which even Mother Angelica famously declined to accept as legitimate. And of course, they've refused to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, exactly as she had asked. In fact, the world is still waiting.

Would that the Vatican were as patient with the SSPX as heaven has been with the Vatican. In any case, in our day Pope Pius X’s prophecy has proven to be alarmingly accurate – Modernists have infiltrated the Church.

The good news? They will fail. In fact, they’re failing already. Far from blowing the Traditional Catholic counterrevolution apart, their recent pharisaical crackdown on Latin Mass Catholics is backfiring. The SSPX has forced the Vatican's true agenda into the light, thus helping millions to see the destructive nature of their Revolution.

My new Underground contains a special message to the Catholic clans of the world: Do not lose hope! To beat them at their own game -- and to not be deceived by their forked tongues -- we must develop a better understanding of the Modernist Revolution and what the endgame has always been. (St. Pius X, pray for us.)

God has not abandoned His Church. I am just old enough to remember what the great pioneer traditionalists did when all of this happened the first time around. At that point, the Latin Mass had been “abrogated” and was gone forever. And then 1988 happened!

Keep the Faith and Modernism will be powerless against you. And in God’s good time, the Modernist Pharisees will become yet another set of forgotten footnotes in the glorious history of Christ’s Church. It is just a matter of time. 

In Christo Rege, Michael J. Matt

VIDEO: Every Traditional Catholic needs to watch this NOW!

Our regular readers will know that Walt is excited -- "incensed" would be a better word -- by the Vatican's purported "automatic excommunication" of the 6 bishops, >700 priests and 10s of 1000s of lay people who belong to and/or support the Society of St. Pius X. 

The SSPX incurred the wrath of Pope Leo XIV and  his chief minion, Carndinal "Tuccio" Fernandez, by consecrating four new bishops on July 1st, without the approval or consent of the Holy See. According to Canon Law, that's illegal. BUT can you punish those involved -- including the innocent laypeople -- by cutting them off from the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church without a formal declaration or any kind of hearing?

Among those saying "NO!" is Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper and  host of Remnant Underground. See "Michael Matt reacts to the SSPX consecrations", WWW 1/7/26. In his latest video, dropped earlier today, Mr Matt argues that the real story isn't simply about excommunications or canon law. It's about whether the Vatican is at war with Catholic Tradition itself... and whether faithful Catholics will allow themselves to be divided while it happens. 

Dear Catholic reader, whether you attend an SSPX chapel, an FSSP apostolate, the Institute of Christ the King, a diocesan Latin Mass, or none of the above, this message is for you. Watch now... and share it with every Catholic trying to understand what is really happening before the clans of Tradition are divided once again.

VIDEO: Michael Matt reacts to the SSPX consecrations

This is a follow-up to "Letter from Michael Matt re the Society of St. Pius X's intended consecration of new bishops",WWW 30/6/26. The consecrations took place in Switzerland this morning, as promised. On the latest Remnant Underground, Mr Matt asks: What happens now?

 

Mr Matt, like the rest of us traditional Catholics, is waiting for Pope Leo's slipper to drop. Will he blink, or will he drop the excrement-mallet on all those who dare to be Catholic? Stay tuned!!!

VIDEO + Fw: Letter from Michael Matt re the Society of St. Pius X's intended consecration of new bishops, scheduled for tomorrow

Traditional Catholics like YVT are on the edge of their seats [on their knees in prayer, surely. Ed.] waiting to see if Pope Leo XIV will make good on the threat delivered by his minion, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, to excommunicate all the bishops, priests, and religious of the Society of St. Pius X, as well as the faithful who attend SSPX Masses, if the Society goes ahead with the consecration of four new bishops without the approval of the Vatican. 

The SSPX is doing this because the Catholic Church -- the church established by Our Lord Jesus Christ while He was here on Earth -- is in crisis. To understand the nature of the crisis, and why this consecration must be done, watch this Remnant Underground video, with Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper and author of the open letter which we received today and publish below.

 

Michael Matt writes:

The night before the SSPX has long-since planned to consecrate bishops and the very day that they have welcomed 30,000 faithful to Econe to witness the liturgical ceremony, Pope Leo – who has evidently refused to meet with the Superior General of the SSPX, despite multiple filial requests – is NOW suggesting he’s "open to dialogue".

Pope Leo’s letter reads in part: "I beg and implore you with all my heart: turn back! I urge you to carefully consider the spiritual good of the faithful, for the schismatic act you would commit would deprive them of the lawful -- and in some cases even valid -- reception of the sacraments they love and seek for their own sanctification. The Church is open to a path of dialogue and understanding that the Holy Spirit can make possible and fruitful. I pray for you, for tearing the seamless Tunic of Christ is a sin of the utmost gravity."

This is a wonderful example of pre-emptive damage control and papal hubris. But what about the Vatican's role in tearing the "seamless tunic" to shreds by throwing us out of our churches, depriving our children of the only Mass they've ever known, leaving the Catholic schools in such chaos that we are obliged to educate our children at home?

What about the clerical sex scandals that have rocked the Church ever since our children can remember? What has the Holy See actually done about that? Father Rupnick's "artwork" is still disfiguring the facades of cathedrals all over Europe, as if to announce that, once again, the Vatican cares nothing about the victims of priestly sexual abuse.

What about the liturgical insanity that first forced faithful Catholics to drive for hours on Sunday mornings in search of something that looks vaguely Catholic, and then ultimately led to empty pews and churches closing everywhere?

What about the millions of young people who have simply walked out of the Church forever, so tired are they of a largely homosexualized priesthood and a completely emasculated liturgy?

The nuns are mostly gone. The schools are mostly closed. The churches that are still open are mostly celebrating gay pride. And the crisis in the Church is so serious that even Pope John Paul called it the "silent apostasy". Surely, the Holy Father can't be serious that WE are to blame for the abuse we've endured at the hands of our spiritual fathers.

How badly does His Holiness think we're suffering from Stockholm Syndrome that just a couple of years after Traditionis Custodes – when the Vatican ruthlessly ripped the Latin Mass out of our lives and in effect told our kids to go to hell – we'd now be ready to hear a papal lecture about how the SSPX is responsible for tearing the seamless garment by establishing scattered oases of Catholic water and life in the middle of the spiritual desert that the Vatican has made out of our beloved Catholic Church?

No, Holy Father, we beg YOU – do not do this! Do not expel one of the few orders of faithful heterosexual priests left – priests who have remained true to the Faith of our fathers and who are far more concerned about the souls of our children than about celebrating LGBT outreach here in the Month of the Sacred Heart.

We have been abused by the Vatican long enough, Holy Father. We have had enough of Vatican abuse and apostasy scandalizing our children. Please, for God's sake and the sake of our children, stop this madness! 

In Christo Rege, 

Michael J. Matt

VIDEO: Disaffected Michael Matt asks: Did you REALLY vote for this?

I am one of the many 1000s who are (to put it mildly) disappointed that President Trump has not yet succeeded in Making America Great Again. I think POPTUS made a hyuge (mildly, again) mistake in attacking Iran, after having promised to keep us from getting entangled in any more Mid-East wars, and putting the treasure spent on Iraq and Afghanistan to better use at home. And yet, here we are, wondering how in hell he's going to get America out of this hot mess. See "WINNING! "The war is over!" POTUS orders 5000 troops back to USA", WWW 2/5/26.

I know Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, agrees with me [or vice versa. Ed.] Here's an excerpt from the latest edition of the Remnant Underground, in which Mr Matt asks: What's going on with Trump's America? Is this what we voted for?!

ICYMI, Mr Matt said it seems to him that there's not much to choose from between the Trump Republicans and "the other guys", that neither party seems prepared to do what is necessary to truly fix a broken America. He might agree with my argument in "Uniparty politics FAILS in UK... still working in Canada though", WWW 10/5/26, that we (the AABC countries) are headed in the wrong direction, no matter which half of the Uniparty is in power.

VIDEO: Michael Matt calls out Christian Zionists over Iran war

Call me a Mugwump if you want [OK, you're a mugwump! Ed.] but I'm not totally on board with the war against the Mad Mullahs of Iran. 

There can be no doubt that the Middle East and the world in general would be a better and safer place if the Islamic theocracy were overthrown. But, as I suggeested yesterday, I don't see any clear plan for replacing the arch-Muslim dictators with a more tractable regime. And I certainly don't want to see another debacle like Iran or Afghanistan. 

One thing's for sure. I reject the argument of the Christian Zionists that this war, fomented by the Israelis (read: Jews) is all part of God's plan to establish His kingdom on Earth. For those who haven't heard, Christian Zionism is a theological and political movement wherein Christians support the state of Israel and the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land, believing this fulfills biblical prophecy regarding the End Times. 

Rooted in 17th-century Puritan thought, this ideology sees modern Israel as a divine miracle. No traditional Catholic can believe that, as Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper says in an e-mail received here today, as follows:

Re: War in Iran – regardless of the nonsense Senator Ted Cruzmissile learned in Sunday school, Bibi’s manmade messiah has no legitimate Biblical foundation. Not to make this all about Sen. Lindsey Graham, but the warmongering Zionists are trying to blasphemously show Jesus Christ how it’s done. 

What they’re essentially doing now is laying claim to the temporal power the Sanhedrin wanted the first time around. Charlie Kirk was right! Their kingdom is most definitely of this world! So, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran…and any other country that gets in the way of Israel’s nuclear-armed messianism.

Antisemitic? Not at all! Orthodox Jews reject Israel’s militarized messiah out of hand. They consider it heresy, which is why I heavily lean on their testimony in this week’s Underground [the video below. Ed.]. 

Traditional Jews and Traditional Roman Catholics know their scripture, whereas Zionists rewrite it to accommodate their political aspirations. From Iraq to Gaza and from Syria to Iran, this is about a human hack for a divine curse... They base their claims on a religious right to the land of Israel, as promised to Abraham, heretically insisting that once Jews repossess Israel, this will bring about the millennial rule of Christ on Earth for 1000 years. 

What are they missing? Almighty God keeps His promises! So, just as Adam forfeited Paradise on Earth by his sin – and we forfeit God’s promised heavenly Jerusalem through mortal sin – so too the Jews forfeited the Promised Land by breaking the covenant with God.

In Deuteronomy 28:63-64 (DRV), Moses warns them "the Lord shall rejoice destroying you and bringing you to nought, so that you shall be taken away from the land... The Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the farthest parts of the earth to the ends thereof." 

That is the judgment of God Himself, and it was reaffirmed in no uncertain terms by His only begotten Son. Any attempt to circumvent it on the part of Zionists – Christian or otherwise – is blasphemy. 

In this latest edition of The Remnant Underground, Mr Matt takes a deep dive into the biblical foundations of this fundamentally Christian reality: No one can be at the same time a sincere Catholic and a Christian Zionist. Listen and learn.

VIDEO: Minnesota civil war: it's not about ICE any more (Michael Matt)

Our old friend Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, lives in Minneapolis-St. Paul. He speaks today about what's going on -- an incipient international incident -- not 100 miles from his home.

Today, it was -20 F in the Twin Cities, yet tens of thousands – including many priests and rabbis — showed up for the #ICEout rally. Bivc-President J.D. Vance flew to Minnesota to tell the press that, although he wants more co-operation with local law enforcement, the Insurrection Act is not needed. 

Meanwhile, President Trump does a complete 180 and says the shooting of Renee Good was a "tragic accident." In this week's Remnant Underground, Mr Matt explains why so many conservative influencers agree that the ICE tactics are the problem. 

Joe Rogan compared the tactics to those of the Gestapo, and Bill O'Reilly said that if POTUS doesn't find a way to lower the temperature he's going to "lose the country." 

Mr Matt argues that this is not a Republican vs Democrat issue. There is a whole lot more going on here than mere immigration enforcement. What is happening in Minnesota right now could negatively impact the entire world. Why so much outrage? Where’s the Catholic Church? And what’s the connection between Minneapolis, Gaza, Greenland and Davos? If you scrolled past the "play" button, go back and hit it now.

VIDEO: Canuck residential schools hoax debunked

In the two years since the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation's 2021 announcement about the location of 215 potential unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in the Canadian province of British Columbia, a number of priests, pundits, and politicians have downplayed and questioned the validity of the findings. 

Some have declared the news of potential unmarked graves at many former residential school sites across Canada to be a 'huge lie". Others insist that the lamestream media, the Canadian government, and First Nations have conspired to created a hoax by misrepresenting the news of potential unmarked burials sites as a "mass grave" to shock and guilt Canadians into caring about Indigenous Peoples and the woke shibboleth of "reconciliation". 

Predictably, the usual suspects in the human rights and reparations industry scrambled to disprove the media conspiracy argument by finding some graves. Meanwhile they encouraged the anti-religious left to "burn it all down", resulting in almost 100 churches, mostly Catholic, being burned by arsonists who were never caught... not that any serius attempt was made so to do.

Well, guess what, folks? The "residential schools denialists", such as Candace Owens, Tom Flanagan and our old friend Michael Matt, were right! The vilification of the residential schools and the Catholic Church was all an enormous lie, all part of the conspiracy of the anti-Christian, One-Worlders to destroy the Church. And the wokesters in the New Church of Francis fell for it... hook, line and sinker. Indeed, some of the hierarchs are among the conspirators!

In this video, excerpted from "THE CATHOLIC FACTOR: Cristeros, Canadians, and Candace Owens", the latest from The Remnant Underground, Mr Matt gives the residential schools hoax as just one example of  the Neomasonic Revolution firing up the Christophobic mob, and what Christians should do to stand up to it!

VIDEO: Bishop calls Vatican II "reforms" "elitist, disruptive & reckless!”

Walt regrets having been unable to attend (except in spirit) the Catholic Identity Conference held in Pittsburgh this past weekend. Clicking the link will take you to the home page where you read all about who was there, who said what, and what was achieved. You can also watch the livestream and access the video library.

One of the featured speakers was the Most Rev. Marian Eleganti, Auxiliary Bishop of Coire, Switzerland, who had recently issued a very powerful statement condeming the Second Vatican Council (aka Vatican II) and its poisoned fruits. 

English is not Bishop Eleganti's native tongue, and he speaks with a thick accent, so, in creating a promotional video for the CIC, Emcee Michael Matt (editor of the Remnant newspaper, read the prelate's statement on the Remnant Underground. This is a fine dramatic reading of the bishop's summation of how the "spirit of Vatican II" led to the crisis faced by Holy Mother Church today.

VIDEO: Michael Matt asks who's behind the gay invasion of St. Peter's

In our last post yesterday we promised to repost the latest Remnant TV video by Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, on the topic of last weekend's gay invasion of St. Peter's Basilica. 

This is a shortened version of the Remnant Underground video posted on Remnant TV, focusing on Mr Matt's commentary of the abomination of desolation in the holy place, in the holy year, and in the Holy See, as 1300 proud gay and lesbian "Catholics" are welcomed (by whom?) into the Basilica for a Jubilee Year celebration of diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

Even Fox News Channel covered The Remnant’s report from Rome on the most horrific scandal since Pachamama. But what does it mean? Is Pope Leo onboard, or are we looking at yet another pope who will flee for fear of the wolves?  Watch, listen and think!

The Big Question posed by Mr Matt is this: Would Father Robert Prevost -- the man who became Pope Leo XIV -- approve? Where is Father Prevost now? Where is the Father Prevost who said the media is trying to shame the Catholic Church for her strong stand on abortion and homosexual unions? Is the pope we are seeing now the real man, or the creation of the Mauve Mafia? And if Father Prevost has really become Francis II, what shall we traditional Catholics do? Mr Matt gives the answer.

VIDEO: "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran!"

Walt feels the need to post something more about the Israeli (read: American) attack on Iran than the little cartoon which appeared here this morning. We can poke fun at the Ayatollahs and mad mullahs all we like, but to say that we have to get them before they get us... that's just wrong! In his latest Remnant Underground video, Michael Matt tells us why supporting "Christian Zionism" is a big mistake, and what we must do to save our country.

But first, this overture. Those of you who grew up with the music of the Golden Age of Rock, the kind featured in American Graffiti, will have noted with sadness the passing of Brian Wilson, the musical genius behind The Beach Boys, who died a few days ago at the age of 82. RIP. This is one of my favourite Beach Boys hits.

What, you may wonder, is the connection with the attack on Iran. Read our headline again, quickly, or better yet, sing it... the way the Beach Boys did! No wonder Mr Matt uses it to preface his thoughts on the mistake of joining the endless Middle Eastern war.

Dear Christian friends -- Catholic and otherwise -- Mr Matt has shown the flaws in the argument for joining in the Jewish war on Iran. It's not that Mr Matt or we here at WWW are anti-Semitic. It's simply that this war goes against everything we, as Christians, profess to believe. Now you know.

Footnote: This video is an edited version of AMERICA FIRST?? TRUMP BOMBS IRAN_ MAGA Divided, Neocons Delighted, Israel Wins, published on Remnant TV on 22 June 2025. Mr Matt's report on the latest Chartres pilgrimage and the great Catholic Revival now shaking Europe have been omitted. Click here to see the full-length (44:15) video.

VIDEO: Michael Matt dunks on Charlotte's "Bishop Boomer"

Walt is pleased to forward the following e-mail, received last night from Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper. 

Hello James, It's all a lie. The Bishop of Charlotte, NC, is perpetuating a bald-faced lie – that the Latin Mass is divisive and needs to be canceled in the name of unity. In the new Underground (below), I offer 40 years' worth of evidence-based PROOF that the Latin Mass is, in fact, a great unifier in any diocese.

Four of the Bishop’s own priests have sent him a letter, begging him to reconsider his ban on the thriving Latin Mass centers in Charlotte. Thousands of his own faithful have done the same. But the cries of the sheep have fallen on the deaf ears of the angry shepherd.

So much for Synodality, right Bishop Michael Martin?

This coming weekend, ironically, another bishop – Mgr. Philippe Christory, Bishop of Chartres, France – will open the doors of his iconic cathedral to 25,000 traditional Catholics for the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass on Pentecost Monday. In this tale of two bishops, the American is obviously an embarrassment to Catholics all across the country.

The "listening Church?" Yeah, right! 

Such hateful intolerance of faithful Catholics is unacceptable, and we call upon Pope Leo XIV to replace the Bishop of Charlotte with someone more akin to the Bishop of Chartres, who though not a Traditionalist, is nevertheless a pastor who is willing to listen to and accompany all of his sheep. . . even those who love the Latin Mass.

For the very best arguments against the Bishop of Charlotte’s pathetic witch hunt – including vintage Michael Davies on who is actually disobeying Vatican II (hint: it’s not the traditionalists) – please watch and share this with everyone you know. Enough is enough already! 

In Christo Rege, Michael J. Matt

Dare we hope that Leo XIV will reverse the "woke revolution"?

Today we're pleased to present a mash-up [How about "Editor's cut"? Ed.] of a recent "Underground" vlog from Remnant TV, featuring our traditional Catholic friend, Michael J. Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper. If, after you've watched the clips, you want to see the whole thing (run time 41:12), just click on the link.

The video is Mr Matt's response to the election of Pope Leo XIV. Is he a "traditionalist"? (asks Mr Matt) No, he’s not. Will he denounce the revolution of Vatican II? Likely not. So, what hope is there for a reversal -- or at least a halt -- to Francis' attempt to remake Holy Mother Church to conform to the Age of Woke?

Mr Matt lets us hear from a conservative (and non-Catholic) voice, that of Thomas Sowell, an American economist, economic historian, social philosopher, and political commentator. Listen carefully to his concise and precise analysis of what's wrong with the "Church of Francis".

Ed. regrets to advise that Michael Matt has learned that the clip supposedly featuring the voice of Thomas Sowell was a fake -- generated by AI. Mr Matt has deleted it from his video (the one linked above), and Walt has also deleted it from his Rumble account. AI is turning out to be a very dangerous thing. We'll be more careful about reposting videos, and trust that you, dear readers, will keep a healthy sense of skepticism... yes, even about what you see on WWW.

 

In his video, Mr Matt concludes that, yes, there is a glimmer of hope. No counter-revolution in sight yet, but some of the first signs of change portend a change "back to the future". Let us continue to resist.

 As the New York Times article cited by Mr Matt shows, we are starting to win!

One more thing... Mr Matt got a good chuckle out of this item from Saturday Night Live.

Indeed. Catholicism is not like a cafeteria. You can't pick and choose which things you want to be believe and which items of faith or its practice you want to pass over. You have to accept all of the Faith... or none of it. As Saint Ignatius of Loyola said, "What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines."

VIDEO: Michael Matt's reasoned response to the election of Leo XIV

On reflection, we should probably have waited for Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, to weigh in before we ran the video with John-Henry Westen. But Mr Matt's video didn't drop until about two hours ago, and were in a rush to put something up ASAP. Not that we think Mr Westen was wrong in what he said. It's just that rushing to judgment is a mistake, more often than not. 

The main point of Mr Matt's video -- only twelve minutes, so watch the whole thing! -- is that we ought not to judge Pope Leo XIV by what he said and did in the past. Let's wait and see what he does. He may well be lifted up by "the grace of office", and change his views on certain matters of faith and how we practise it. He might even have the Damascene conversion which Walt mentioned earlier. 

Let us pray to St. Joseph for Holy Mother Church. St. Joseph, husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus, you have been charged with the protection of the universal Church. Guide and protect the people of God walking toward fullness of life. Lead all Christians to unity in the same faith. Obtain for the Holy Father, for all our bishops, and for all the faithful, the graces of enlightenment and strength.

VIDEO: Michael Matt's urgent plea to the cardinals in conclave

Michael J. Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper and Walt's favourite Catholic commentator, is in Rome covering the conclave at which a successor to Jorge Bergoglio will be elected. 

His latest report, filed last night, concludes with an impassioned plea to the more moderate Cardinal electors, begging them to remember the promises of their Baptism and to listen not to the radical “progressives” who would “reform” the Church into oblivion, but rather to the Tradition-leaning conservatives who, with the aid of the Holy Spirit, would make the Church Catholic again.

"Just be Catholic! Just go back to the things of the soul!"

On a personal note, Walt is pleased and gives thanks to God for the presence in Rome of Joseph Cardinal Zen, the Archbishop Emeritus of Hong Kong. Through God's grace, at the age of 97 he has been able to travel to the conclave to present the traditional Catholic point of view and urge the cardinals, as does Mr Matt, to turn away from globalism and progressivism and the "church of Francis", and back to the Faith of Our Fathers. God bless Cardinal Zen and grant him many more years! 

Please join all traditional Catholics in praying for the election of a good pope.

VIDEO: The New World Order takes a massive hit in US election

It's almost two weeks since the Day of Reckoning and the shock waves are still rippling through the woke Western world. There is much tearing of hair, weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Particularly amongst the feminist community of wimmin who (according to Bill Burr) started all t his woke nonsense.

In the latest episode of Remnant TV's "Underground", Michael Matt analyses the results of the 2024 election and concludes that, in the words of the leading leftist rag,  “Pro-Abort Politicians Biggest Losers of November Election”.

Well, those weren't really the words of the New York Times. Their headling read "Wishful Thinking on Abortion Politics". Abortion was the biggest loser of all in the November election. And the politicians who support the killing of innocent babies -- Mr Matt mentions "Commie Kamala" Harris, Hillary Clinton and Tampon Timmy Walz -- were the biggest losers.

The unlerlying message -- the key to this video -- is those three familiar words, now trending again: "Christ is King!" The war is on, and the New Woke Order has lost this round. Will it lose the war? That, Mr Matt says, is where we come in. We mustn't stop now. As President-Elect Trump says, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Note from Ed.: Try not to be so stricken with mirth by what Mr Matt calls Francis near the end that you stop listening to the message.

VIDEO: The Remnant's Michael Matt on what happens next

We haven't posted much recently about religion, the culture wars, and the New World Order, because these worthy topics were subsumed by the big issues of the Presidential election. Now that it's over and the right candidate [Geddit? Ed.] won, what happens next? Here are some thoughts from our old friend, Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, and animator of Remnant TV's "Underground".

So there's not going to be a Te Deum. That's it for this week then. Absent any major news event, Walt will be taking the weekend off.

VIDEO: "Who should I vote for? Trump? Harris? Neither of them?" Michael Matt on the American Catholic dilemma

Walt has received an e-mail from our old friend Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, as follows.

In this week’s Underground I attempt to make the case that the sensus Catholicus must ultimately trump everything else, even politics. I think most traditional Catholics would normally agree. So, why are so many of them tearing each other apart over the upcoming U.S. presidential election? Because we’re being manipulated.

When it comes to the so-called “ruling Elite,” we're all at the mercy of madmen, or baby killers, or narcissists, or outright haters of everything we believe. Wanna break their stranglehold? Take a step back, breathe, and stop anathematizing your brothers in Christ who are also trying to do the right thing.

I realize St. Thomas Aquinas made provisions for voting for the lesser of two evils, but I suspect the Angelic Doctor never imagined a Godless political regime like the one in which we find ourselves incarcerated today. So, I don’t blame good people – even those who love Aquinas as much as I do – for struggling with this even still. 

So, how about this? If you can’t in good conscience vote for the lesser of two evils because you don’t want to vote for evil at all -- even when it’s described as ‘voting for the good' – then don’t! I get it! Keep the Faith, and you’re welcome at my fire anytime. If, on the other hand, you believe you must in conscience vote for the lesser of two evils to protect your family and your country as best you can, then vote! I get it. Keep the Faith, and you’re welcome at my fire anytime. 

Only God knows your heart. We are talking about deeply personal matters of the soul and conscience here – matters that can and must be discussed, but on principle – not personal judgment. Virtue-signaling Karens on both sides, in other words, only contribute to the polarization, especially when sound moral guidance from our shepherds is practically nonexistent.

In my new Underground, I attempt to discuss big (Catholic) picture. Whether you agree with me or not, I hope you share my desire to at least try to put an end to this circular firing squad. After all and whatever happens in November, we’ll still be sharing this same foxhole long after the election has come and gone. Please watch this video (especially to the end) and let me know what you think.

 

Dear Catholic friends, please pray for all faithful Christians struggling to make us their minds. And on November 5th, do the right thing, according to your informed conscience. God bless us all! Viva, Cristo Rey!

UNCENSORED VIDEO: RTV's Michael Matt on the events of a busy week, including the latest on COVID and the Great Reset

Michael Matt's "Underground" is still on YouTube, but to keep it there he's had to edit certain parts/subjects heavily to avoid offending YouTube's woke "community standards". When we repost Michael's vids -- it's hard to resist the temptation to repost all of them -- we get the feed directly from RemnantTV. Walt suggests you bookmark the link and check `em out for yourself; they're always worthwhile!

Here's this week's "Underground": "A Papal Meltdown: Vigano Accused, Rupnik Excused". If you want to see the contents before you watch, look below the window.

In this episode, Mr Matt looks at the COVID aftermath and how the wheels are coming off the Great Reset. 

With influential cultural figures such as future hall-of-fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, speaking out against the global surveillance state, it becomes easy to see that "we’re not in Kansas anymore" where conspiracy theories are concerned. The Wizard is fake news, and everyone knows it! 

Speaking of Kansas, Bishop James Johnston of Kansas City has joined Bishop Thomas Paprocki in enthusiastically supporting Harrison Butker’s clarion call for bishops to "man up" and start behaving like Catholic bishops again. 

Mr Butker blasted the bishops for closing the churches during Covid and, what do you know, several bishops just seconded the motion. Go figure! 

So, with the EU elections scoring big wins for Europe’s populist/nationalist parties – a stinging indictment of Pope Francis the Globalist – is this Reign of Terror finally running out of steam? Francis seems desperate. A case in point: With the world teetering on the edge of war, Pope Francis is putting his paranoia on full display by ordering Archbishop Vigano to come to Rome to face charges of schism. 

Yes, you read that right! He’s not trying to excommunicate MISTER Ted McCarrick – one of the worst sexual predators in Church history. Nope! Francis is going after the whistle blower. You just can’t make this stuff up! 

And, finally, with nothing better to do, the obsessed (with traditional Catholics) pontiff finds himself at the center of swirling rumors that claim Team Francis is about to launch a "Final Solution" to permanently ban the Latin Mass. Is there anything to the rumors, and what’s really behind this Vatican witch hunt?

Watch and learn!

VIDEO: How you can help make the voice of Catholic Tradition stronger

We have received an email from our old friend Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper. Many times in the past WWW has featured one of Mr Matt's excellent videos. The burden of this message is that "Remnant Underground" has struggled mightily to stay (uncensored) on YourTube. But the full, uncut version is available on Remnant TV. Mr Matt explains... 

I founded Remnant TV as part of our larger effort to reach the many millions of Catholics who’d begun to feel disenfranchised by the post-Conciliar Church. Along with one of my nephews and my then-teenaged son, Walter, I established The Remnant’s YouTube channel, which today can boast some 270,000 subscribers, nine hundred videos, and 37,000,000 views.

All was well until the Great Censorship Campaign of 2020 when the Gods of Big Tech – bowing to the demands of their Globalist overlords – elected to cancel free speech in the name of the “health and safety guidelines” established by the World Health Organization. Not surprisingly, Remnant TV’s YouTube channel was summarily demonetized, and it became clear to those who’d remained awake – not woke – that independent thinking was to become a casualty of Cancel Culture. 

And nowhere was this made more evident than on YouTube, where doctors, journalists, critical thinkers of all stripes were silenced by the masked-up champions of a warp-speed “vaccine” and a global lockdown. Initially, Remnant TV’s YouTube channel survived, after a fashion, but we could feel the noose tightening. Our time to go came in August of 2020 when one of my videos went viral. 

It was called, “THE GREAT RESET: Davos & the Plot to Cancel Trump,” it reached millions of viewers, and set up our channel for the purge. Soon thereafter, YouTube deleted my second viral video, “CORONAVIRUS: Globalism’s Perfect Storm” and although we were allowed back after one week, it was clear that the algorithms were now very much stacked against my channel. We were being shadow banned on a weekly basis, and many of our 270,000 subscribers were being kept in the dark when it came to RTV’s regular postings.

With the handwriting scrawled all over the wall, I determined to create a completely independent video platform, which included renting our own Content Delivery Networks (CDN) here at home and also in Europe. This is not cheap, but it’s absolutely essential if we’re to remain out of the control of Big Tech. The success of our privately-funded video platform – Remnant-TV.com – hinged on total independence from Amazon servers, something most alternative platforms use (including Rumble, by the way).

Believe it or not, I faced one surprising challenge: Since Big Tech offers a wide variety of the best bells, whistles, and options in the business, many good people were not eager to leave the mainstream platforms. It became necessary for me to convince my followers to support something not many content creators had even attempted – a completely independent and privately-funded platform. 

And today – three years later and with your support – I am happy to confirm that it worked. Remnant TV can boast ten million views with a functionality and user-friendly application unsurpassed by any other privately funded video player. And for that I thank God and I thank you for making Remnant TV a success.

So today – with the 2024 election year upon us and another Big Tech crackdown looming – I want to ask your help to push this project over the last hurtle. What I need more than anything else is help getting the word out to patriots and traditional Catholics everywhere that Remnant TV is now in a position to provide totally uncensored truth and analysis on its own platform.

So, I’m asking you to recruit at least one friend or family member to sign up for my E-letter. That’s the last piece of the puzzle, but it’s a big one. Because in order to beat the Big Tech algorithms, I need a network of friends to inform as many people as possible of how, when, and where RTV videos are posted. Click here to sign up!

It’s really just that simple, and I know that, together, we can do this! We can unite the clans against the online gatekeepers of this Christophobic New World Order. Please, let’s do this. With God’s help, let’s resolve to go to war in defense of everything that matters most – God, Country, and Family. 

In Christo Rege, Michael J. Matt
