VIDEO: The final episode (?) of Catholic Star Wars

Speaking of tyranny (see previous post), the "Catholics" who rule today's Church are working harder than ever to stamp out, once and for all, the Mass of All Time, and convert us Catholics who cling to the old and True Faith and the practice thereof to belief in and obedience to Francis and Leo's New Church of the New World Order. 

If we persist in our resistance, we are condemned as "schismatics", cast out from the Church, and therefore doomed to suffer eternally in Hell... assuming, that is, that there is a Hell -- something the modernists don't talk about nowadays. Sin, Hell, redemption, salvation, Heaven, the Four Last Things: we don't hear about those things any more. Instead we are lectured on climate change and the benefits of mass immigration.

Remnant TV has just published this remarkable video -- a montage of video clips, actually -- narrated by Arthur Hallett-West, s Catholic in deep mourning over what was lost in Vatican II. This hilarious new parody skewers the latest SSPX controversy with exactly the kind of wit traditional Catholics will appreciate. You'll laugh... but you'll also recognize the uncomfortable truth beneath the jokes. Warning: Side effects may include uncontrollable laughter and quoting Star Wars at coffee hour.

Key takeaway (IMHO): "Just whose spiritual life is it? Is the hierarchy entitled to dictate the terms of liturgical engagement as a mere servant class, which is all they are mandated to be? And if they have buggered it up, as they appear to some to have done, should they not be rebuked and held to account?'

Walt invites fellow "Rad Trads" to send the link to this post to the Catholics you know who are still apologizing for the crisis in the Church, not admitting that the poisoned fruits of Vatican II were the work of Communists, Masons and other enemies within Holy Mother Church. Their aim was, and still is to change the True Faith to something other than what was revealed to us, through the Apostles and Doctors of the Church, by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, while He was on Earth with us.

Let us pray. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

VIDEO: Warning! Is the Roman Catholic Church about to follow the United Church of Canada into irrelevance and perdition?

Two million members lost in 40 years! That's what happened to the United Church of Canada. In 1965, the United Church was Canada's largest Protestant denomination, with 1,064,000 members and 3700 churches. It was regarded as reflecting the national identity of the non-French part of Canada.

Today the United Church has just 375,000 members -- an 80% collapse in two generations. A large number of its church are either closed or empty, save for a few elderly folk who recognize that the church they attend no longer believes what they believe, but go anyway because that's what they do.

What happend? The United Church, founded barely a century ago as a merger of four Protestant denominations with a total combined membership of about 600,000 members, got caught up in the cultural revolution of the hippy-dippy `60s. It went willingly down the rabbit hole of progressivism, liberalism and, latterly, "wokeism".

The policies of the church are totally inclusive and liberal. There are no restrictions of gender, sexual orientation or marital status for a person considering entering the ministry. LGBTQ++ "worship leaders" are welcome. The heresy of relativism is embraced. Interfaith marriages are recognized. Communion (the symbol only -- not the real Body and Blood of Jesus) is offered to everyone, regardless of age, religion or anything else.

In trying hardest to be relevant, the United Church of Canada became the most irrelevant. And that reveals something profound about the failure of progressive theology -- the same theology now being adopted by the post-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church, contrary to its own teachings and commandments. 

For the Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ while He was with us on Earth, the handwriting is on the wall. Will Catholics follow their supposed leaders into the new "church of accompaniment", Francis' New Church of the New World Order, or will they listen to the voices of Catholic tradition and hold onto the Faith of our fathers, that we may yet be saved.

VIDEO: Cardinal Zen speaks truth to his brother prelates

Warning: This video is addressed to Catholics, particularly those who hold to the Faith of our fathers, as passed down to us through the apostles and Doctors of the Church by Our Lord Jesus Christ when He walked among us.

Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-Kiun, the Bishop Emeritus of Hong Kong, is (IMHO) a martyr-in-waiting. He has been a prominent advocate for human rights and religious freedom in China, and a leading opponent of the Vatican’s 2018 secret agreement with the Communists on the appointment of bishops in China. He has been jailed for his beliefs, restricted from travelling, even restricted from speaking. 

The Communist rulers of China wish that Cardinal Zen, who is now 93 years of age, would die. But God allows him to live for the purpose (it would seem) of being a thorn in the side of the new Church of Synodality founded by Francis the talking pope and now being promoted by his successor, Pope Leo XIV, of whom better things were hoped.

Cardinal Zen received permission from his keepers to attend the first consistory -- meeting of all the cardinals -- called by Pope Prevost, held in the Vatican this week. Many traditional Catholics were hoping and praying that the prelates would be allowed to discuss openly the crisis in the Roman Catholic Church and advocate a "reform of the reforms" of Vatican II and the "ultra-reforms" (read: heresies) of Francis.

Thus there was great disappointment when the long-awaited consistory -- Francis was notorious for not meeting with the Cardinals -- turned out to be nothing more than what Anthony Stine calls "a meeting about meetingality". Cardinal Zen called an exercise in "iron-clad manipulation." 

In this video Mr Stine reads the statement given by Cardinal Zen following  his private meeting with Pope Leo, and explains why what did not happen at the consistory is far more important than what did happen.

 

Dear Catholic friends, now would be a good time -- it's always a good time -- to renew our prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel. It is a powerful invocation for spiritual protection, recognizing Saint Michael as the leader of the heavenly hosts and a champion of God's people against spiritual darkness, especially during times of spiritual warfare. Let us pray:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Pray the Christmas Novena, beginning today

We are pleased to pass along an invitation too all Catholics from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter to pray the Christmas Novena which begins today, 17 December. Thank you for participating as you are capable of doing. Remember that a little is always better than nothing! May God reward you,

We thank thee for graciously hearing our prayers. Let us love thee and praise thee for all eternity. Amen.

Agimus Tibi Gratias 

We give you thanks, Almighty God, for all your blessings: who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen. 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

UPDATED: The end of Western civilization is here (VIDEO)

I don't want readers to think of me as one of those street-corner preachers, wearing a hair shirt and holding a sign saying "The end of the world is coming!" But, as I wrote in  "Not only the Vatican opposes woke gender ideology" (WWW 20/11/25), the end of our world -- of our Western (i.e. Christian) civilization -- is what the One-Worlders, including many Catholic hierarchs, are planning for us and pushing on us. 

Their replacement will be a New World Order of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in which all cultures are equal -- some more so than yours, dear reader -- and Christianity is replaced by the New World Religion of secular humanism, in which believers are their own gods and define their own morality. (Offer void where prohibited by Sharia law.)

The latest episode of Anthony Stine's Return to Tradition vlog, a priest who lost everything speaking the truth to the Church, has a new warning about the end of the Christian age.

Mr. Stine seems to assume that his followers already know of Father Donald Kloster. For those who don't, Fr. Kloster is a priest of the Diocese of Bridgeport CT, and a very traditional Catholic. Reader who would like to see and hear him are recommended to click here to see "What Vatican II Did and Did Not Do".

UPDATE AND WOW!!! (added at 1237 FMT): "State Dept. Warns Mass Migration an ‘Existential Threat’ to Western Civilization", Breitbart News, 22/11/25. The first two paragraphs:

"The United States government has warned that mass migration represents an 'existential threat' to Western civilization and has warned Europe against the continuing open borders policies and the creation of two-tier justice systems that favour foreigners over native populations. 

In a shot across the bow against the open borders ideology that has taken hold in the halls of power in many Western European capitals, the U.S. State Department urged its allies 'to take bold action and defend citizens against the threats posed by mass migration.'"

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.

Reassuring words from Pope Leo XIV

Traditional Catholics like YVT have adopted a wait-and-see approach to the papacy of Leo XIV. But we wait hopefully, encouraged by signs, however small, that Pope Prevost, although no traditionalist -- he cannot be, being informed solely by the modernist ideas and practices which are the poisoned fruit of Vatican II -- is at least not intolerant of traditional Catholicism as was his predecessor.

Here's one of the signs, a quote from his first public after his election.

Ed. is editing some video clips in which Catholic and non-Catholic commentators discuss the things that Pope Prevost is saying and doing things to heal the de facto schism between the mainstram Catholic Church and us "old believers". So let it be!

Further reading: "Is Christian Nationalism The Solution To The Frailty Of Liberalism?" by Brandon Smith, on Alt-Market, 16/5/25. Mr Smith asks, "Should western civilization be allowed to discriminate? Should we be able to refuse to associate? Should we have the right to be tribal (like everyone else) and deny entry to malicious cultures and ideologies? Is our heritage valid and enduring?" What, dear reader, would your answer be?

VIDEO: LifeSite News John-Henry Westen reacts to election of Leo XIV

What kind of "American Catholic" is the just-elected Pope Leo XIV? LifeSite News' John-Henry Westen clues us in, in this video entitled "Leo XIV an anti-Trump American, who urged invalid Confession by phone during COVID?"

 

After you've watched the video, scroll down to our earlier post, with a long and trenchant commentary on Cardinal Prevost's previous actions and expressed opinions. He might well have chosen the name Francis II!

Worth reading (even though it's from the secular press): "Expect Pope Leo XIV to bring more liberal controversy", by Michael Higgins, National Post, 8/5/25. Key takeaway: "With any new pope, you never know what you will really get. Only time will tell. But Leo XIV looks a lot like Francis II." As Walt and so many others have said.

Leo XIV: surprise for traditional Catholics... and not a pleasant one

On May 6th, LifeSite News published an op-ed piece headlined "Could Cardinal Prevost be the first American pope?" The subhead is: "Seemingly out of nowhere, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost is being discussed as a serious candidate in the upcoming conclave."

The author concludes a long list of problems evident from the prelate's past actions and pronouncements as follows: The question is whether he professes the faith whole and entire, in public and without compromise. If the answer is not a clear “Yes,” then the conclusion is clear: he cannot be validly elected or accepted as pope.  

The highlighted words link to a previous article entitled "Catholics must refuse to accept a public heretic as pope: here’s why". Apparently the cardinals in conclave either didn't read the article or chose to ignore Cardinal Prevost's record, for about 90 minutes ago, he stepped out onto the balcony as Pope Leo XIV.

For traditional Catholics, the choice could hardly have been worse. We were hoping and praying for a good Catholic pope, not a conservative like Cardinals Erdo or Sara, but at least a moderate. Instead, we got a "reformer", complicit in advancing Francis' agenda, someone who has facilitated the appointment of heterodox bishops throughout the world, and tacitly denied the traditional teaching on the episcopate.

It's interesting that Cardinal Prevost chose to call himself Leo XIV. According to Wikipedia, the last pope of that name "brought the Roman Catholic Church into the modern era, encouraging a more progressive approach to faith and social reform. He wanted the Roman Catholic Church to be more active in communicating with the world and more accessible." Sound familiar? If you liked what Francis was doing, you'll be pleased when Leo XIV leads us further down that road.

The most distressing thing about the election of Cardinal Prevost is that the man's record suggests strongly that he does not embrace and uphold the Faith of our fathers. We continue with the last part of the LifeSite News article. The emphasis is Walt's.

In this piece, we have seen that Prevost has: 

* Conspicuously failed to profess the faith in relation to the grave threats to faith and morals in our day — to the point in which this silence is taken as “discretion” and counted in his favor as a candidate

* Indicated the state of his mind through his cooperation with the appointment of notorious liberals and the deposition of conservatives 

* Cooperated in the consolidation of Francis’ longest-lasting legacy, namely the appointment of bishops embodying his ideals 

* Implicitly denied the dogma of the Church’s visible unity, by casting it in the terms rejected and refuted by Pope Pius XI in Mortalium Animos 

* Minimized the importance of doctrine in the role of the bishop, contrary to Sacred Scripture, Apostolic Tradition and the general sense of theology 

* Dismissed those who "prefer the security of answers already experienced in the past" [read: traditional Catholics]

* Promoted the modernist idea of "synodality" in such a way as to destroy the traditional concept of the bishop's threefold power of teaching, ruling and sanctifying his flock 

* Explicitly denied that a bishop is a "prince" in his diocese, contrary to the teaching of the magisterium and the liturgy 

* Replaced the traditional understanding of the bishop’s role with that of "service" presented in naturalistic terms, and which he has already separated from doctrine and governance through his other words (even while he retains references to teaching and shepherding). 

[T]he wider points discussed in this article... — doctrinal deviations which become clear after a careful consideration of his role as Prefect for the Dicastery of Bishops — are both cause for alarm in themselves, and as shedding light on his silence. They indicate that Prevost is not a coward or a tactician, but a loyal son of Francis, and that he will continue the work of his master and benefactor, if he is elected — even if he does so in a more discreet and moderate way. 

This raises grave questions about whether or not Prevost can be said to profess the Catholic faith at all, and thus whether he is a member of the Church. If he is not a member of the Church, then it is not possible for him to be validly elected as pope. 

At the very least, there is serious doubt on the matter: and a man whose visible membership in the Church is itself in serious doubt can only be doubtfully elected to the papacy, even if the conclave is unanimous. Should such a man be elected, the resulting doubt would not be about his popularity or policies, but about his very authority. This is why great theologians and canonists held that a doubtful pope is no pope at all....

The question is whether he professes the faith whole and entire, in public and without compromise. If the answer is not a clear “Yes,” then the conclusion is clear: he cannot be validly elected or accepted as pope.

While we wait to see what Leo XIV does -- please God, he may have some sort of Damascene conversion -- we must continue to pray that God will find a way to end and heal the de facto schism in Holy Mother Church. 

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

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: Why God cannot forgive the sin of suicide

"Life is disappointing? Forget it!" So says the Master of Ceremonies in Cabaret. Can anyone say that he has never contemplated suicide? We have an unhappy love relationship. We face financial disaster. Our health has deteriorated to the point that we are just waiting for death, praying to be relieved of our suffering. So we say to ourselves, "I don't want to be a burden on others any longer."

In those and many other dire circumstances, thoughts of suicide come easily. And the miracles of modern medicine, practised by those who care not for God, make it possible for us to depart this vale of tears, shuffle off the mortal coil, and end it all, with no fuss or bother, perhaps even no pain. You don't even have to do it yourself. A doctor will be pleased to "assist" you, with a look of compassion on his face while pocketing the fee.

Dear reader, no matter how bad things may be, you mustn't do that! You can pray for a happy death, an easy death, for release... but you must leave that to God. In his homily preached today, Good Shepherd Sunday, at Saint Aloysius Roman Catholic Church in Thorold ON, Father Robert Novokowsky, FSSP, explains why suicide, including "medically assisted death" (MAID), is the one sin that God cannot forgive.

Please share this with any of your family and friends who are struggling to make descisions about the end of life. God will bless you... and them!

Today at St. Aloysius R.C. Church in Thorold ON, this happend...

The third part of the Mass of the Presanctified -- the traditional Roman Catholic Good Friday liturgy -- is the Adoration of the Holy Cross. 

A large crucifix, whose figure is covered by a purple veil, is brought from the sacristy to the middle of the sanctuary. The celebrant receives the Cross in front of the altar. He then unveils the Cross in three steps -- first one arm, then the other, and then the entire Cross.

As he does so, he sings (each time): Ecce lignum Crucis, in quo salus mundi pependit. (Behold the wood of the Cross, on which hung the Saviour of the world.) The choir answers: Venite adoremus. (Come let us adore.)

This afternoon, at Saint Aloysius Church, in Thorold ON, a remarkable thing happened... perhaps not so remarkable to those who embrace the True Faith.

At the precise moment when Father Robert Novokowsky, FSSP, unveiled the Cross, there was a bit of thunder, and the heavens opened up, as if Heaven was crying, mourning the wickedness of the world, for which the Son of God paid the price.

After a short while, the sun came out again, just as Christ rose again on the third day. This is the testimony of one who was there. Maybe it will mean something to you... maybe not... But let it never be said that God doesn't send us messages -- signs, signals and, yes, warnings -- every day.

Traditional Catholic prayers for Good Friday

Good Catholic friends... If you attend the Good Friday Liturgy at a mainstream Roman Catholic church today, you will hear only a "reformed", politically correct version of the Solemn Prayers which were said in all our churches, on every Good Friday for centuries, until the disorientation caused by Vatican II. Here are the old prayers in a translation bearing the imprimatur of Francis Cardinal Spellman.

1. For Holy Church
Almighty and eternal God, who in Christ hast revealed They glory to all nations: preserve the works of Thy mercy; that Thy Church, spread abroad over the whole world, may with a steadfast faith persevere in the confession of Thy Name. Through the same our Lord...

2. For the Supreme Pontiff
Almighty and eternal God, by whose judgment all things are established, mercifully regard our prayers, and in Thy goodness preserve the Chief Bishop chosen to rule over us: that the Christian people who are governed by Thine authority, may under so great a Pontiff increase in the merits of their faith. Through our Lord...

3. For all orders and degrees of the faithful
Almighty and eternal God, by whose Spirit the w hole body of the Church is sanctified and governed, hear our supplications for all the orders thereof; that by the gift of Thy grace, they may all in their several degrees faithfully serve Thee. Through our Lord...

4. For the rulers of the state
Almighty and eternal God, in whose hands is all power and authority: look with mercy on those who govern us, that Thy right hand protecting us, integrity of faith and security of country may be preserved. Through our Lord Jesus Christ...

5. For catechumens
Almighty and eternal God, Who dost continually enrich Thy Church with a new offspring; increase the faith and understanding of our Catechumens; that being born again in the waters of Baptism, they may be joined to the children of Thine adoption. Through our Lord...

6. For the necessities of the faithful
Almighty and eternal God, the Comfort of the sorrowful, the Support of the weary, let the prayers of them reach Thee that cry to Thee in any affliction; that all may have reason to rejoice that in their need Thy mercy hath come to their aid. Through our Lord...

7. For the unity of the Church
Almighty and eternal God, Who saves all men, and desirest not that any should perish: look down on such souls as are deceived by the wiles of the devil; that laying aside all heretical perverseness, the hearts of those who are in error may be converted, and may return to the unity of Thy truth. Through our Lord...

8. For the conversion of the Jews
Almighty and eternal God, Who art ready to extend Thy mercy even to the Jews, hear the prayers which we offer for the blindness of that people; that by acknowledging the light of Thy truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness. Through the same our Lord...

9. For the conversion of infidels
Almighty and eternal God, Who dost ever desire the life, and not the death, of sinners: mercifully receive our prayer, and deliver them from the worship of idols, and join them to the flock of Thy holy Church, for the praise and glory of Thy Name. Through our Lord...

VIDEO: Why the weaponized FBI is targeting traditional Catholics

Last November, Most Rev. Joseph Strickland was "fired" by "Pope" Francis from his position as Bishop of Tyler (Texas). His crime? Opposing globalism, wokeism, and the leader of the New Church of the World Order. 

Following an apostolic visitation (a word with some interesting meanins) in September, several of Francis' cronies in the Vatican advised him Francis to pressure "Bishop Joe" to resign. But the good bishop refused to bend the knee! In October he penned an open letter to the faithful saying "[resigning] would be me abandoning the flock that I was given charge of by Pope Benedict XVI." 

On 31 October 2023, at the Rome Life Forum of LifeSiteNews, Bishop Strickland read out a letter (attributed to a "friend") which included the question: "Would you now allow this one [Francis] who has pushed aside the true Pope [Benedict XVI] and has attempted to sit on a chair that is not his define what the church is to be?" The letter also described Francis as an "usurper of Peter's chair" and "an expert at producing cowards". 

Bishop Strickland did not dispute these accusations, and described the letter as "challenging". He then made his own comment that Pope Francis backed the Vatican's "attack on the sacred". He was asked to resign on 9 November, and, after refusing again, was deposed on 11 November 2023.

But the prelate has not been silenced. He continues to stand up and speak up for the True Faith, whenever and wherever he can. Last week he spoke at CPAC at National Harbor Maryland. His subject was the FBI's investigation of traditional Catholics, revealed in hearings before the House Judiciary Committee last fall. See "New Report Details the Extent of the FBI's Weaponization of Law Enforcement Against Traditional Catholics".

Bishop Strickland was interviewed on this and related topics by Breitbart News' Matthew Perdie. Listen carefully as he gives a clear and concise explanation of why the liberals, wokesters, and Deep State have a hate-on for traditional Catholics and other Christians.

Key takeaway (at about the 5th minute):  “The Catholic Church is, and should be, totally opposed to this woke agenda … The Catholic Church should reject [the woke agenda] because it’s a rejection of God. It’s a rejection of who we are: created in the image and likeness of God... [Tyrannical leaders] are threatened by those who stand for the truth and won’t budge."

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

VIDEO: Is there any point in fighting back? Michael Matt answers

We received an e-mail just now from our old friend Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, letting us know that he's posted a new video on Remnant TV.

In this edition of The Remnant Underground, Michael explains why the FBI is so obsessed with the Latin Mass movement. Far from fading into obscurity, the Traditional Catholic movement is the talk of the most powerful people on earth, even on the floor of the United States Senate.

There's lots here. See Tucker Carlson end Mike Pence's presidential aspirations with one devastating question. And watch the antics of the "Catholics" at Saint Joan of Arc "Catholic community" in Minneapolis, which "Pope" Francis has chosen to play a key role in the Synod on Synodality. 

You'll learn the truth about World Youth Day -- so disturbing that even Bishop Robert Barron is speaking out against what Cardinal Gerhard Müller calls a "hostile takeover of the Catholic Church." No wonder the proponents of the New World Order feel threatened by the Latin Mass communities, to the point that an FBI memo, which Director Christopher Wray called "the Richmond product", recommended surveilling -- read, targetting -- us "rad trads".

But wait... there's more! Mr Matt reveals the "ultimate crime" (as far as the globalists are concerned) for which Pope Benedict XVI was forced to resign.

Michael Matt says it is essential for us all to keep hope alive and stay totally committed to the final victory. On the evidence of the clips included in this video, the bullies, perverts, idiots and lunatics at the Vatican, the White House, the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, etc, are trying to destroy not just the Catholic Church but the entirety of western civilization. 

Let us join Mr Matt and Member of the European Parliament, Christine Margarete Anderson, in saying to them, "We will bring you down. And we will not tire until we have done just that!"

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

VIDEO: Michael Matt on the passing of Pope Benedict XVI

Yesterday I posted a few words on the death of Pope Benedict XVI, RIP. It was all I had time for. More to the point, I have mixed feelings about the papacy of Pope Ratzinger, and needed time to sort out my feelings. Even more to the point, I could never write a clear and objective analysis of the Benedictine era so well as others, notably Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper. 

In this special edition of The Remnant Underground, Mr Matt says that, for some, Benedict was a saint, while, for others, he was a villain. What cannot be denied, Mr Matt says, is that his intervention on behalf of the Latin Mass changed history and breathed new life into the Catholic counterrevolution.

   

In an e-mail received here today, Mr Matt outlines the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI: 

* An entire generation of young Catholics were reconnected to the Mass of our fathers, thanks to Benedict. 

* As Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, he was instrumental in the founding of the Fraternity of Saint Peter. 

* He made it clear that the Latin Mass was never abrogated, and never could be. 

* He lifted the excommunications of the bishops of the Society of Saint Pius X. 

But in the end (Mr Matt writes), he left the Church in the hands of the worst pope in history. So where does one stand on the pontificate of Pope Benedict, and how will history judge the man who restored the Latin Mass on the one hand, and saddled the Church with Francis on the other?

Let us pray: Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.

Waiting for the 8th - YouTube bans Remnant Underground... again!

Our old friend Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper and host of Remnant Underground, has sent us an email which confirms that the establishment media, the Alphabet People [not the LGBTQ+++, the other ones. Ed.] are silencing those who dare to suggest that all is not well in Brandon's America. 

If you don't believe me, search Google Images for "Michael Matt" or "Remnant Underground" and see how far you have to scroll down before you get to the champion of Traditional Catholicism. Anyway, here's what Mr Matt has to say, including a link to tomorrow night's pre-election Remnant Underground special, available only at RemnantNewspaper.com.

I’m proud to report that the insufferable fascists over at YouTube have banned us from posting any new RTV video until after the midterm elections.

What are they so afraid of? Well, apparently, last November we dared to suggest there may have been some cheating going on in the last presidential election. Perish the thought! One year later, they removed that video and restricted our channel. 

Do you feel safer, knowing Big Brother is protecting you from Remnant TV? I hope so!

We’re used to this, of course. Back in 2020, when RTV started hitting a million-plus views, YouTube started kindly "adjusting our algorithm" for us. Since that time and thanks to you, we built RTV back up again, and now that our videos are topping 100,000 views once again, YouTube is trying to rescue you. 

Thankfully, we don’t need no stinkin' YouTube! But please do spread the word that this Sunday night, our pre-election Remnant Underground special will be available at RemnantNewspaper.com. 

Walt will be watching, for sure, and hopes that you, dear reader, will join us. Between now and then, I recommend that you read "COUNTERREVOLUTION: Pope Francis, Joe Biden Losing Control", published in The Remnant newspaper this past Sunday. I'll see you on the beach!

MUSIC VIDEO: "Imagine no felt banners" - Dr Taylor Marshall

This is for all our Catholic readers, or at least those who still hold to the Faith of our fathers, and practise their faith in accordance with centuries-old Tradition.

 

Thank you, Dr Taylor Marshall, for creating this. Let us pray that a return to Tradition will not just be in our imagination, but in reality. Amen.

VIDEO: Michael Matt: The Great Reset is failing, and other good news

Just when you thought the world was going to hell in the proverbial bucket, Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, weighs in with a compedium of good news. "With mask mandates collapsing all over the country, and Blue state governors losing in court, there's an opportunity to push back against the COVID Stupid."

Mr Matt explains how even France is slowly loosening restrictions, while little Ireland brings up the rear. In fact, post-Catholic Ireland is almost as tyrannical as post-Catholic Canada -- two countries run by little men as maniacal as Joe Stalin but now with the technology to make the Orwell happen.

By the way, he says, "Justin Trudeau est un petit homme extrêmement ennuyeux." Walt knows, personally, scores of Canucks who agree that Mr Socks is a "little snivelling brown-noser" and are much more than annoyed.

The really good news -- "Covid's massive silver lining" -- is that modernist, liberal, progressive Christianity -- especially in the Catholic Church -- has been exposed for the sham that it is, and "is now on life support", while traditionalists are gaining strength and numbers all over the world. 

Mr Matt closes with a truly amazing sign of hope out of Poland, where the Sign the Cross transforms one of the children of darkness into a child of light... all caught on video. Check it out.

   

The Cross of Christ will save the world. 

The Cross of Christ will save you. 

The Cross of Christ will save me. 

The Cross of Christ is the Answer.
