  • The Traditional Catholic news periodicals we once trusted, have been infiltrated.

    Is a False Counter-Revolution Sprouting?
     

    Dear Editor of TIA website,

    I am writing to you to express my indignation over what is going on with some traditionalist organs that claim to be counter-revolutionaries.
     
    The real Counter-Revolution, as the name indicates, is turned toward stopping/destroying the Revolution, which is a multi-secular process that has been gradually subverting Christendom and the Catholic Church. This noble fight can never compromise with the Revolution otherwise it becomes revolutionary itself and loses it efficacy, just as a filthy cloth cannot clean a surface that is dirty and needs to be cleansed.

    DICI posts commemorations of Vatican II's 50th anniversary
     One compromise that I have noticed is the recent approval and unrestricted promotion by DICI - the news agency of Society St. Pius X - of the Vatican-based NEWS.VA. As we all know, the Vatican today promotes many things that are censurable - such as the praiseful daily news on ecuмenical events, the constant advertisement of the French Revolution motto - liberty, equality, fraternity - and its corresponding religious liberty in the Modern State and human rights, the indirect promotion of Communism by supporting the Liberation Theology agenda, to cite just some of the NEWS.VA daily topics.
     
    Now I ask: How can an organ that pretends to be Catholic and counter-revolutionary like DICI transmit to its readers the news of the Vatican without any commentary to vaccine them against these errors? It is not possible. DICI is clearly entering the line of compromise.
     
    If more confirmation were needed, I recall the times when the same agency used to warn its readers against the Protestant tendencies of the Novus Ordo Mass. Today, DICI recommends its readers to go to NEWS.VA where they can daily drink its poisoned waters teeming with acceptation of the Novus Ordo Mass.
     
    Also of note is the traditional Catholic monthly and website, The Remnant, promoting the Pope’s ‘Year in Faith’ with its progressivist agenda. Such promotion is made under this pretext: “Militantly liberal forces are at work trying to intimidate the Holy Father against continuing his liturgical reforms. Traditional Catholics cannot sit by and let them have their way.” However, these reforms, like the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificuм were/are made in order to bring traditionalists and counter-revolutionaries to a compromise, to wit, to accept the New Mass and Vatican II.

     Another initiative that raised indignation in me was the joint promotion of a conference called the “2012 Catholic Identify Conference” by The Remnant, Angelus Press and others who pretend to be the authentic representatives of the Counter-Revolution. I wonder what “Catholic identity” will be defined in this conference when we know that the two mentioned organizations are compromised by increasingly supporting Vatican II, the New Mass, silencing resistance against progressivist Bishops and conciliar Popes, etc.
     
    How can any authentic counter-revolutionary in conscience promote this without betraying his convictions? I do not have the answer.
     
    I have posed such serious questions to these organizations, but got no answers: How can this be so? How can you justify these actions? What higher power changed your mind? What Holy Ghost of the Traditional Roman Catholic Church would influence souls to participate in celebrations for such causes of abomination?
     
    The most significant question: Once the radical restructuring of the Catholic Church by the Pope and Bishops’ Synod takes place and Catholicism is reduced to a ‘Unified Christianity,’ in good Catholic conscience how and to what do we convert or pray for conversion of souls?
     
    Of all of the fires of the Revolution that burn simultaneously in the temporal and spiritual worlds, the flames of this particular fire, burning at the very doors of the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Our Lord and Savior, is the most significant.
     
    When one considers that the last bastions of the traditional Church and the souls of traditionalists are being threatened, one must be very careful to be duly diligent before blindly entering into one of these many compromises. Or one risks stoking the fires of the Revolution, feeding it fuel and tending its flames – and eventually plunging into the fiery abyss!

Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

    The liturgical reforms underway include a new version of the 1962 Missal - is The
    Remnant
    also excited about that reform?

    This "Year in Faith" business is inaugurated on October 11th, the 50th Anniversary of
    the official abandonment of Papal authority in the Opening Speech of John XXIII.
    This is the Great Holy Day for Liberalism due to that speech. This is the day their
    lord has made, and they are glad and rejoice in it. Who is their "lord"? The same as
    the Freemasons: "Lucifer, the Light Bearer: doubt it not!" (Morals and Dogma,
    Albert Pike).

    This will be the first such year in the history of the Church. Previous years dedicated
    to the Catholic Faith were named so as to be unambiguous, "Year of the Faith." But
    no more. This time it's no longer "the Faith" because that doesn't respect the
    false faith of false religions. It also implicitly denies EENS, the dogma of the Faith that
    Fr. Hector Boduc (for one!), RIP, so valiantly defended.

    Does The Remnant also respect false religions?

  • DICI's problems are obvious, but I was hoping the independent Remnant would "hold-out" and not be infected.

    I wonder how these newspapers become infiltrated?

    Does someone like "Tel Aviv Max" show up and offer them bribes or threats?

  • The Remnant is to Benedict XVI what the Wanderer became for John Paul II.

    The Remnant started going soft awhile ago.

    Catholic Family News is where I go for my Catholic news nowadays.

    Bingo. Go back and take a good, hard look at Michael Matt in any of the
    conferences he's participated in over the past 4 years. He has categorically
    sunk into a funk of compliance and weakness: compliance with the NewFaith
    of NewChurch and NewRome, and weakness in regards to defending the
    Faith of our Fathers with ZEAL and FORTITUDE. Compare his speech with
    that of Fr. Pfeiffer, for example. No comparison. CFN and therefore John
    Vennari, however, are holding out very well, all considered.

  • I noticed this about Michael Matt a few years ago and quit taking the Remnant.  He has consistently stayed with the diocese indult masses, and I think this has weakened him.  Not to step on anyone’s toes here on this forum, but what I have noticed is the people who waffle and compromise by having one foot in the diocese and one in tradition seem to end up being weak.  They fall easily.  One man I know wouldn’t come to the SSPX, stayed with the indult, and didn’t get the last rites.  I don’t mean to judge, but in seeing this it appears to me we do well to be sold out to the Truth, and by the grace of God stay away from what can be a temptation to compromise the Faith.  Look at Bishop Fellay - maybe he was getting in too close with those at the Vatican.  No one is invincible.

    Christopher "papal masterstroke" Ferrara lost his courage after the SPLC declare him part of its "dirty dozen" of Catholic αnтι-ѕємιтєs.

    As anonymous keyboard crusader, I profess gratitude for family-man Ferrara's public stance martyrdom while lamenting his subsequent softer line.
