AN UNFORTUNATE BUT NECESSARY DECISION

March, 2019
Dear Bishops, Fathers, League brothers, friends and supporters:
I deeply regret having to inform you of the decision to discontinue publishing Oportet Christum Regnare. The copy now in your hands, # 19, is our last issue. Be assured, however, that each and every subscriber – including those extra-generous souls that greatly assisted this apostolate by purchasing Gift and/or Life Subscriptions – will be sent A FULL REFUND for the remaining balance on his/her account(s). I only ask that you be patient in receiving your check. It will take some time to cover the enormous expense of reimbursing nearly a thousand regular subscribers and more than 20 life subscribers.

WHAT WENT WRONG?

Although there has been a tremendous outpouring of favorable feedback from very many enthused readers since we re-launched the magazine in 2013, nevertheless the bottom line is that the quarterly never reached the point of paying for itself. We lost money on every issue produced these past 6 years, despite a few donations now and then and new subscriptions coming in from all over the world on a more or less regular basis. It wasn’t enough to sustain the ever increasing costs of graphics, printing and binding (FYI, your editor never took a nickel in payment for any of his services). Frankly, we expected at least a small number of those who praised the magazine to actively help promote it. That would have likely made all the difference. But very few actually did. We are grateful to those few, but over-all there seems to be a serious collective deficiency in militancy and apostolic zeal among the majority of Resistance faithful, as among Catholics in general, Traditionalists no less than their Novus Ordo counterparts. At least not enough militancy and zeal to keep an uncompromising publication like ours in circulation. So be it. God knows we did our very best to keep it going, motivated by that most urgent of causes – the Catholic Cause, to include the Resistance, Restoration and Counterrevolution –, personally funding much of the project for as long as we could. We can no longer afford to keep doing so. Our time, energy and very limited finances will now be much better spent elsewhere.

However, Hugh is willing to consider producing a Newsletter, but he needs to know how many people are interested. If you would be willing to subscribe to a newsletter then please contact him at hughakins@comcast.net
