In conclusion, we knew there was an alignment between, Catholic Family News, Father Gruner and the neoSSPX.
It makes perfect marketing sense that they should join forces to promote and endorse each other.
I assume that you are unaware that Fr. Gruner actually owns Catholic Family News.
John Vennari is only the editor.
:shocked:
Thanks, I didn't know that...
I wonder how that could be true when they don't trade their mailing lists?
Fatima Crusader mail goes to the Fatima Center mail list and CFN
goes to the CFN mail list. If you were Fr. Gruner, wouldn't you send
at least a promo for CFN to your Crusader list at some point?
--That is, if you "owned both?"
So what do you base this on, that Fr. Gruner "actually owns CFN?"
Hello Neil,
Yes Fr. Gruner does own and publish the Catholic Family News (CFN).
Here are some Startpage.com searches:

Fr. Nicholas Gruner started an apostolate in the 1970s to promote the message of Fátima. This is done through a magazine called Fátima Crusader. He and his magazine take a critical stance toward the compliance of the Popes with the message of Fátima, specifically the request for the Consecration of Russia. This stance continued after the Consecration of 1984 and the 2001 publication of the Third Secret of Fátima, both of which he considers incomplete. Despite recent assurances by the remaining visionary Sr. Lucia Santos, given through the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, his criticism continues. It should be noted that Fátima is not a matter of the faith.
In addition to Fátima Crusader, Fr. Gruner owns and publishes the Catholic Family News, which he acquired several years ago. Like the Remnant and several other small Catholic papers, Catholic Family News takes a critical view of the post-conciliar changes in the Church, especially in matters of the liturgy.

Well, that's news to me, Machabees. Thank you. I guess I have to have
a bit of reconsideration of all this. I'm getting the inkling that there is now
someone behind the scenes urging Fr. Gruner to adjust his ways, and do
some things he never did before, and not do some other things he's always
done. There is a new 'General Manager' of the office, for one, a certain
Michael Longval. Maybe it's just a business concern..........
In the Wikipedia quote, it says Fr. Gruner is the "publisher" not "owner."
The Owner is Catholic Family Ministries, Inc.
So - who's on the board of directors for CFM Inc.?
Also, in the CFN over the past few months, there have been some curious
characters creeping in. The one that struck me was
Fr. Cyprian, Prior, Our
Lady of Guadalupe Monastery in Silver City NM, whose recent nefarious
actions resulted in him 'excluding' his best priest there,
Dom Raphael
Arizaga, OSB, whose declaration is
here, but there is Fr. Cyprian, first
in line on page 4 and page 15 of the March issue of CFN. To be fair, these
two events happened about the same time, that is, Fr. Arizaga's expulsion
and CFN's announcement of the "Saints...Scoundrels Conference," but the
conspicuous alignment is telling, nonetheless. Actually, I see the first
mention of Dom Cyprian's presentation in the January issue, which would
have been a few weeks before he expelled Fr. Arizaga.
Now, in the following item, I should be able to excuse it on logical basis, but
it nonetheless gives me the creeps. On the cover of the January CFN, I
see the little face of my HERO, Blessed Jacinta of Fatima, right next to the
deplorable MUG of John Courtney Murray. A more OPPOSITE contrast
can hardly be imagined. Okay, if they had put Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles
Manson there it would have been worse. But still, did they have to put the
MUG of Murray right beside my little girl?
It's the hermeneutic of shock-value, apparently.
Is Fr. Gruner trying to wake up the sleeping masses by throwing images
that don't belong together, up on the billboard for all to see?
Bottom line is, CFN just had a 3-day weekend conference in Cleveland,
and now, a mere 5 months later, the same "owner," Fr. Gruner, is putting
on a WEEK-LONG (Sunday thru Friday) conference in Niagara Falls,
Ontario, Canada? -With a "Gala Fundraiser" on Wednesday, 9-11?
There are four other big events all in the span of these next 5 months:
1) This weekend's Crisis in the Church Conference in London,
2) The Silver Anniversary of +W's consecration in Virginia,
3) Priestly Ordinations in Winona,
4) St. Benedict Center's Conference in October (11-12, NH).
That makes six events in six months.
Meanwhile, we might have WWIII.
I have a question.
With these POLITICAL speakers speaking on these government cօռspιʀαcιҽs, 911, the Federal Reserve, the engineered for collapse of the economy, Fiat money, etc, and Bishop Fellay accepted to go, speak, and share in the company of these POLITICAL speakers within this “Catholic conference”, didn’t Menzingen, Bishop Fellay, and his leader subordinates condemn Bishop Williamson, as a Catholic Bishop, for engaging into such POLITICAL talk to warn the Catholic Faithful about these very cօռspιʀαcιҽs that will engulf them with suffering and to prepare for this tyranny?
“Good for the goose; not for the gander”?
Convenient hypocrisy of Bishop Fellay and Menzingen!
Shame on you…
That is not fair nor right!
You must apologize to Bishop Williamson for your unjust slander and persecution you have committed against him!
Honestly, if this is not hypocrisy, then Msgr. Fellay must be suffering from a mental decline.
This tells me that
+Fellay has delusions of grandeur. He thinks
he can be critical of his brother bishop on certain points, and then turn
around and not be critical of others for the same reasons, or, worse still,
engage in the very same things himself, and nobody will notice.
You can hardly blame him though, with all the lemming-lapdogs taking in his
ridiculous duplicity and laughing at anyone else who calls it into question.
This is par for the course. So to him, his delusions of grandeur are not
really delusions. That makes him all the more dangerous.
