The Remnant’s Compromised Traditionalism: A Mask for Conciliar Apostasy
The Remnant Newspaper reports on various events including a Christ the King pilgrimage in Mexico, Cardinal Raymond Burke’s praise of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), scheduled pontifical liturgies amid “Pope” Leo XIV’s deliberations on Traditionis Custodes, a London rosary crusade, TLM cancellations by Bishop Mark Beckman, an open letter regarding seminary admissions in New Orleans, political commentary on New York’s mayoral race, and Cardinal Joseph Zen’s promotion of reparation prayers. The portal frames these as positive developments for “traditional Catholicism.”
Guadalupe Pilgrimage: Syncretism Disguised as Piety
The 38th annual Christ the King pilgrimage to the “Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe” exemplifies the post-conciliar obsession with false ecumenism. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas primas (1925) established Christ’s social kingship as the antidote to secularism, demanding that nations “publicly venerate and obey the reigning Christ.” Yet this event centers on a shrine built upon syncretic indigenous legends, tacitly endorsing the dangerous mariolatry condemned in the Syllabus of Errors: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error 18). The 2,500 participants unwittingly perpetuate religious relativism by treating a local devotion as universal, contradicting the Church’s exclusive claim to salvation: “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Burke’s TLM Rhetoric: Empty Sentimentality
“Many were inspired to practise the heroism of holiness, even unto martyrdom.”
“Cardinal” Burke’s statement about the TLM fostering martyrdom rings hollow while he remains subject to the conciliar antipopes. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili sane condemned the modernist error that “faith is ultimately based on a sum of probabilities” (Proposition 25), yet Burke operates within a structure where sacramental validity is uncertain due to the 1968 invalid ordination rites. His praise for the old liturgy becomes sentimentalism when divorced from the integral faith, reducing the Mass to aesthetic preference rather than the unbloody renewal of Calvary’s sacrifice. The true martyrs died against ecclesiastical compromise, not for nostalgic ritualism.
Pontifical Liturgies: Theatrics of Illegitimate Authority
The five scheduled Traditional Latin Masses in Rome and the US—including one at St. Peter’s Basilica—demonstrate the conciliar sect’s diabolical disorientation. When Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King, he decreed that civil rulers must “fulfill their duty of public veneration to the reigning Christ” (Quas primas). Yet these liturgies occur under “bishops” appointed by antipopes who reject Christ’s social reign by signing UN climate accords and promoting interfaith worship. The ceremonies are liturgical cosplay, for as the Defense of Sedevacantism file proves: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (St. Robert Bellarmine). Any Mass offered by clergy recognizing Leo XIV participates in the abomination of desolation.
Rosary Crusade: Superficial Piety Amid Doctrinal Collapse
The London rosary procession’s 2,000 attendees mistake emotional displays for authentic reparation. True reparation requires uncompromising doctrinal clarity, yet organizers remain in communion with “bishops” who permit homosexual “blessings.” Pius IX’s Syllabus condemned those who claim “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (Error 55), but England’s legal system now enforces transgender ideology while its “Catholic” hierarchs remain silent. The rosary becomes a talisman when divorced from the mandate to convert nations: “The Kingdom of Christ encompasses all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (Quas primas).
TLM Cancellations: Persecution of True Worship
Bishop Beckman’s suppression of Traditional Latin Masses in Tennessee parishes follows the modernist playbook described in Lamentabili sane: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics” (Proposition 63). This is not mere bureaucratic malice but satanic hatred for the propitiatory sacrifice. As the False Fatima Apparitions file notes, modernists “diminish the efficacy of Holy Mass in favor of spectacular acts”—here replacing the TLM with “synodal” gatherings. Faithful Catholics must recognize that valid sacraments exist only where priests reject the conciliar sect entirely, as per Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis (1947).
Seminary Scandals: Fruits of Conciliar Rot
The open letter exposing homosexual admissions in New Orleans seminaries reveals the institutionalized perversion of the post-conciliar “church.” St. Pius X warned that modernists reduce Catholicism to “natural religion” (Lamentabili, Proposition 20), and this moral collapse flows inevitably from Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae. The solution isn’t internal reform but exodus: “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins” (Revelation 18:4). Only clergy ordained before 1968 or by valid sedevacantist bishops preserve apostolic succession.
Political Commentary: Naturalism Replacing Supernatural Faith
The analysis of New York’s mayoral race focuses on secular politics while ignoring the duty to establish Christ’s social reign. Quas primas declares: “Rulers and legitimate superiors will use their authority religiously” only if they see themselves governing “in the place of the Divine King.” Yet The Remnant discusses socialist candidates without demanding their conversion or excommunication—a betrayal of Pius IX’s Syllabus (Error 77). True Catholics must work to “restore all things in Christ” (E supremi, Pius X), not merely choose between naturalistic evils.
Cardinal Zen’s Act of Reparation: Inadequate Gesture
“Cardinal” Zen’s promotion of reparation prayers, while commendable in isolation, becomes hypocritical theater while he remains subject to the Beijing-Vatican agreement’s betrayals. True reparation requires denouncing the conciliar antipopes as formal heretics, per Canon 188.4: “Every office becomes vacant by public defection from the Catholic faith.” Until Zen breaks communion with Leo XIV, his prayers are sacrilegious, for one cannot simultaneously petition Heaven and obey those who “exchange the truth of God for a lie” (Romans 1:25).
The Remnant’s reporting exemplifies the deadly middle ground between modernism and tradition. Like the Pharisees criticized by Christ, they “strain out a gnat but swallow a camel” (Matthew 23:24), decrying liturgical abuses while submitting to heretical usurpers. Only by embracing sedevacantism and the true Mass offered by uncompromised priests can Catholics fulfill Pius XI’s mandate: “To restore all things in Christ… so that Christ may be all and in all” (E supremi, 1903).
