Trump Fan

Editor, The Remnant: President Trump is one of the greatest presidents this country has ever had.

He truly wants to make America great again. He cares about everybody, not just the rich and famous, but about the little people as well. He feels sorry about the way veterans have been neglected and treated so badly for so many years.

Unlike many politicians, he tries very hard to keep the promises he made during his campaign. Some politicians will promise anything in order to get elected, but once in office they could care less about keeping those promises.

Another thing that adds to the greatness of president Trump is his belief in the sanctity of all human life. He is the most pro-life president this country has had in many years. God bless President Trump! Donna Kruger

What Persecution Looks Like

Editor, The Remnant: I’m an eightysix- year-old man who appreciates and enjoys a part-time job as a monitor on a First Student School Bus.

I’m writing about what happened on the bus I was working on about two years ago because I’m convinced it calls attention to modern happenings concerning sexual identity. My job seniority allowed me to win the assignment I then had on a "special needs" bus which transported seven kids to St. Mary School in North Providence.

Everyone on the bus including myself called the student I’m writing about "Emily" even though I knew this student’s name was also listed as "Jeffery" on the list of the students assigned to our bus. Sometime later, another student on the bus asked me: "What name shall we call you?" I responded, "Call me Mr. George."

The student I’m writing about (Emily/ Jeffery) did not like my suggestion and shouted out: "His name is not 'Mr.' George, his name is George!

At his point I became a little upset and called this student "Jeffery"! which is the name on the bus list. I had not spoken this name before on our bus. He/ She became so upset that I received a punch in my mouth to which I quickly responded by hitting him/her with my cap. Next this student called 911 on a cell phone and two Pawtucket Policemen quickly arrived at our bus. I was taken off the bus and talked to and Jeffery/ Emily was talked to on the bus.

A few weeks went by when I received notice to appear at the Pawtucket Police Station where I was taken into a back room by three cops. I was fingerprinted, questioned and given a date to appear at a Providence Court. Except for the former "Operation Rescue", (for which I have no record) I had never before been to court for anything.

I contacted Local 251 which is the Labor union which represents our bus employees. They chose not to represent me in this situation. I am no longer allowed to bid for a job on a statewide bus because of this incident.

I obtained my own attorney who represented me during my three court appearances. He informed me that he would charge Emily/Jeffery and his/her family with a felony if they did not show up for this third session. They had not appeared for the first two. I was being charged with a misdemeanor which is a lesser offense. They did not show and so the judge dismissed my case. Thanks be to God!

1989 in the Catholic Church?

Editor, The Remnant: The modernists have had their 1789 in the church and used totalitarian methods to maintain their doctrinal victory in everything from parishes to seminaries. More and more Catholic leadership today reminds me of the Soviet Politburo just before the collapse of their empire. Out of touch and covering up for a failed system that never delivered any of the promises of their revolution. Is it 1989 in the church?

Warm regards, Bill Choquette

The Church-Emptying Pope

Editor, The Remnant: I am afraid that Pope Francis is a little behind the times on his "Pluralism and Diversity of Religions" agreement that he recently signed with Ahmad el-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Egypt’s al-Azhar Mosque that you mentioned in the February 15, Remnant.

A good friend of mine, that I have known for decades through our involvement in the Pro-Life movement (and who is an evangelical protestant) just recently mentioned to me that many Catholics that he knows by name are taking it upon themselves to search for "greener pastures," so to speak. He told me that Baptist churches are having a heyday with all of the new arrivals of previous Catholics. Sort of like a "buyer’s market." Being that he never mentioned anybody by name, I have no way of knowing how strong religiously these previous Catholics are—although I assume that they must have had a fairly good foundation of Catholicism. After all, it is much easier to convince persons who have had at least a rudimentary Christian education to believe that some other Christian denomination is a better place to worship than someone who is completely irreligious. And he never said this to me in any kind of a haughty way like, "We Protestants are stealing Catholic sheep." No, he is sincerely concerned with what is happening in the Catholic Church, with questions like: "What is it with Pope Francis?"

He seems well informed with what we Catholics are going through in our present doctrinal travails that are splashed all over the internet. He even mentioned with regret how members of his own small circle of evangelicals, who were part of his Christian conversion, are compromising in a number of areas—that this is the "Great Apostasy" that Jesus mentioned would be part of the end days.

Yep, Pope Francis is doing a great job in really emptying the Catholic Church by all his pronunciations in support of unrepentant sodomites, Catholics in serial marriages, adulterers, public official’s uncontested prideful support for abortion, and other public sins, some of which "cry to heaven for vengeance."

And this to the detriment of the faithful Catholics who are being generally ignored and even verbally abused for adhering to the practices of the Traditional Catholic Faith as witnessed to and prayerfully passed down to us by the Apostles, the Church Fathers, and the Catholic Saints and martyrs.
