Appeal from a SSPX School

Editor, The Remnant: I am grateful for any space you might give to this request for prayers. Having experienced the wonderful dynamic of the Traditional Catholic Movement in America, I am nostalgic of the freedom allowed to parents and to educational institutions in the United States.

Freedom? Indeed, relative though it may be, and fast disappearing too.

Here in the U.K., socialism has long cuddled and cudgelled the population.

Satiated with welfare and entertainment, we have now entered the final stages of George Orwell’s dystopia.

Stonewall has been hard at work in the back rooms of Westminster. All children will now be called to recognize, honour and promote immorality. From September 2020, relationships and sex education will become statutory in all secondary schools in England. Independent schools (those who receive no state funding) are independent no longer. We must preach the secular creed.

"Relationships and sex education" expounds the delights of Sodom and the exciting wonders of gender identity and exploration. Parents still retain the right to withdraw their children from some of the classes, but only with school approval.

Few schools will be able to withstand the pressure of routine and rigorous government inspections and endless reams of red tape. California is nothing in comparison to our poor island. The past 15 months have been tough.

This latest governmental challenge illustrates well the plight of Catholic families in the U.K. It is incredibly difficult to find a suitable school. It is only a matter of time before the ongoing government debate around home-schooling ends in new laws that further curtail parental rights. I write in the hope that Remnant Readers will pray for the only school left in England where parents can entrust their children knowing that they will come to no harm. St. Michael’s School has now been in existence for thirty years and it is the only Traditional Catholic School in the land. As the battle intensifies, we are looking for spiritual support and financial help to keep up the good fight and to form tomorrow’s Catholic leaders. Who knows?

The good Lord may inspire a reader to inquire further and reach out. Meanwhile, although thousands of miles away, please pray for us here in England, that we can continue to help preserve our children’s innocence.

Fr. John Brucciani Headmaster, St. Michael’s School Burghclere, U.K.

Should I Convert?

Editor, The Remnant: I’m not a Catholic but I pray the rosary every night and always wear the miraculous medal.

Both give me great peace during a very horrible time in my life. I’ve thought about converting for a number of years but just can’t pull the trigger because the Church hierarchy (including the Pope) seems to have completely gone of the rails.There are no traditional Catholic churches near me and because of medical issues driving long distances is not possible. Should I continue doing what I’m doing now or hold my nose and convert?

Editor's Reply: Hold your nose and convert, please. The Church is under assault right now because she is the true Church, she is the only light in the darkness, despite the sinfulness and the diabolical disorientation of so many of her leaders. You have your eyes open, and the Church needs people like you to join her ranks. Maybe you will be the victim soul that will bring grace to a shepherd or two, and prompt him to do the right thing.

You've been given a great grace. Have the courage to respond to it.

MJM The Taylor Marshall 'Unite the Clans' Interview of Michael J. Matt Editor, The Remnant: Michael Matt is such a great Catholic Apologist and journalist.

He has worked with so many terrific Catholic thinkers of the second half of the past century. As a 30-year subscriber to the Remnant, I appreciate his appearance on Dr. Marshall’s podcast. He is a defender of Catholicism and the Mass; and not of the "catholicism" and "mass" of the counter-cultural, revolutionary Church of the 1970’s. He defends the Church that made real saints, celebrated real liturgies, and confected real sacraments. If anyone can rally the Clans together, he can! I’m so glad that he accepted Dr. Marshall’s invitation. Also, I was glad that Mr. Matt made the point that Francis is nothing special--just one of a long list of "usual suspects."

GeofferyN Online Editor, The Remnant: I like that Michael Matt is one of the few out there who says that no matter where you sit in the internal politics of all this, all Catholics of good will must band together to fight.

We have many faithful Catholics out there who are scattered all over. NO, Diocesan TLMs, FSSP/ICKSP, SSPX, sedevacantists. People who love the Church and love Christ. Everyone seems to think they’re in the right and each of these groups have the extremists who are so sure of how right they are and how wrong everyone else is that they act like Gnostics. It’s time to stop the bickering, we live in a confusing time and we are all doing the best we can in good conscience in order to follow Our Lord.

Any Catholic restoration will look like a return to tradition of some sort, even NO Catholics will eventually come to see that.

In the meantime, we need to work together with all Catholics who have realized that things are wrong and truly love our Lord in order to stay strong, rise up, and defeat the evil that has infested the Church.

Remnant TV in Rome

Editor, The Remnant: I recently found your podcast on your recent trip to Rome.

I found your commentary compelling, put into words many of my current feelings about the Church.

I recently started attending the Latin Mass here in St. Louis -- after flirting with Greek Orthodox -- I decided to remain RC and glad that I did. Thank you. Sincerely, Terry Conway
