But is this true? Does mercy mean that as long as we are generally "nice" people who believe in social justice causes we are, more or less, assured Heaven? Would it not be unjust for God to send anyone to Hell? After all, sending souls to Hell is not at all in line with the new…]]> big.modernism@gmail.com (Chris Jackson | Remnant Columnist) Traditional Catholic Answers Thu, 01 Dec 2016 20:44:20 -0600 https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2503-profiles-in-resistance-an-irish-saint-rebukes-the-pope https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2503-profiles-in-resistance-an-irish-saint-rebukes-the-pope The Catholic Encyclopedia entry on St. Columbanus states: On his arrival at Milan in 612, Columbanus met with a kindly welcome from King Agilulf and Queen Theodelinda. He immediately began to confute the Arians and wrote a treatise against their teaching, which has been lost. At the request of the king, he wrote a letter to Pope Boniface on the debated subject of "The Three Chapters". These writings were considered to favour Nestorianism. Pope St. Gregory, however, tolerated in Lombardy those persons who defended them..]]> big.modernism@gmail.com (Chris Jackson | Remnant Columnist) Traditional Catholic Answers Fri, 06 May 2016 14:51:39 -0500 https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2501-the-catholic-church-s-teaching-on-public-schools https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2501-the-catholic-church-s-teaching-on-public-schools On Monday, February 22, 1869 His Eminence, Cardinal Paul Cullen, Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland submitted evidence to a Royal Commission of Inquiry into Primary Education in Ireland. Cardinal Cullen’s tenure as the Archbishop of Dublin is summed up by the catholic encyclopedia as follows: The condition of the Catholic Church in Ireland, in 1878, in contrast with what it was in 1850, affords abundant proof of the fruitfulness of Cardinal Cullen's zeal and of the beneficent results achieved during his episcopate. Those twenty eight years marked a continuous period of triumphant progress in all matters connected with…]]> big.modernism@gmail.com (Chris Jackson | Remnant Columnist) Traditional Catholic Answers Thu, 05 May 2016 22:58:03 -0500 https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2488-a-lesson-in-authentic-mercy-the-truth-will-set-you-free https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2488-a-lesson-in-authentic-mercy-the-truth-will-set-you-free Can the Divorced and Remarried Receive Holy Communion?Recently, Cardinal Walter Kasper gave an interview regarding Pope Francis’ plans for the Church. A summary of the interview includes the following: [Kasper] continues, in the context of the question about “remarried” divorcees, by saying that Pope Francis has agreed with him about making some “humane decisions.” The German cardinal recounts how he once told Pope Francis about a priest whom he knew who had decided not to forbid a “remarried” mother to receive Holy Communion on the day of the First Holy Communion of her daughter. Cardinal Kasper himself concurred with that priest’s…]]> big.modernism@gmail.com (Chris Jackson | Remnant Columnist) Traditional Catholic Answers Thu, 28 Apr 2016 15:06:18 -0500 https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2436-popes-seeming-popes-and-anti-popes https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2436-popes-seeming-popes-and-anti-popes Now that Francis is officially allowing sacrilegious Communion to unrepentant adulterers, sane Catholics are starting to ask questions. Isn’t the pope supposed to be our guardian of orthodoxy? Isn’t he infallible? Isn’t the Church supposed to be indefectible? In that vein, I was fortuitous enough to come across the following article, which discusses possible scenarios regarding an heretical pope. I know that many articles have been written on this subject since Vatican II, mostly pertaining to the sedevacanist issue. However, I have never seen an article quite like this. The kicker? It was written in 1868. Therefore it cannot be…]]> big.modernism@gmail.com (Chris Jackson | Remnant Columnist) Traditional Catholic Answers Tue, 12 Apr 2016 22:49:43 -0500 https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2435-msgr-moyes-the-true-catholic-teaching-on-marriage https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2435-msgr-moyes-the-true-catholic-teaching-on-marriage In the early 1900’s Britain set up a “Royal Commission on Divorce and Matrimonial Causes” in order to consider new legislation liberalizing divorce laws in the country. As part of the process, experts were called before the Commission in order to acquire diverse opinions about the issue. On 27 June 1910, a Roman Catholic priest, Monsignor James Moyes was called to testify before the Commission. According to Msgr. Moyes' Wikipedia entry: Moyes was born Edinburgh, Scotland. He was educated in Ireland, France, and Rome at the Venerabile. Ordained into the priesthood in 1875, he was later appointed professor at St Bede's College,…]]> big.modernism@gmail.com (Chris Jackson | Remnant Columnist) Traditional Catholic Answers Tue, 12 Apr 2016 10:19:27 -0500 https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2043-is-the-sspx-in-schism-a-point-by-point-rebuttal-to-cmtv-s-catholi-schism-video https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/2043-is-the-sspx-in-schism-a-point-by-point-rebuttal-to-cmtv-s-catholi-schism-video Dear Readers, I originally had no intention to offer a point by point rebuttal of Michael Voris’ hour-long “Catholi-Schism” video. The video is part of what Voris likes to call his “FBI” or Faith-Based Investigation” series. In reality a more proper acronym would have been “DOA” or “Dead on Arrival.” For the video does nothing more than make a systematic presentation of old arguments against the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) which have all been answered before.]]> big.modernism@gmail.com (Chris Jackson | Remnant Columnist) Traditional Catholic Answers Thu, 01 Oct 2015 13:33:57 -0500 https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/1831-why-ecumenism-is-solemn-nonsense-part-v https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/traditional-catholic-answers/item/1831-why-ecumenism-is-solemn-nonsense-part-v This concludes our reprint of the article, "Reunion or Submission" penned by Arthur Featherstone Marshall in The American Catholic Quarterly Review of 1893.(Click Here for Part I , here for Part II, here for Part III, here for Part IV) "In America as in England, the gravest of non-Catholics have expressed their ardent desire for conciliation. Schemes have been proposed; congresses have been assembled; bishops and clergy have drawn up “Certain Points of Agreement;” and though such experiments have come to naught, still every earnest-minded man says, “If it be possible, let us strive after reunion."

If non-Catholics have accepted the estimate just now hazarded, that "the claim to possess the divine authority to teach truth" is in itself a strong presumption of that possession; they will have easily passed to the corollary, that “ the disclaimer of divine authority is in itself a strong presumption of not possessing it"; and they will therefore naturally turn to the authority…]]> big.modernism@gmail.com (Chris Jackson | Remnant Columnist) Traditional Catholic Answers Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:28:59 -0500
