Flashback: Catholic Monitor's Demands to the Remnant Editor Matt if he wants us to "Stand Together" with him

Could the Remnant editor Michael Matt's "Francis is definitely pope" bias, that Francis is pope because that's an infallible dogma of the Francis Creed, finally be starting to crack?

I know from someone who knows the inner workings of Matt's editorship of the Remnant because she has written for him that he "has not allowed phrases like 'questionably legal'" before in his newspaper or website that appeared in the article "APOSTASY AND OLD LACE: Do We Have an Uncle Benny Brewster in the Attic?":


- "... Nearly seven years after his resignation from the Papacy, (questionably legal, but certainly effective) the good bishop has found himself to be in fine fiddle, enough to coauthor a new book with Robert Cardinal Sarah on priestly celibacy."

In fact, Matt in his latest YouTube video "DONALD TRUMP: Vatican Public Enemy No. 1" appears to be claiming he and the other "Francis is definitely pope" traditionalists may be willing to call a ceasefire and stop their attacks, misrepresentations and blacklisting of the BiP[Benedict is Pope] movement and the Bishop Rene Gracida movement. He said:

"I may have it wrong. You may have it wrong. But what is important, right now, is that we do not dogmatize opinion on some of this... Don't panic. Stay close. Keep praying. Stay together. We can do that. We can all stand together. Do our part without anathematizing. Let's give it a try."
("DONALD TRUMP: Vatican Public Enemy No. 1": https://youtu.be/WBUHhQrct_M, 24:22-24:31 and 26:51-27:02])

Sadly, I am tempted to think Matt is using the "Good cop/bad cop" routine:

"The 'bad cop' takes an aggressive, negative stance towards the subject, making blatant accusations, derogatory comments, threats, and in general creating antipathy between the subject and themself. This sets the stage for the "good cop" to act sympathetically, appearing supportive and understanding, and in general showing sympathy for the subject. The good cop will also defend the subject from the bad cop. The subject may feel they can cooperate with the good cop either out of trust or out of fear of the bad cop. They may then seek protection by and trust the good cop and provide the information the interrogators are seeking.[3] "

"This technique also has its disadvantages in that it can be easily identified and the 'bad cop' may alienate the subject.[4]" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_cop/bad_cop]


I want to trust that Mr. Matt is being sincere, but as "President Ronald Reagan on several occasions in the context of nuclear disarmament discussions with the Soviet Union" said "trust, but verify."
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust,_but_verify]

Unfortunately, too many of Matt's traditionalist collaborators and even he by playing the bad cop too many times have lost our trust with such things as misrepresenting, attacking and blacklisting members of the BiP movement and the Bishop Gracida movement.

Matt's long time collaborator, for example, Chris Ferrara used misrepresentation:

"Furthermore, the only time I have ever spoken face-to-face with Ann Barnhardt, at least that I can remember, was at Lake Garda, and the entire conversation involved my objection to her claim that the “data set” shows Bergoglio is not the Pope.  We have no competence to assemble “data sets” and declare that the Chair of Peter is vacant."
[

He said that the Barnhardt position was "to declare the Chair of Peter is vacant." The BIP position is the exact opposite of "declar[ing] that the Chair of Peter is vacant."

Next, Matt has at no time condemned or at least distanced himself from the despicable and loathsome Alinsky tactics of One Peter Five publisher Steve Skojec. Canon law expert Br. Alexis Bugnolo explains the tactic and gives an example of which there are numerous (which, also, include attacks on Bishop Gracida):

"The recent attacks on Ann Barnhardt, chief of all, seem to be employing the Rules for Radicals. In Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, we have, for example, Rule 13, “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”  This means, in regard to persons, to dissuade the public from consideration of the truths professed by an individual by attacking that individual on personal issues."

"Then there is Rule 5, “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon,” which has been honed into a fine art by Steve Skojec, editor and publisher of OnePeterFive.com — apparently a commercial site, because of its *.com, but in reality organized in US Law as a non-profit, where it appears from its tax filings 100% of funds raised, after expenses, go to Skojec or family members.*"


"Here is an example of that, in regard to Ann Barnhardt."

Finally, the editor of the Remnant has not allowed free debate of the issues on his publication or website with real members of the BiP movement and the Bishop Gracida movement. He in his YouTube video mentioned as an example of free debate at the Remnant an article of Robert Siscoe which is a joke. Siscoe is a close collaborator of the disgraceful Skojec who in my opinion, also, misrepresents the issues. (See: Catholic Monitor, "Why are Skojec & Siscoe Afraid of a Conclave Investigation by Cardinals?") [http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2019/03/why-are-siscoe-and-skojec-apparently-so.html?m=1]

If you, Mr. Matt, are sincere and want us to "all stand together" then "stop dogmatiz[ing] opinion" and stop "anathematizing" and stop attacking, misrepresenting and blacklisting the BiP movement and the Bishop Gracida movement.

Here are the Catholic Monitor's demands if you sincerely want me and my readers to "stand together" with you:

Demand number 1:

Condemned or at least distanced yourself in writing from the loathsome Alinsky tactics of One Peter Five publisher Skojec.

Demand number 2:

Have your writer Mr. Ferrara issue a apology and retraction to Miss Barnhardt for mispresenting her position. 

Demand number 3:

Allow Bishop Gracida and canon law expert Br. Bugnolo to publish articles in the Remnant and then get which ever expert you want and have an honest debate in your newspaper between them and your experts.

Lastly, Mr. Matt, if you really think we who follow Bishop Gracida, Br. Bugnolo as well as Miss Barnhardt are wrong and headed to hell for being in schism from Francis then out of simple charity for our souls you should honestly counter our dissertations and arguments.

If you really believe we are wrong and headed to hell and refuse to seriously give us real arguments then you apparently have lost the supernatural virtue of charity.

If you really believe what you are saying then for charity's sake you should attempt to save us from hell for being in schism from Francis:

But, all we hear are straw man arguments that don't counter our stated dissertations, name calling propaganda, blacklisting, silence or the noise of you running away as fast as you can from serious reasoned back and forth argumentation.

Just to give fair warning:

We are not going away.

We are growing.

Soon we will be to be too big to ignore.

As even Church Militant's Michael Voris reported we are becoming the majority of faithful Catholics in Rome. The same thing is happening in the United States and if you can't stop us now we will probably grow to be the majority of faithful Catholics in America.

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of the Jesus and the Immaculate of Mary.

Might it be Good for all of us & for Francis to Read about the "Gruesome Death of Arius"?

  I have read the letters of your piety , in which you have requested me to make known to you the events of my times relating to myself, and to give an account of that most impious heresy of the Arians , in consequence of which I have endured these sufferings, and also of the manner of the death of Arius . With two out of your three demands I have readily undertaken to comply, and have sent to your Godliness what I wrote to the Monks; from which you will be able to learn my own history as well as that of the heresy . But with respect to the other matter, I mean the death, I debated with myself for a long time, fearing lest any one should suppose that I was exulting in the death of that man. But yet, since a disputation which has taken place among you concerning the heresy , has issued in this question, whether Arius died after previously communicating with the Church ; I therefore was necessarily desirous of giving an account of his death, as thinking that the question woul

FBI Fun!

By Laramie Hirsch  The World Wide Web is indeed a “web,” and Deep State agencies are its spider. This whole situation that TLM Catholics are in with the feds reminds me of the messages from Our Lady of Heroldsbach.  Specifically this one from 1959*: “An adult seer had a vision of a large spider web that ran through the whole  universe. In its center sat a metal blinking spider. The woman heard a voice: ‘This web must  not be touched, when it is touched, it will tear’.” And yet, here we online Trad Catholics are, playing in the metal spider’s web.  We’ve been doing this for a quarter of a century.  Just piddling away on the Internet, freely sharing our thoughts and feelings online under the presumption that we’re protected from oppression by “American free speech,” heedless to any notion of a threat.  Here we are, under a supposedly “Catholic” president and a supposedly “Catholic pope,” and it looks like the Stasi of the old USSR is reforming once more, only this time with an American f
