You can see how the restoration of Chartres Cathedral is progressing. Because Notre Dame in Paris burned, the restoration was accelerated and it’s magnificent. In Chartres, they have been restoring the cathedral for the past eight years and it’s about halfway done. But you can see in this clip the dark stone as it was transformed over the past thousand years and how the cleaning and restoration process is making the interior brilliant and new again—preparing for the restoration of the faith itself… in God‘s good time.

URGENT CALL FOR PRAYER! Bishop Rob Mutsaerts was just in a serious car crash on his way home from hearing confessions. He suffered a dislocated hip, fractured pelvis, and broken elbow. His Excellency was one of four courageous bishops who stood with Bishop Schneider at the 2025 CIC and led Catholics around the world via livestream in an Act of Reparation for the August 2025 LGBT pilgrimage into St. Peter's Basilica. Below is a clip from his 2025 CIC address. Please pray for the rapid and full recovery of this faithful shepherd!

Private Latin Masses allowed in France once again. Last year, over Pentecost weekend, private Traditional Latin Masses were forbidden in Paris and Chartres before and after the Notre Dame de Chretiente Pilgrimage to Chartres. This year, presumably because of Pope Leo XIV’s March 2026 message to the French Bishops' Conference, urging the bishops to in “charity and understanding” find "concrete solutions" and "generous inclusion" for Catholics attached to the Traditional Latin Mass, private Masses are again permitted in France on Pentecost weekend. This is the first Mass for The Remnant Tours 2026 Pilgrimage to Chartres. Our chaplain preached about Saint Rita of Cascia, whose feast is today, completely unaware that there is in this church a beautiful shrine and relic in honor of Saint Rita — patroness of impossible causes. Never give up hope!

Unite the Clans – is it just a call for a great big ecumenical group hug? Or is there more to it? Despite decades of bitter intermural squabbling, can we get out of the way long enough to the let the old Faith unite us in battle against those who would crush us all? The Modernist hierarchy of the Church divided us all. Will we stand by and let them conquer us, too?

Cardinal Delivers Exorcism Prayer in St. Peter’s Basilica: Something else happened yesterday at the Summorum Pontificum Traditional Latin Mass in the Basilica of St Peter (October 25, 2025) that strikes me as significant. Among the well-known prelates in attendance at the Latin Mass celebrated by His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke was the renowned exorcist, Cardinal Ernest Simoni Troshani, who at 97 years of age stood at the pulpit and positively thundered an Exorcism prayer composed by Pope Leo XIII back in 1890. Who is Cardinal Simoni Troshani? Cardinal Simoni is an Albanian cardinal, born October 18, 1928, who according to his entry in the College of Cardinals Report, spent “eighteen years in jail at the hands of Albanian communists.” After having completed his seminary study clandestinely, he was ordained a priest on April 7, 1956. But on Christmas Eve 1963, after celebrating an “illegal” public Mass, Simoni was arrested and imprisoned. Initially, he was sentenced to death for offering the Mass (the TLM at that time), but the sentence was later commuted to twenty-five years of hard labor. During his years of imprisonment, Simoni endured “torture and harsh conditions, including work in mines and sewage canals.” Far from being intimidated by the threat of torture, he secretly celebrated the Latin Mass from memory and heard the confessions of his fellow prisoners. After his release in 1981, according to the College of Cardinals Report, Cardinal Simoni was still considered an “enemy of the people” and was thus forced to work in the Shkodrë sewers. Nevertheless, he continued to exercise his priestly ministry clandestinely until the fall of the communist regime in 1990. Fast-forward to present day. This heroic priest – once sentenced to death for celebrating the Mass – took part in yesterday’s Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage. From the sanctuary of the Altar of the Chair, His Eminence delivered an exorcism prayer composed by Pope Leo XIII on May 18, 1890. The prayer was composed after Pope Leo had overheard a conversation between God and the Devil, just after offering Mass, in which the Devil bragged that he could destroy the Church in one hundred years. Fearful for souls and for the life of the Church of which Leo was visible head, the Holy Father composed the Exorcism prayer, which was recommended by the Church whenever any acts of the Devil are suspected. Here is an excerpt from the Exorcism Prayer prayed yesterday in St. Peter’s: “Beseech the God of Peace to crush Satan under our feet, that he may no more be able to hold men captive and to harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that the mercies of the Lord may quickly come to our aid, that thou mayest seize the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan. . . We cast you out, every unclean spirit, every satanic power, every onslaught of the infernal adversary, every legion, every diabolical group and sect, in the name and by the power of our Lord Jesus + Christ.” Momentous things are happening, friends. This is a war between God and Satan, and many have only recently begun to understand the scope of it. So let us join this Holy War with the tools and the armor of God’s soldiers. Keep offering prayers of reparation and petition, that God will protect us and Holy Mother Church against the fires of Hell. Especially on this great Feast of Christ the King, let us offer prayers of thanksgiving for the good shepherds—the generals in this army—whom God, in His Providence, has seen fit to grant us. The mere existence of such men proves, once again, that God has not abandoned His Church.

Walking through a former abbey in France that's now a hotel. The buildings survived. The Faith didn't. Meanwhile, the Synodal Church keeps listening to everyone except the Catholics who left. At what point can we stop the infernal Synodal listening, and start fixing the problem? WATCH NOW: Catholic Twilight Zone: What the hell is wrong with the Synodal Church?

A Forgotten Monument to the Catholic Fallen— Remnant pilgrims pray the Litany of the Saints at the place where, in 1795, the Royal and Catholic Army experienced a crushing defeat when they were trapped on this island, after the promised English reinforcements never showed up by sea. Here the original traditional Catholics were treated like criminals for their fidelity to altar and throne. Some two thousand Vendeans and Chouans were executed or starved to death as an example of what happens to Catholics who resist the “Enlightenment’s” promise of “liberty, equality, and fraternity.” Today, with the world on the verge of global war against the Kingship of Christ, let us never forget the original traditional Catholics who gave their lives for Christ the King — trying to prevent the New World Order of antichrist.

I would like the Pope, James Martin, SJ and the rest of the synodal fathers and “mothers” to reflect on the scandal they’ve unleashed on the little ones who still bother to practice the Catholic Faith. This was my daughter’s first visit to the Basilica of St. Peter, and she was confronted, literally, by “F*ck the Rules.” How telling, since we have contended from the beginning of the synodal era that the endgame is indeed to “eff the rules” of God and nature by blessing and approving sodomitical relations. God help us all.

Already the rumor of white smoke by noon on day one of the conclave has been dispelled. This could bode well for the outcome, as a tug-of-war is now engaged between the moderate/conservative blocks vs the liberal ones. Those in the position to know say that numerically, there’s enough of a block of conservative/moderates at this conclave to prevent the slam dunk election of a Francis II or worse. Time will tell. Keep praying!!

ICE in MINNEAPOLIS: Minnesota Catholic Priest (TLM) Speaks Out Perhaps the most important message out of chaotic Minnesota in months. A Catholic (diocesan) priest, who also offers the Latin Mass, reminds us of the thing that matters most in a moment of darkness and violence like this. If you are deeply concerned, as I am, about the future of our country, please watch and share this powerful sermon by Father Robert Altier the day after the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Cardinal Raymond Burke leads 5,000 in singing the Christus Vincit, after offering Mass in St Peter's Basilica. As he departed the sanctuary, he broke ranks in order to greet his old friend Cardinal Walter Brandmüller. And so the two surviving Dubia cardinals greet each other in joy as the Latin Mass returns to St. Peter's Basilica.
