    wow this is shocking, so a traditional Catholic actually canceled his or her subscription because he or she trusts a Communist group called Southern Poverty Law Center?

Just as with the false Chancellorsville/American history narratives, the country is being destroyed along with faithful Catholic Americans. Undoubtedly this is no coincidence, any more than private Catholic prophecy wherein America is not even represented in the end time wars. America is not now and will not be America as we knew her, any more than the Catholic Church (ie the Vatican) is not now traditionally Catholic. God help me but I'm almost glad I'll probably not live to see the end.

    I guess the entire Catholic Church, prior to V2 was a hate group.

      That's precisely what this is all about. As far as the SPLC is concerned, Traditionalists represent 2000 years of Catholic 'hate'. This is just vile Christophobia in action.

“Today I learned that The Remnant is listed among Minnesota's hate groups, compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center for every state of the nation. Today I make my request [to cancel The Remnant subscription] more urgently because there is no place for hate in my life. Please see to it that I no longer receive it. Feel free to pass this along to Michael Matt. Thank you.”

If whoever wrote this is that clueless, hope for them has been extinguished by their own free will.

    My wife and I just finished watching, "I'm Not Ashamed," the story of the two Neo-Nazis Columbine High School haters. Unfortunately, the events of Charlottesville show us that our country is still full of hate.

    Not hate perhaps, but rather an ignorance beyond compare! These Antifa and other leftists(Marxists) are irrational and 'know not what they are doing'. Communism is iconoclastic. "Where Utopians are in charge, expect tyranny." (from the book, "Crimes of the Educators" by Samuel Blumenfeld & Alex Newman.)

Being a traditionalist Catholic on the SPLC hate-list could soon be a badge of honour, which lesser organisations like our own Immaculata Pathology can only aspire to achieve one day - if we can hold steadfastly to the traditional Catholic Faith for as long as the Remnant!

If the verdict by SPLC concerning The Remnant were placed squarely before Pope Francis and he were asked, point-blank, to repudiate their findings, I have no confidence whatsoever he would in any way disagree. In fact, I can see him wearily moving his head back and forth, saying it saddened him to admit, but the opinion of SPLC was accurate.

The SPLC, never-Trumpers, Confederate statue-destroyers and all of their ilk are--plainly and simply--the Taliban in America. Makes one wonder why we are fighting the Taliban--at immense costs in life and treasure--on the other side of the world. Clearly, they are entrenched practically on our doorsteps.

    I am a Jewish convert to Catholicism. (Traditional Catholicism, not the twisted, political mess Pope Francis espouses.). On my mantel are photographs of the family members I lost in the Holocaust. This article linking The Remnant to white supremacists is ridiculous! Their source is the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map. I have subscribed to The Remnant for 15 years. It is my most trusted source about what is going on in the Catholic Church. I have never seen anything in this publication but intelligent commentary, and the love of God and our fellow man.

      I am a convert from Protestantism. However it happened, once I finally attended the TLM, I knew I had to convert. And at the same time all my Protestant objections to the Virgin Mary simply vanished.

      And one thing I know from all that is that the Mother of God cannot be more pleased than when a Jewish woman answers the call to follow Christ. Likewise, Satan hates it like the Devil.

      Jorge Bergoglio seems to on the side of Satan and the SPLC in not wanting Jewish women to hear the Mother of God and follow Christ.

Just want to say, "Mr, Matt, what a beautiful family you have. You have been blessed." God bless you for all you do. Thank you!

    Martin Niemöller wrote in his famous poem about the Nazis:

    "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Socialist.
    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    I guess for a lot of people, it might be appropriate to paraphrase the first line of the poem this way:

    "First they came for The Remnant, but I wasn't a staff member of the Remnant, so I did not speak out...."

      “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

It's interesting watching the main stream media nowadays. I watch the ABC news every morning and it's completely obvious that a script is written and followed by the anchors, the on-site reporters, and their regular liberal commentators. The dialogue just flows too seamlessly between everyone. Many times the same quip or phrase is shared by the anchors and the reporters, even though the reporters are scattered around the country. The whole thing is like a soap opera script and the news people are actors who memorize their lines - all geared towards the narrative they wish to push on that day.

All these fun and games by antifa and the openly violent Left have drawn lines and helped people become more open. If I thought Mark Shea was a bit nutty as a bleeding heart liberal two years ago, now I say he has revealed how deeply defined by Leftist cant and Leftist hatreds he is.

And he dearly loves Jorge Bergoglio and all his works.

A Catholic newspaper operation is now an "active hate group?" Wow, we are quickly heading for very dark times.

    I was condemned by the Southern Poverty Law Center, complete with blurry photograph. I consider SPLC's laughable expose of me to be a résumé builder. But what this local TV station and its hack reporter did to Mike Matt and his family is disgraceful. Without even a qualm of conscience, they put the Matts in the cross-hairs of the same sort of nutcases who are writhing in demonic agony over Trump's election.

      Too right! While having a bit of a laugh at the silly SPLC hate-mongers, we should spare a few prayers for the Matt family, who now find themselves in the line of fire, thanks to some WACCO fake-news reporter. I lived in Seattle for a while and so am very familiar with the nutcases to whom you refer. While in Seattle, I did a bit of work for the King County Medical Examiner when Gary Ridgway, the Green River killer was still on the loose - murdering scores of young women in his best effort to "clean up America." Some badly brainwashed liberal lunatic could potentially use similar twisted logic to gun-down the Matt family - all the while believing he's helping to "clean up America!" Never underestimate what sick, perverted minds are capable of concocting in our anti-Christian modern era.

Calling the Remnant or the family behind it a hate group is so beyond the realm of the absurd as to totally cement the notion that Morris Dees and his cash cow at SPLC are from the realm of Mordor and Sauron (Lord of the Rings, folks).

Southern Poverty Law Center - what a farce of a misnomer. Dees is as remote to poverty as is Soros & Co. He's not even remotely a nazi type, because the nazi crowd are at least nationalists. No, Dees and SPLC are Communist to the core - everything American must be destroyed.

Interesting how Communism and Islam have so much in common, except Communism never tried to pass itself off as a religion.
