The Pope & Pachamama, War in the Holy Land, and Bishop Schneider on the SSPX

In this episode of The Remnant Underground, Michael Matt takes a look at the Holy Week news. As Catholics in Lebanon open their churches to Muslims fleeing Israeli missiles, Ephraim – the last fully Christian village in the Holy Land – comes under brutal attack.

Just when you thought it was over, Pope Leo calls on French bishops to find a solution for Latin Mass Catholics. But what does it mean, and what does it have to do with the upcoming SSPX episcopal consecrations?

A disturbing new study shows that in 2026, 15,000 Christian churches will close in the United States alone. This includes many Catholic churches, as well. So, wouldn’t now be a good time for the Vatican to scrap Traditionis Custodes?

Plus, photos of Father Robert Prevost show the future pontiff taking part in a Pachamama ceremony thirty years ago, just seven years after Pope John Paul had spoken approvingly of Pachamama down in Bolivia. Now, what?

Finally, in a new interview Bishop Athanasius Schneider speaks out on the SSPX consecrations, obedience, and the state of emergency in the Catholic Church – is it schism, or is it something else?
