Catholic Family News

[paterpetri]

Can anyone tell me if Catholic Family News is a trustowrthy publication? Are they loyal to the magisterium or on the “rad trad” fringe?

PP,

I had seen it before, and it appears to be at least close to the far right. There are articles against ecumenism, and declaring that Russia has not been consecrated, etc. I think many here (I for one) would find CFN “out there”.

The Catholic Family News is very good for practing your left click, back button dexterity on the computer. Other than that, do not bother or waste your time reading it.
History:

In addition to Fátima Crusader, Fr. Gruner owns and publishes the Catholic Family News, which he acquired several years ago. Like the Remnant and several other small Catholic papers, Catholic Family News takes a critical view of the post-conciliar changes in the Church, especially in matters of the liturgy. With respect to the Tridentine Mass, it is not only preferred but the current Rite, while acknowledged as valid, is considered a complete innovation, departure from tradition and a disaster for the Church. In recent years CFN has also become very critical of the pontificate of Pope John Paul II in matters such as ecumenism and inter-religious dialogue. Again, it is not just the implementation of Vatican II in these areas, but the very direction the Council and the post-conciliar popes have taken. This criticism reached its zenith in 2000 with the publication of We Resist You to Your Face, the “You” being Pope John Paul II. Co-sponsors of this document include Catholic Family News and The Remnant, and traditionalist authors Marian Horvat and Atila Sinke Guimarães. This resistance is intended to restore the Traditional Catholic Faith, as they understand it, by resisting what they see as novelties and innovations in the governance of the Church since Vatican II and in particular under the present Pope.
