Polemic with Mr. Alphonse J. Matt, Jr.
on the book We Resist You to the Face


Brief Chronicle of Events

The reader can find the details of the origin of this polemic by visiting the item preceding this section that narrates the controversy with Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz. This page will transcribe only the articles of Mr. Al Matt against We Resist You to the Face, along with the principal refutations made in response.

June 22, 2000: "In Perspective" - The Wanderer published the article "In Perspective", by Mr. Alphonse Matt, Jr. The article launched the accusation of schism against the four authors of the Statement of Resistance. The actual words used by Mr. Matt in his accusation were these: "that its [the Statement’s] authors and supporters are on a schismatic trajectory that can only have tragic consequences."

August 10, 2000: "All Catholics Should be Traditionalists" - The Wanderer published the article "All Catholics Should be Traditionalists", by Mr. Alphonse Matt. In this article, the editor insisted once again on the accusation of schism against the authors of We Resist You to the Face.

On August 15, 2000: "Quicksand" & "Two Sides at the Same Table" - The Remnant published the article "Quicksand" by Mr. Atila Guimarães, and the article "Two Sides at the Same Table" by Dr. Marian Horvat. Both pieces presented refutations to the articles of Mr. Al Matt. The same article "Quicksand" was also published in Catholic Family News (September 2000) reflecting the tacit support of Mr. John Vennari for this work of defense..

August 31, 2000: "The Campaign Against We Resist You to the Face" The Remnant published the article "The Campaign Against We Resist You to the Face" by its editor, Mr. Michael Matt, in which heresponded to his cousin Mr. Al Matt, editor of The Wanderer.
