The Remnant en español

The Remnant newspaper is launching an attempt to get the Latin back into Latin America.  Mike Matt, editor of the paper, announces here that articles will be translated into Spanish.

For younger readers of this blog who may not subscribe to or read print editions, the Remnant (full disclosure, I also occasionally write for it) is a traditional Catholic fortnightly founded in 1967.  The Wanderer newspaper (run by the Matt family) supported the post-Vatican II changes to the Mass, so Walter Matt created the Remnant to support the traditional Latin Mass and sacraments.  Perhaps its most famous correspondent was Michael Davies, who wrote dozens of articles for the paper.  Many other writers -- including several priests -- still write high-quality pieces focusing on liturgy, music, culture and tradition.

Like handmissals for Spanish-speaking traditional Catholics, this is a significant step in reaching out to the largest language group in the Roman Catholic Church.
