The Remnant claims to adhere to Catholic teaching in every aspect of its journalism.

After producing daily video updates from Rome after the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the conclave which ultimately elected Pope Francis, The Remnant began producing video commentary and events coverage under the title of Remnant TV. Remnant TV releases weekly talk show-styled YouTube videos in three series: Remnant TV Forum, Remnant Special Report, and The Remnant Underground. Michael Matt is the host and principal commentator; regular guests include contributors to The Remnant, and other Catholic commentators.[2]
The Remnant has also hosted and organized tours and pilgrimages to the Holy Land and throughout Europe under the name "Remnant Tours". It has also organized the United States Chapter of the three-day Pilgrimage to Chartres, a seventy-mile walking pilgrimage from Paris to Chartres Cathedral done during Pentecost weekend.[3]
Positions
Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong has described The Remnant as "radical Catholic reactionary."[4][5]
The Southern Poverty Law Center have listed The Remnant and The Remnant Press as a Radical Traditionalist Catholic hate group, which the SPLC defines as "organizations that embrace anti-Semitism and whose theology is typically rejected by the Vatican and mainstream Catholics in general."[6][7] The editors reject this label.[8]
