St. John’s Gospel Distorted by Modernist Minimalism
The National Catholic Register portal (December 27, 2025) presents a biographical sketch of St. John the Evangelist, noting his inclusion in Christ’s inner circle, his designation as the “beloved disciple,” and his traditional association with Ephesus and the fourth Gospel. The article acknowledges his unique theological perspective while cautiously attributing Johannine authorship to Revelation and the epistles with qualifiers like “many claim” and “probable.” It concludes with standard hagiographical details about his patronage and a ruined Ephesian basilica allegedly once housing his relics.
