Conciliar Sect’s Feminist Symposium Distorts Catholic Sexual Morality
Catholic News Agency reports on a January 2026 symposium titled “The Beauty of Truth: Navigating Society Today as a Catholic Woman” hosted by the Catholic Women’s and Gender Studies Program at the University of St. Thomas in Houston. Speakers including Mary Eberstadt and Erika Bachiochi addressed cultural confusion surrounding sexuality, attributing societal ills to contraception and the sexual revolution while framing Church teachings as a redemptive solution. The program operates under the Vatican’s Dicastery for Culture and Education — an organ of the conciliar sect that actively undermines extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church).
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Faith
The symposium reduces Catholic morality to sociological analysis rather than divine law. Eberstadt’s claim that “the sexual revolution subtracted the number of role models” ignores the primacy of sanctifying grace. Her assertion that “without an earthly father, it is hard to grasp the paradigm of a heavenly father” inverts theological order — natural paternity reflects divine truth (Ephesians 3:15), not vice versa. This echoes the modernist error condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili (1907): “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).
Contraception Critique Lacks Doctrinal Foundation
While denouncing contraception’s societal effects, speakers avoid citing Casti Connubii (1930), where Pius XI declared artificial birth control “intrinsically vicious” and “an offense against the law of God and of nature.” Eberstadt’s reduction of contraception to “arithmetic” problems obscures its intrinsic evil — a grave omission given Pius XII’s warning that contraception destroys “the primary purpose of matrimony as ordained by God” (Address to Midwives, 1951).
Gender Studies Program Embodies Conciliar Apostasy
The very existence of a “Catholic Women’s and Gender Studies Program” constitutes theological treason. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemned the notion that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). The term “gender studies” derives from John Money’s satanic gender ideology — yet the university legitimizes it under Vatican auspices. This implements the “evolution of dogma” heresy censured in Lamentabili (Proposition 22).
Psychologized Obedience Replaces Sacramental Life
Bachiochi’s testimony that “the gift of obedience” healed her maternal struggles exemplifies the neo-modernist substitution of therapeutic experience for sacramental grace. Nowhere does she mention confession’s role in overcoming sin or the necessity of Eucharistic devotion for perseverance. Pius X’s Pascendi (1907) exposed this tactic: Modernists “make experience the sole basis of faith both as to its legitimacy and as to its facts.”
Omission of Eschatological Reality
The symposium’s entire discourse occurs within a naturalistic framework devoid of supernatural urgency. No speaker references hell — the eternal consequence of sexual sin — or the Four Last Things. This silence violates Christ’s warning: “Fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis (1943) emphasizes that Church teachings exist “to lead the faithful to the summit of sanctity” for eternal salvation, not temporal comfort.
False Ecumenism in Secular Engagement
By framing Church teaching as an “antidote to cultural chaos” rather than the “one ark of salvation” (Pius IX, Singulari Quidem), the symposium implies parity between Catholic truth and secular ideologies. This embodies the religious indifferentism condemned in Quanta Cura (1864): “All who do not belong to the true Church are not on the way to eternal life and will not attain salvation.” The event’s collaboration with secular academia further violates Pius XI’s Divini Illius Magistri (1929), which forbids Catholic institutions from adopting “the spirit of secularism.”
Conclusion: Conciliar Sect’s War on Womanhood
This symposium epitomizes the neo-church’s destruction of authentic Catholic femininity. Rather than promoting the Virgin Mary’s humility and modesty, it fosters intellectualized activism divorced from sacramental life. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi, modernists “lay the axe not to the branches and shoots, but to the very root of faith” by replacing divine revelation with human experience. True Catholic women reject such poisoned chalices and cleave to the Regina Sacratissimi Rosarii — not gender theorists in conciliar disguises.
