The Pillar Podcast’s “Bug”: A Case Study in Conciliar Complicity
The Pillar podcast, hosted by JD Flynn and Ed. Condon, announces a bonus episode titled “The Bug,” noting a scheduling adjustment. The podcast operates within the sphere of conservative Catholicism that acknowledges the post-conciliar hierarchy, including the current antipope “Leo XIV,” as legitimate. Its content consistently reflects the neo-Church’s emphasis on ecclesial diplomacy, naturalistic analysis of church affairs, and avoidance of any sedevacantist conclusion regarding the apostasy of the Vatican II hierarchy. This brief announcement, while seemingly trivial, is symptomatic of a deeper theological and spiritual bankruptcy: the normalization of the conciliar revolution and the silencing of the immutable Catholic faith.
