Personal Secretary Praises Antipope’s Unchanged Apostasy

Summary: The EWTN News article of April 1, 2026, features an interview with Father Edgard Iván Rimaycuna, personal secretary to the current occupier of the Vatican, “Pope Leo XIV.” Rimaycuna praises his superior’s unchanged personality—approachability, serenity, listening skills—and his Latin American warmth, framing his pontificate as a continuation of his Peruvian episcopate. The article presents this as a positive, focusing on human qualities and pastoral style while omitting any reference to doctrine, the supernatural, or the catastrophic state of the “Church” under his leadership. The thesis is clear: this piece glorifies the very apostasy that defines the post-conciliar sect, celebrating a man who, by manifest heresy, cannot hold the papacy and whose “service” advances the revolution against the Kingship of Christ.

The ‘I Thirst’ of Modernism: Denying Christ’s Kingship for Naturalistic Justice

The National Catholic Register publishes a meditation by Father Raymond J. de Souza on the Fifth Word from the Cross, “I thirst.” The article reinterprets this phrase through the lens of St. Teresa of Calcutta, claiming it expresses Jesus’s thirst for souls and links it to the Beatitudinal “hunger and thirst for righteousness.” It then pivots to a discussion of justice in politics, contrasting the “thirst for justice” with St. Augustine’s “libido dominandi” (lust for domination). The piece praises the new “Pope Leo XIV” as a “son of St. Augustine” and concludes with a call to adore Christ’s sacrifice, framed within a naturalistic political contest. The article’s core thesis is that “I thirst” primarily calls for a horizontal, societal pursuit of justice, defeating domination through Christ’s example, while omitting the supernatural, ecclesiological, and dogmatic dimensions of the Cross.

France’s Baptism Boom: The Conciliar Sect’s Statistical Delusion

The cited article from Pillar Catholic reports a record number of baptisms in France for 2026, with 21,386 catechumens baptized at the Easter Vigil, up from 17,788 in 2025. It details demographics, motivations (e.g., 40% prompted by challenging life experiences, 34% by questions about Christianity), and post-baptismal support initiatives. The article presents this as a “joyful development” and a sign of revival, quoting Archbishop Olivier de Germay of Lyon, who oversees the catechumenate for the French bishops, stating the Church’s challenge is to support catechumens to become “disciples” and “full-fledged members of parish communities.”

This statistical celebration, emanating from the post-conciliar ecclesiastical structure, is not a revival but a stark manifestation of the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the Modernist “Church of the New Advent.” The report’s focus on numbers, demographics, and subjective experiences, while omitting the supernatural essence of baptism, exposes a complete reduction of the sacramental economy to naturalistic sociology. More gravely, from the perspective of integral Catholic faith, every single baptism administered by the French bishops—who are in formal communion with the manifest heretic “Pope” Leo XIV—is null and void, rendering the entire “boom” a monumental act of spiritual deception, leading souls not to salvation but to the peril of eternal damnation.

Syrian Churches Abandon Public Easter in Face of Persecution

The article from the National Catholic Register (April 1, 2026) reports that following an attack on the Christian town of Al-Suqaylabiyah in Syria, the Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch and most other Churches in Syria announced the scaling back of Easter celebrations to “prayers inside churches only,” citing “the current discouraging circumstances.” The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch condemned the attack but framed its response in terms of “citizenship,” “integration,” and the state’s duty to provide security, while a U.N. report on broader violence, including against Druze civilians, is presented as contextual background.

This response is not a prudent pastoral measure but a spectacular manifestation of the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the post-conciliar “Church,” which has completely abandoned the Social Kingship of Christ and the duty of public confession of the Faith, reducing Christianity to a private, timid cult utterly subservient to the naturalistic principles of the world.
