Archbishop Wenski’s Plea for Federal Funds Exposes the Conciliar Church’s Subservience to Secular Power

The National Catholic Register reports that Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami held a press conference on April 15, 2026, urging the U.S. government to reconsider the cancellation of an $11 million federal contract with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami. The contract funded the Unaccompanied Minors Program, which has operated since 1960 and traces its origins to Operation Pedro Pan, which resettled approximately 14,000 Cuban children fleeing the Castro regime. Wenski called the decision “baffling,” arguing that Catholic Charities’ “track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched” and that the program would be “hard-pressed to replicate.” Florida Republican Representatives María Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez also issued a letter urging reconsideration, warning of potential future migration from Cuba and Haiti. Peter Routsis-Arroyo, executive director of Catholic Charities, stated the organization received no warning and is seeking a 90-day extension. The article presents the funding cut as a humanitarian crisis, with Wenski and others appealing to the government’s sense of pragmatism and compassion. This entire episode lays bare the theological bankruptcy of the post-conciliar institution: a so-called “archbishop” of the conciliar sect, occupying a once-Catholic see, groveling before a secular government for funds to sustain a program that, however superficially charitable, operates within a framework utterly divorced from the supernatural mission of the true Church of Christ.

The Neo-Church’s “Search for Truth” Without Christ the King Is a Descent Into Relativism

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that on April 17, 2026, the antipope Leo XIV addressed students at the Catholic Academic Institution of Central Africa (UCAC) in Yaoundé, Cameroon, encouraging them in a “common search for truth” and inviting them to pioneer “a new humanism in the context of the digital revolution.” The event, attended by 8,000 people, also featured the inauguration of a square named after St. Augustine and plans for a “Leo XIV Catholic University Center.” The antipope quoted the heretic John Henry Newman and Francis’ encyclical Lumen Fidei, warning about artificial intelligence and calling for “humanistic formation.” This address perfectly encapsulates the post-conciliar apostasy: a “search for truth” deliberately severed from the social reign of Christ the King, the unchanging Magisterium, and the supernatural order, reducing the Faith to a vague humanism compatible with any ideology.

Eucharistic Procession at the Angelicum: A Spectacle Masking Doctrinal Bankruptcy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News Vatican Bureau reports that on April 16, 2026, the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the “Angelicum”) in Rome celebrated 25 years of student-led Eucharistic adoration with a solemn procession led by Cardinal Dominique Mamberti, prefect of the Apostolic Signatura. The article highlights the participation of students and faculty, quoting Mamberti on the Real Presence and referencing the soon-to-be Blessed Fulton Sheen. Dominican Father Thomas Joseph White, rector of the Angelicum, described the event as indicative of a “revival among the young,” linking it to the teachings of St. John Paul II and St. Thomas Aquinas. Students expressed appreciation for the opportunity to pray before the Eucharist between classes. What appears on the surface as a pious celebration is, upon closer examination, a carefully orchestrated spectacle that masks the profound theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the post-conciliar structures occupying the Vatican.

Coast Guard Religious Accommodation Settlement: A Naturalist Compromise Masking Deeper Apostasy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that the U.S. Coast Guard has agreed to a settlement with the Thomas More Society, committing to “individualized reviews” of religious accommodation requests, mandatory religious liberty training for leadership, and public reporting of accommodation data. The lawsuit, filed in 2022, alleged that the Coast Guard “categorically denied virtually all religious accommodation requests” related to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate. While the mandate has since been rescinded, the settlement is presented as a “model for every branch of the military.” The primary plaintiffs—Lts. Alaric Stone and Mack Marcenelle, and Boatswain’s Mate First Class Eric Jackson—were “wrongly accused of violating lawful orders,” according to Marcenelle. The government will pay $750,000 in attorney’s fees. This settlement, framed as a victory for religious liberty, is in fact a naturalist compromise that fails to address the deeper apostasy within the military and the post-conciliar Church, revealing the conciliar sect’s inability to uphold the absolute primacy of God’s laws over human decrees.

The Persecution of Christians in Nigeria and the Illusions of “Religious Liberty”

EWTN News reports that on April 17, 2026, the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See and the group Solidarity with the Persecuted Church (SPC) organized a conference in Rome on threats to religious freedom in Nigeria. U.S. Ambassador Brian Burch described the situation as a “conflict between radical Islamic groups and Christians because of their faith,” calling it “intolerable.” He cited President Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a country of particular concern in 2025, stating that “Christians face an existential crisis in Nigeria.” Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu, secretary of the Dicastery for Evangelization, described the current papal trip to Africa as a moment of unity, noting that the pope’s message will also reach Nigeria. The article presents a narrative of Christian persecution and interfaith cooperation that, while touching on real suffering, fundamentally misdiagnoses the causes and solutions through the lens of modernist “religious liberty” rather than Catholic truth.

Papal Mosque Visits: The Abomination of False Fraternity with Unbelievers

EWTN News portal reports on the systematic practice of papal visits to Islamic mosques, a tradition initiated by the antipope John Paul II in 2001 and continued by every subsequent usurper, including Leo XIV’s recent visit to the Great Mosque of Algiers on April 13, 2026. The article attempts to justify these acts of religious syncretism through appeals to “peace,” “dialogue,” and the conciliar document Nostra Aetate, while ignoring the absolute condemnation of such interreligious fraternization by the perennial Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

The Usurper’s War and the Subversion of Catholic Moral Teaching: A Sedevacantist Critique

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports on a public dispute between Vice President JD Vance and the conciliar figurehead Leo XIV regarding the morality of the Iran war. Vance, while acknowledging the “pope’s” advocacy for peace, urged the Vatican to “stick to matters of morality” and “what’s going on in the Catholic Church,” leaving public policy to the U.S. government. Several Catholic theologians, including Joseph Capizzi, Taylor Patrick O’Neill, and Ron Bolster, correctly affirmed that war is a moral matter and the Church has a role in teaching on it. However, their entire framework operates within the false premise that Leo XIV is the true Pope and that the post-conciliar structures possess any authority to teach, a premise that nullifies their otherwise valid points and reveals the profound spiritual bankruptcy of the modernist church.

Archbishop Wenski’s Plea for Federal Funds Exposes the Conciliar Church’s Servile Dependence on Caesar

EWTN News portal reports that Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami held a press conference on April 15, 2026, urging the U.S. government to reconsider the cancellation of an $11 million federal contract with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami. The contract funded the Unaccompanied Minors Program, which has operated since 1960, beginning with Operation Pedro Pan that resettled approximately 14,000 Cuban children fleeing the Castro regime. Wenski called the decision “baffling,” arguing that Catholic Charities’ “track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched” and that the program “would be hard-pressed to replicate at the level of competence and excellence” achieved by the organization. Peter Routsis-Arroyo, executive director of Catholic Charities, stated the organization received no warning and was negotiating a new budget up to the time of cancellation. The abrupt termination threatens to shut down services within three months, affecting the Msgr. Bryan O. Walsh Children’s Village, which can house up to 81 children. Republican Reps. María Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez also issued a letter urging reconsideration, warning that losing this capacity will make future migration responses “more costly, slower, and less effective.” This episode lays bare the fundamental bankruptcy of the post-conciliar church’s relationship with secular powers: rather than proclaiming the immutable rights of Christ the King over all nations and demanding that governments fulfill their divine obligations, Wenski and his associates grovel before Caesar, begging for the restoration of funds to maintain a program that, however materially beneficial, operates within a framework that systematically ignores the supernatural destiny of souls and the Church’s exclusive mission to lead men to eternal salvation.
