The Crucifix Controversy Exposes the Conciliar Church’s Betrayal of Catholic Symbolism

EWTN News portal reports that Rep. Greg Steube, R-Florida, is urging the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to add the crucifix — a cross bearing the body of Christ — to its list of acceptable emblems for veteran headstones at national cemeteries. The article notes that nearly 50 lawmakers, including 42 Republicans and three Democrats, signed a letter requesting this change, arguing that while symbols for atheists, humanists, Wiccans, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus are permitted, the crucifix — representing the faith of nearly 20% of all veterans — is conspicuously absent. The article quotes “Archbishop” Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, expressing support for the measure. The VA has the authority to add emblems administratively, or lawmakers could introduce legislation if the agency does not act. This seemingly innocuous request for a Catholic symbol on headstones is, upon deeper examination, a revealing symptom of the post-conciliar Church’s systematic abandonment of the crucifix as the supreme sign of Catholic identity, and the complicity of its “clergy” in that betrayal.

Leo XIV’s African Pilgrimage: A Parade of Apostasy Disguised as Pastoral Care

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register, reporting on behalf of Catholic News Agency, presents a photo gallery documenting the early days of Leo XIV’s apostolic journey to Africa, specifically his stops in Algeria and Cameroon between April 15, 2026. The article chronicles the usurper’s meetings with Catholic children, religious sisters, and heads of state, including Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and Cameroonian President Paul Biya. The tone is celebratory, portraying the journey as a pastoral success and a continuation of the conciliar church’s global outreach. This report, however, is a masterclass in omission, presenting a sanitized image of a man who occupies the Chair of Peter without the faith of Peter, engaging in activities that, when viewed through the lens of integral Catholic doctrine, reveal a profound betrayal of the Church’s divine mission. The entire spectacle is a testament to the triumph of naturalistic humanism over the supernatural mandate of the true Church.

Historic Wisconsin Parish Loses Roof: A Call to Reflect on the True State of the Church

EWTN News reports that St. Joseph Catholic Church in East Bristol, Wisconsin, a parish with over 130 years of history, suffered catastrophic damage to its roof during a severe weather outbreak on April 14, 2026. Approximately half the roof was destroyed by strong storms and a possible tornado, leaving the church’s interior, including the altar area, exposed to the elements. The Diocese of Madison has expressed its “heartbreak” and called for prayers as it assesses the damage. While the physical destruction of a church building is a distressing event for any community, a deeper reflection reveals a more profound spiritual devastation that has been unfolding within the structures occupying the Vatican for decades, a devastation far more destructive than any natural disaster.

Bible Aloud Event Exposes the Bankruptcy of Americanist Religion

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

National Catholic Register portal reports that nearly 500 “faith leaders” — including actors, politicians, and self-styled Catholic advocates — will gather in Washington, D.C., to read the King James Version aloud at the Museum of the Bible, in a weeklong spectacle dubbed “America Reads the Bible,” timed to coincide with the nation’s 250th anniversary. The event, organized by the Protestant evangelical group Christians Engaged and featuring Catholic figures such as Marco Rubio, Sean Duffy, Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, Patricia Heaton, and CatholicVote president Kelsey Reinhardt, is presented as a “spiritual celebration of our nation’s founding ideals.” This grotesque pageant is not a Catholic act of worship but a suffocating synthesis of Americanism, indifferentism, and the worship of the democratic state — a textbook example of the very errors Pope Leo XIII condemned in *Testem Benevolentiae* and which the *Syllabus of Errors* anathematized over a century and a half ago.

The Usurper’s African Pilgrimage: A Parade of Empty Gestures and Modernist Apostasy

EWTN News reports on the continuation of the usurper Robert Prevost’s — who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV” — so-called “papal trip” through Algeria and Cameroon, April 15, 2026. The article documents a series of photo opportunities: the man greets children at a kindergarten run by the Missionary Sisters of Charity, shakes hands with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, boards an airplane, arrives in Yaoundé, meets with Cameroon President Paul Biya, addresses “clergy and Cameroonian officials,” and visits an orphanage where children “pray with” him. The piece is presented as straightforward news coverage of the “Holy Father’s” first “apostolic journey” to Africa, scheduled to continue through Angola and Equatorial Guinea until April 23. What is presented as a pastoral visit is, in reality, a diplomatic tour by a usurper occupying the Vatican — a man who exercises no legitimate authority, who propagates the apostasy of Vatican II, and whose entire itinerary is a masterclass in the reduction of the Catholic Church’s supernatural mission to naturalistic humanitarianism and political theater.

Leo XIV in Africa: Building Bridges to Nowhere, Promoting a Godless Peace

VaticanNews portal reports on the third day of the apostolic journey of the usurper Robert Prevost, known as “Pope” Leo XIV, during his visit to Algeria and Cameroon on April 15, 2026. The article describes his travels, meetings with civil authorities, a visit to an orphanage, and a private meeting with the “Bishops” of Cameroon. The tone is overwhelmingly positive, focusing on “dialogue,” “peace,” and “women’s rights.” The cited article relates a series of public relations events orchestrated by the conciliar sect to project an image of global relevance and moral authority, while completely omitting the supernatural mission of the Church and the absolute necessity of the Social Reign of Christ the King.

Bishop Báez’s Wounds of Nicaragua: A Modernist Homily Devoid of Catholic Truth

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports on a homily delivered by exiled Nicaraguan Bishop Silvio Báez at St. Agatha Church in Miami on April 12, 2026. Speaking amid the persecution of the Catholic Church by the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship, Báez denounced the regime’s “false peace” imposed through fear and weapons. He reflected on the risen Christ’s wounds, stating that the wounds of the Nicaraguan people “will be scars healed by the love of God — wounds glorious forever, wounds of love destined for eternity.” The bishop called the faithful to be “builders of true peace” that “springs from justice, is lived out in freedom, and bears the fruit of reconciliation,” expressing hope that mercy would make believers “mature” and capable of healing others’ wounds. While the suffering of Nicaraguan Catholics under a tyrannical regime is real and deserving of authentic Catholic solidarity, Báez’s homily exemplifies the theological bankruptcy of post-conciliar pastoral discourse: it reduces the Church’s message to naturalistic humanism, omits the supernatural order entirely, and substitutes the language of secular peacebuilding for the uncompromising demands of Christ the King.

Bible Reading as National Ritual: When Scripture Replaces the Sacraments

EWTN News reports that nearly 500 “faith leaders,” including U.S. President Donald Trump, will gather in Washington, D.C., from April 19–25, 2026, to read the entire King James Version of the Bible aloud at the Museum of the Bible, in an event called “America Reads the Bible,” organized by the group Christians Engaged and timed to coincide with the nation’s 250th anniversary. The event will feature Catholic speakers such as author Allan Wright, CatholicVote president Kelsey Reinhardt, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, actress Patricia Heaton, and others, alongside Protestant, evangelical, and “Christian nationalist” figures. The organizers describe the event as “a spiritual celebration of our nation’s founding ideals and a call to rediscover the truth that still anchors us today,” inspired by the book of Ezra’s public reading of Scripture. President Trump himself read from 2 Chronicles on April 21, declaring that “in every generation, through every trial and triumph, God’s Word has guided our people and our country to new heights.”

This event, draped in the language of spiritual renewal and national repentance, is in reality a textbook manifestation of the very errors the Church has condemned for centuries: the reduction of religion to a naturalistic, civic exercise; the erasure of the distinction between the true religion and false worship; and the substitution of the Church’s supernatural mission with a Protestant-tinged, democratic spectacle that serves the agenda of the post-conciliar apostasy.

Faith-Based Investing: A Catholic Voice in the Marketplace of Moral Compromise

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register portal reports on the growing trend of “faith-based investing,” where financial advisors help clients align their portfolios with Catholic moral principles. The article highlights how corporations have adopted “woke” and “radically anti-Catholic” stances, supporting causes like abortion and transgenderism. It promotes the use of “faith-based funds” and “shareholder pressure” to influence corporate behavior, suggesting that Catholics can now “make a difference” and “defund” companies engaging in immoral activities. While the article acknowledges some improvements in 2025, it emphasizes the need for continued vigilance and active engagement in the financial world to uphold Catholic values. This seemingly prudent approach, however, subtly reinforces the very modernist errors it seeks to combat, offering a naturalistic solution to a spiritual crisis and failing to address the root causes of societal decay.
