EWTN News reports that the Augustinian community in Spain eagerly awaits the visit of Robert Prevost, the individual occupying the Vatican under the name Leo XIV, scheduled for June. The article celebrates this “pontificate” and details the organizational efforts of various Augustinian subgroups to welcome him, framing the event as a moment of joy and spiritual significance for the “Augustinian family.”
National Catholic Register portal reports that Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), has revealed further details of an upcoming document on the “transmission of the faith” in an interview with Religión Confidencial. The document, drawing on global consultation with episcopal conferences and experts, purports to address the breakdown of intergenerational faith transmission, the need for “attractive” evangelization, and the role of liturgy. Yet beneath this ostensibly pastoral concern lies yet another instrument of the conciliar revolution, designed not to restore the immutable deposit of faith but to further entrench the very modernist errors that caused the crisis in the first place. The document’s reliance on the apostate framework of Evangelii Gaudium, its embrace of inculturation, and its reduction of the Gospel to a subjective “experience” reveal it as a continuation of the systematic destruction of Catholic doctrine inaugurated by the Second Vatican Council and perpetuated under the antipopes from John XXIII through Leo XIV.
The National Catholic Register, citing ACI Prensa and EWTN News, reports on an interview given by Father Edgard Rimaycuna, personal secretary to the individual occupying the Vatican, Robert Prevost, who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV.” The article presents a portrait of a man allegedly centered on prayer, silence, and seeking God, with a spirituality influenced by St. Augustine. It details his daily routine of “holy Mass,” the Liturgy of the Hours, and the rosary, and describes his governance style as patient, bridge-building, and focused on dialogue and peace. The article concludes with a request for prayers for this “Holy Father.” This saccharine portrait, however, when viewed through the lens of unchanging Catholic truth, reveals not a shepherd of souls, but a figurehead of the conciliar sect, whose very claim to the papacy is null and void, and whose “prayer” and “governance” are but the fruits of the modernist apostasy that has laid waste to the Church. The entire narrative is a carefully constructed piece of propaganda designed to lend an aura of sanctity to an illegitimate occupant of Peter’s throne, thereby perpetuating the greatest deception in the history of Christianity.
EWTN News reports that Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is partnering with Caritas medical centers across seven Catholic dioceses, along with the Democratic Republic of the Congo Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization, to combat an Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. Rafaramalala Volanarisoa, head of office for CRS in the DRC, told EWTN News that the crisis is severe, with scarce resources, regional conflict, and misinformation complicating containment efforts, estimating the cost to stop the spread at around $3 million. The article presents a purely naturalistic, humanitarian response to a devastating disease, entirely devoid of any supernatural framework—no mention of prayer, sacraments, the moral order, or the ultimate causes of suffering—revealing the complete capitulation of these organizations to secular humanitarianism and the abandonment of the integral Catholic mission.
The Pillar portal reports on May 19, 2026, about the accelerating institutional rot within the conciliar sect, touching on episcopal dysfunction, Catholic university anxieties over demographic decline, the continued normalization of antipope Leo XIV’s travels, Russian Orthodox identity erosion, and the German bishops’ loss of their synodal majority. Each item, examined under the unchanging light of Catholic doctrine, reveals not mere administrative growing pains but the organic fruits of the Modernist apostasy inaugurated at Vatican II.
EWTN News reports on an interview given by Father Edgard Rimaycuna, personal secretary to the usurper Robert Prevost (who styles himself “Leo XIV”), detailing the latter’s purported prayer life and governance style. The secretary presents the occupant of the Vatican as a man of deep prayer, silence, and Augustinian spirituality, who “seeks God within himself,” listens before deciding, avoids confrontation, and works tirelessly for peace amid global wars. This portrait, while superficially pious, collapses upon even elementary scrutiny against the immutable Catholic faith, revealing not a father of Christendom but a manager of apostasy, whose “prayer” is the silence of Judas at the Last Supper and whose “peace” is the betrayal of Christ the King.
The National Catholic Register, a portal long since captured by the conciliar sect’s narrative machinery, reports on the Italian rock band “The Sun” and their organized pilgrimage to Jordan. The article, dripping with the sentimentalism characteristic of post-conciliar Catholic media, presents Francesco Lorenzi — a former punk rocker turned “Catholic musician” — as a model of authentic Christian witness. What the article actually reveals, upon even cursory examination through the lens of integral Catholic theology, is not a story of conversion but a case study in how the conciliar revolution has reduced the Faith to aesthetic experience, emotional tourism, and the cult of personality — all while the abomination of desolation occupies the Vatican and the true Church is driven into the catacombs.
The Pillar Catholic portal reports on a new Vatican synod department document, “Towards the Assemblies 2027-2028,” issued May 20, 2026, which details preparations for a 2028 “ecclesial assembly” in Rome. The document, approved by the antipope Leo XIV, outlines a four-stage process of “Recollecting,” “Interpreting,” “Orienting,” and “Celebrating” — a continuation of the global synodal process launched by the heretic Francis in 2021. Cardinal Mario Grech, secretary general of the Synod of Bishops, presented the text following a meeting with Leo XIV. The process involves local “evaluation assemblies,” national bishops’ conference assemblies, continental assemblies, culminating in a Rome gathering that is carefully distinguished from a synod yet mirrors its structures. The document emphasizes that synodality is “a way of being” and stresses the “Holy Father’s” determinative role, with the assembly’s conclusions “offered to the Holy Father as the fruit of the process of discernment.” This entire apparatus represents nothing less than the institutionalization of permanent revolution within the conciliar sect, a mechanism designed to ensure that the apostasy initiated by John XXIII can never be reversed, questioned, or subjected to the immutable criteria of Catholic truth.
The Pillar reports that Pope Leo XIV’s upcoming visit to Spain for a youth prayer vigil will notably lack confessionals, instead offering “listening centers” staffed by lay “listening agents” for young people. While the Archdiocese of Madrid claims these centers do not replace the sacrament of confession but serve as a “complement,” the absence of dedicated confessionals at a papal event—a stark contrast to previous World Youth Days—reveals a disturbing pattern: the systematic marginalization of the Sacrament of Penance in favor of secularized pastoral care, effectively downplaying the necessity of sacramental confession for the forgiveness of sins and the salvation of souls.
EWTN News portal reports on the journey of Scott Borba, founder of e.l.f. Cosmetics, who left his fortune to become a deacon and soon-to-be “priest” in the Diocese of Fresno, California. The article presents his story as a model of conversion and vocational response, complete with the expected narrative of worldly emptiness and spiritual fulfillment. Yet beneath the veneer of a heartwarming tale lies a profound illustration of the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the post-conciliar sect, where even a “conversion” serves only to reinforce the structures of apostasy.
