The Jimmy Lai Case Exposes the Bankruptcy of “Human Rights” Without Christ the King

EWTN News reports that over 100 U.S. lawmakers have urged President Donald Trump to press Chinese President Xi Jinping for the release of Jimmy Lai, a Hong Kong media mogul and self-described “devout Catholic” sentenced to 20 years in prison on national security charges. The bipartisan letter, spearheaded by Rep. Chris Smith and Sen. Rick Scott, frames the appeal purely in terms of “humanitarian parole,” “deteriorating health,” and political prisoner status, while completely ignoring the supernatural destiny of the soul and the absolute primacy of the Catholic Church’s social kingship. This entire episode is a masterclass in naturalistic humanitarianism that reduces a soul’s suffering to a bargaining chip in geopolitical negotiations, revealing the utter spiritual bankruptcy of modern secular governance even when it claims to champion “freedom.”

Bishop’s Plea for Ethiopian Youths Exposes the Bankruptcy of Conciliar Diplomacy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that Bishop Tesfasellassie Medhin of the Catholic Eparchy of Adigrat in Ethiopia has appealed to the international community to halt the planned execution of 200 Ethiopian nationals in Saudi Arabia. The bishop’s plea, framed in the language of “human dignity” and “rehabilitation,” is a textbook example of the post-conciliar Church’s retreat from supernatural mission to naturalistic humanitarianism. Rather than proclaiming the eternal truths of faith and the absolute sovereignty of Christ the King over all nations, the bishop resorts to the hollow rhetoric of secular diplomacy, revealing the spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar sect.

Digital Missionary School: The Conciliar Sect’s Statistical Gospel Without the Cross

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The EWTN News portal reports that the Colombian Bishops’ Conference, a branch of the post-conciliar conciliar sect, launched a “Digital Missionaries School” last weekend. The initiative, involving nearly 500 live participants and over 1,400 registrants for recorded content, aims to train “missionaries” for the “digital continent” through seven monthly sessions culminating in an in-person gathering in Cali. The launch featured “Bishop” Juan Carlos Cárdenas Toro, “Bishop” Dimas Acuña, and Monsignor Lucio Adrián Ruiz from the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication. Ruiz emphasized that digital mission is “not merely techniques or strategies” but “ecclesial presence,” while warning against reducing evangelization to metrics: “It’s not measured in followers but in communion, in encounter.” Father Álvaro Serrano Bayán added that “the mission does not depend on the algorithm but on prayer,” encouraging missionaries to keep alive the “inner fire” kindled by “prayer, community, and the Holy Spirit.” This initiative perfectly encapsulates the conciliar sect’s substitution of statistical, horizontal, and naturalistic activism for the supernatural mission of the true Church: converting souls to the Catholic Faith through the preaching of the Gospel, the administration of the sacraments, and the call to penance.

Strait of Hormuz Blockade Exposes the Bankruptcy of a World Without Christ the King

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

VaticanNews portal reports on the ongoing military and economic crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, where a US naval vessel implements a maritime blockade amid continued hostilities between the United States, Iran, and Israel. The article describes a fragile ceasefire, continued missile attacks from Iran against UAE targets, and catastrophic disruptions to global trade, with Danish shipping giant Maersk passing sharply higher costs onto customers. The strait, which normally carries approximately 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, has been effectively blockaded by Iran since late February, when US and Israeli forces began attacking Iranian targets. The article quotes Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc warning that even an immediate reopening would not resolve the backlog, and that insurers may continue classifying the area as high-risk, keeping freight rates elevated and energy markets tight. The entire report is framed in purely naturalistic, geopolitical terms — a telling omission that reveals the spiritual blindness of the conciliar sect’s media apparatus, which cannot or will not diagnose the true root cause of such conflicts: the public rejection of the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ by nations and their rulers.

A Pro-Life Nominee and the Secular State’s Contradictions on the Sanctity of Life

EWTN News portal reports on President Trump’s nomination of Dr. Nicole Saphier for surgeon general, highlighting her decision to keep her baby despite an unplanned teenage pregnancy, alongside legislative developments in Oklahoma and Kentucky concerning abortion and the legal status of unborn children. While the article celebrates these pro-life victories, it operates within a framework that implicitly accepts the legitimacy of secular governance over matters of life and death, failing to acknowledge the absolute sovereignty of Christ the King and the Church’s sole authority to define the moral order.

Taybeh’s Cry: When “Solidarity” Replaces Justice and the Faith Is Silent

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

Vatican News portal (May 9, 2026) reports on an interview with Ihab Hassan, a Palestinian Christian human rights activist, regarding ongoing Israeli settler violence against Palestinian Christians in the West Bank, particularly in Taybeh, and introduces a new initiative called “Save West Bank Christians.” The article details attacks, lack of accountability, and a plea for international solidarity. Yet, beneath the veneer of humanitarian concern, the article reveals a profound spiritual and moral bankruptcy, failing to articulate the unchanging Catholic principles of justice, the true nature of the Church’s mission, and the ultimate supernatural end of man.

War Zones Without Unbelievers: The Nuncio’s Testimony and the Silence on Apostasy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

National Catholic Register portal reports that Archbishop Visvaldas Kulbokas, the apostolic nuncio to Ukraine, described an extraordinary religious revival in Ukraine’s war zones during Russia’s ongoing invasion. In an interview with the Lithuanian magazine Kelionė, the nuncio recounted stories of military chaplains, soldiers seeking absolution over medical treatment, and claimed that in Kherson “there are no unbelievers left,” with the Catholic parish growing fivefold despite the civilian population dropping to one-fifth of its prewar size. This testimony, presented as evidence of grace amid suffering, demands rigorous examination against the unchanging Catholic faith, for the article’s omissions reveal a far graver spiritual crisis than any missile strike.

War as the New Evangelization: The Nuncio’s Testimony and the Silence of Doctrine

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News portal reports (May 9, 2026) that Archbishop Visvaldas Kulbokas, the Vatican’s apostolic nuncio to Ukraine, declared in an interview with the Lithuanian magazine Kelionė: “In Kherson, there are no unbelievers left.” The article presents the war in Ukraine as an engine of religious revival, citing growing Catholic parishes, conversions from Orthodoxy and Protestantism, and the heroic presence of chaplains on the front lines. Yet beneath this narrative of spiritual resurgence lies a profound silence—on doctrine, on the supernatural order, on the true nature of conversion, and on the apostasy festering within the very structures claiming to shepherd souls. This is not evangelization; it is the sacralization of suffering without truth.

The Usurper on Peter’s Throne Receives Haiti’s Prime Minister — A Diplomatic Charade Masking Spiritual Bankruptcy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

VaticanNews portal reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” received Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé in the Vatican on May 9, 2026. The meeting was followed by discussions with Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher at the Secretariat of State, described as “cordial,” focusing on the socio-political, humanitarian, migration, and security crises in Haiti. The entire spectacle is a textbook exercise in the post-conciliar substitution of supernatural mission with worldly diplomacy — the abomination of desolation occupying the Vatican reduces the Church of Christ to yet another NGO pleading for international aid.
