When “Pride” Becomes the State Religion: MLB’s Persecution of Christian Players and the Silence of a Compromised Clergy

The National Catholic Register (June 19, 2026) reports that the U.S. Department of Justice, under Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, has launched a federal investigation into Major League Baseball for alleged religious discrimination against San Francisco Giants players who inscribed Bible verses on their uniforms during the team’s “Pride Night” celebrations. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp and two relief pitchers wrote references to Genesis 9:12-16 — the passage in which God establishes the rainbow as a covenant sign with Noah — next to the Progress Pride Flag logo on their caps. The Giants issued a public apology, claiming the display “caused pain and anger to many in the LGBTQ+ community,” and the MLB issued an official warning citing a uniform policy prohibiting handwritten messages. The DOJ letter accuses the league of a “double standard,” noting that “Black Lives Matter” messages were previously permitted despite the same prohibition, and invokes the Civil Rights Act’s requirement that employers accommodate religious expression. The Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco, through spokesperson Peter Marlow, publicly supported the players, stating that “people of faith should not be compelled to hide or suppress their sincerely held religious convictions in public life” and that “respect should be a two-way street.” The article also references the Washington Nationals’ firing of Sean Hudson for noting that Catholic pitcher Trevor Williams was being excluded from promotional materials due to his faith, as well as the York Revolution minor league team forfeiting a game when players refused to wear pride-themed jerseys. The entire episode lays bare the diabolical inversion of our age: the rainbow, God’s sacred covenant sign, has been hijacked by the sodomite agenda, and those who dare to reclaim it for its true meaning are persecuted — while the conciliar “Church” offers nothing more than polite pleas for “two-way respect” in the face of escalating persecution.

The Antichurch’s “Martyrdom” Decrees: Canonizing the Religion of Man While the True Church Is in Ruins

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The article from the National Catholic Register (June 19, 2026) reports that the “Dicastery for the Causes of Saints” of the conciliar sect has recognized the “martyrdom” of Father Juan Torres and 19 other Spanish priests from the Diocese of Ibiza, killed during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. It also announces the recognition of the “heroic virtues” of a certain Sister Clara Andreu y Malferit. This entire operation is a classic exercise in building a counterfeit sanctity to serve the religion of man and the New Church.

The State Forces Nuns to Deny Reality: New York’s Transgender Tyranny Against the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The EWTN News portal reports that the U.S. Department of Justice has intervened in a lawsuit filed by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne against the state of New York, which is attempting to force their nursing home to accommodate biological males who claim a female gender identity. The sisters, who have provided free palliative care to indigent cancer patients for 125 years, face the revocation of their license if they refuse to comply with regulations mandating that they house transgender women in female wards, allow them access to female restrooms, and use preferred pronouns. The DOJ asserts that New York’s law violates the sisters’ First Amendment rights to free exercise of religion and equal protection. This case exposes the fundamental incompatibility between the natural law, which the Church has always taught, and the totalitarian demands of the modern secular state, which seeks to compel even religious communities to affirm objective falsehoods under threat of legal punishment.

When “Civil Rights” Supersede God’s Law: The MLB Persecution of Christian Athletes

EWTN News portal reports that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Major League Baseball for alleged religious discrimination against San Francisco Giants players who displayed Bible verses on their uniforms during the team’s “Pride Night” celebrations. The incident reveals the fundamental incompatibility between the modern secular order — with its fabricated “human rights” — and the immutable law of God, which demands that His truth be proclaimed without compromise, even when it offends the passions of the perverse.

Record Diaconate Numbers Mask Pastoral Collapse in Conciliar Church

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The EWTN News portal reports that the permanent diaconate in the United States has reached a record high of 21,562 men, according to a 2025 survey by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University. Yet this statistical “record” reveals not a flourishing of Catholic life but the terminal demographic crisis of a structure that has replaced the sacred priesthood with a bureaucratic ministry of social service. The survey found that 466 permanent deacons were ordained in 2025, while 494 retired and 390 died—meaning losses nearly match gains, and the median age of active deacons is 69. This is not a renewal; it is the managed decline of a naturalistic institution that has gutted the supernatural mission of the Church.

Canada’s Hate Crime Law Abolishes Religious Freedom: A Symptom of the Post-Conciliar Church’s Capitulation to Secular Tyranny

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that the Canadian Parliament has passed the “Combatting Hate Act” (Bill C-9), which received Royal Assent on June 18 and takes effect July 18. While ostensibly strengthening penalties for hate-motivated offenses and adding protections for places of worship, the legislation repeals a long-standing Criminal Code provision that protected the expression of religious opinions “in good faith” based on religious texts. Cardinal Frank Leo of Toronto expressed concern, urging lawmakers to “carefully consider amendments that will provide clear and unambiguous protection for freedom of religion, conscience, and expression.” The roundup also includes news of a Missionaries of Charity sister acquitted of child trafficking charges in India, the death of Sister Mary Augustine Nemer in East Africa, a Coptic Catholic synod in Egypt, revelations about weapons theft linked to the murder of 11 Catholics in Northern Ireland, a Chaldean patriarch’s meeting with Kurdish officials, and an archbishop’s lament over violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Conciliar Sect’s Martyrdom Factory: Manufacturing Saints to Legitimize a False Church

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that on June 18, 2026, the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints — an organ of the conciliar sect occupying the Vatican — recognized the “martyrdom” of Juan Torres Torres and 19 companion priests from the Diocese of Ibiza, killed during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The same decree recognized the “heroic virtues” of Clara Andreu y Malferit, a 17th-century Hieronymite nun. The article, sourced from ACI Prensa and dated June 19, 2026, presents these recognitions as straightforward acts of piety, noting that the diocesan process began in 2008 under “Bishop” Vicente Juan Segura and wound through the bureaucratic machinery of the post-conciliar structures for nearly two decades. Father Juan Torres, born in 1912, was martyred at age 25; the eldest, José Tur Bennassar, was 77. The Diocese of Ibiza celebrates their feast on September 13, the date most of the group died at Ibiza Castle. The article further notes that Sister Clara’s body is “incorrupt” and that she was once censured for mystical experiences before being vindicated. This entire apparatus of “canonization” and “beatification” is not merely a bureaucratic exercise but a calculated instrument of the conciar revolution — a factory producing counterfeit saints to lend divine legitimacy to a church that has abandoned the Faith.

The Funeral of a Modernist Giant: Unmasking the Ruini Legacy and the Conciliar Apostasy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

National Catholic Register portal reports on the funeral of Cardinal Camillo Ruini, a key figure in the implementation of the conciliar revolution in Italy. The article, a commentary by Father Raymond J. de Souza, paints a glowing portrait of a “giant” of the Church, celebrating his role in shaping post-conciliar Italian Catholicism. However, beneath the veneer of praise for a refined cultured prelate lies the stark reality of a man whose entire career was dedicated to advancing the modernist agenda under the banner of an apostate church. The current usurper, “Pope” Leo XIV, personally celebrated this funeral, offering a homily that serves as a manifesto of the very errors that have laid waste to the Faith. This event is not a moment of solemn remembrance but a public manifestation of the deep-seated apostasy that has infected the highest ranks of the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican.

The Illusion of Accountability: Vos Estis Lux Mundi and the Theater of Reform

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The Pillar portal reports on the seventh anniversary of the motu proprio Vos estis lux mundi, a document promulgated by the antipope Francis in 2019, ostensibly to address clerical sexual abuse and episcopal negligence. The article, authored by JD Flynn, questions whether the policy could be more effective if it led to publicly known consequences beyond mere removal from office. It cites initial praise from Cardinal Daniel DiNardo and Cardinal Sean O’Malley, who claimed the document would bring “predators to justice” and ensure “transparency, and accountability.” However, the article admits that “transparency has not been a feature” of its implementation, and results are only visible when bishops resign—often under the pretext of “health reasons.” Flynn suggests that the binary outcome (resignation or nothing) limits the tool’s effectiveness and proposes alternatives such as the “Hunthausen solution” (appointing a coadjutor to oversee specific areas) or public apologies for administrative failures. The article concludes that a broader range of responses might restore trust among Catholics and foster “a continuous and profound conversion of hearts.”

The fundamental error of this analysis lies in its complete acceptance of the conciliar sect’s framework as legitimate, treating a document issued by an antipope as if it were a valid exercise of papal authority, and proposing reforms within a structure that is itself the product of modernist apostasy. The very premise—that the Church needs new mechanisms for “accountability”—reveals a naturalistic, bureaucratic mindset that reduces the supernatural society established by Christ to a mere human corporation requiring managerial oversight.
