Pew Survey Reveals Political Idolatry and Substitution of Naturalism for Supernatural Faith

The cited article from the EWTN News / National Catholic Register portal (June 18, 2026) reports on a Pew Research Center survey claiming that 78% of “Catholics” in the United States view the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV favorably, and that a majority (51%) believe President Donald Trump has been “too critical” of this “pontiff.” The survey, conducted between May 26 and June 1, 2026, reveals a sharp political divide: 70% of “Democratic-leaning Catholics” find Trump’s criticism excessive, while 39% of “Republican-leaning Catholics” believe Leo XIV himself has been “too critical” of Trump. The article quotes John White, a “politics professor” at “The Catholic University of America,” who praises Leo XIV as a “moral leader” whose pronouncements are “true to the Gospel.” The article frames the conflict as a matter of “foreign policy” rhetoric regarding the Iran war, noting Trump’s description of Leo XIV as “terrible on foreign policy.” This entire narrative is a diabolical substitution of political allegiance and naturalistic “moral leadership” for the supernatural deposit of Faith, exposing the complete apostasy of the conciliar sect and its members who have made an idol of personality and politics.

The Front Royal Statement: A Naturalistic Blueprint for Catholic Education Without the Supernatural

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register reports on the “Front Royal Statement,” a document drafted by Catholic educators, bishops, and practitioners at Christendom College in May 2026. The statement proposes “seven cardinal principles” for Catholic K-12 schools, aiming to address the decades-long trend of parish school closures. While the document expresses concern for the decline of Catholic education and calls for a return to Catholic principles, a thorough examination reveals a deeply troubling omission of the most fundamental truths of the Faith, reducing Catholic education to a mere instrument of “human flourishing” rather than the salvation of souls.

FTC Sues WPATH as Catholic Bishops Challenge Transgender Deception on Children

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register reports that on June 17, 2026, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission sued the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) for allegedly making “false and deceptive claims” that misled parents about the risks of transgender medical interventions for children. The article notes that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops had previously urged the FTC to investigate such claims in October 2025, expressing concern that parents were not informed of risks and were being told the services are “lifesaving.” The article quotes Joseph Meaney of the National Catholic Bioethics Center stating WPATH operates as “more of a pro-transgender activist organization than an objective healthcare association,” and Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk warning that “science itself lacks qualifications to fully address and answer some of the most important ethical questions of our day, especially those related to the dignity of the human person.” That the civil authority must now intervene to stop the mutilation of children merely confirms that the conciliar sect’s silence and complicity in this evil has been total and catastrophic.

The Conciliar Sect’s Conversion Survey: A Mirror of Modernist Apostasy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

National Catholic Register portal reports on a survey of adult converts to the Catholic Church, revealing that motivations such as “personal growth in goodness, inner peace, and an understanding of truth” are primary drivers. The survey, led by the Archdiocese of Chicago, included 2,127 responses from participants across 20 U.S. dioceses. While the report highlights an attraction to the Church’s “sacred liturgy, prayer, ritual, and the sacraments” (68%) and “the wisdom of a 2,000-year-old Church” (65%), it conspicuously omits any mention of the necessity of conversion for salvation, the reality of sin, or the imperative of submitting to the one true Church. Instead, the language used is replete with naturalistic and psychological terms like “spiritual hunger,” “personal growth,” and “inner peace,” reflecting a modernist anthropocentric shift that prioritizes human experience over divine revelation and the supernatural order. This approach stands in stark contrast to the Church’s perennial teaching on conversion, which emphasizes the gravity of sin, the necessity of Baptism for salvation, and the absolute requirement of faith and obedience to God’s commandments.

Spiritual Hunger or Sophisticated Recruitment? A Survey Exposes the Conciliar Sect’s Conversion Illusion

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News (June 18, 2026) reports on a survey conducted by the Archdiocese of Chicago, titled “Why Are So Many People Becoming Catholic?”, which claims that “spiritual hunger” and “Church’s tradition” are the primary drivers for adult conversions to the Catholic Church in the United States. The survey, involving 2,127 respondents across 20 dioceses, highlights motivations such as a desire for “personal growth in goodness, inner peace, and an understanding of truth,” with 85% citing a desire to grow closer to God and 68% expressing attraction to the Church’s “sacred liturgy, prayer, ritual, and the sacraments.” However, this report, emanating from the heart of the post-conciliar apparatus, presents a deeply misleading narrative, masking the spiritual bankruptcy of the very institution it seeks to promote and fundamentally misrepresenting the nature of true conversion.

Notre Dame’s McGrath Institute Appointment Exposes the Bankruptcy of “Catholic Identity” in the Conciliar Sect

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register reports that the University of Notre Dame has appointed Joe Capizzi, dean of theology at The Catholic University of America, as the new director of the McGrath Institute for Church Life, succeeding John Cavadini after 25 years. The article presents this as a victory for “Catholic identity,” quoting donors, alumni, and faculty who praise Capizzi’s “fidelity to Church teaching” and “commitment to the university’s Catholic mission.” The succession process, initiated abruptly in 2024 without consulting the institute’s advisory board, had raised concerns about a possible change in direction. Yet beneath the triumphant rhetoric lies a profound theological void: the entire discussion operates within the framework of the post-conciliar sect, where “Catholic identity” has been reduced to managerial efficiency, institutional loyalty, and the perpetuation of structures that have systematically undermined the Faith for over six decades.

Pew Survey Exposes Conciliar Subservience to Political Powers

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News portal reports on a Pew Research Center survey revealing that a majority of Catholics in the United States view “Pope” Leo XIV favorably and consider Donald Trump’s criticisms of the pontiff excessive. The survey, conducted between May 26 and June 1, 2026, among 1,848 Catholics, found that 78% hold a favorable opinion of Leo XIV, with sharp divisions along partisan lines: 84% of Democratic-leaning Catholics view him favorably compared to 72% of Republican-leaning Catholics. The poll further exposed that 51% of all Catholics believe Trump has been too critical of Leo, while only 19% think the pontiff has been too critical of the president. These results are not merely a political curiosity; they are the predictable fruit of the conciliar revolution, which has reduced the Catholic Church to a servile institution seeking the approval of worldly powers while abandoning its divine mission to preach the integral Gospel of Christ the King.

The Conciliar Sect’s Migration Rhetoric: A Masterclass in Modernist Subversion

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports: The Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE), through its president, Bishop Mariano Crociata, expressed “deep concern” over the EU’s new Return Regulation, which streamlines deportation procedures for illegal immigrants. Crociata emphasized the “inviolable dignity” of migrants, urged policies that respect this dignity, and called on Europe to “reaffirm its founding values” of humanity and solidarity. The statement aligns with the call of “Pope” Leo XIV for an “examination of conscience” regarding migrants.

The Front Royal Statement: A Catholic Education Blueprint Built on Sand

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News portal reports on the “Front Royal Statement,” a document drafted by Catholic educators, “bishops,” and practitioners at Christendom College in May 2026. This statement proposes “seven cardinal principles” for Catholic K-12 schools, aiming to reverse decades of parish school closures. While the document laments the decline of Catholic education and calls for a return to “Catholic principles,” a thorough examination reveals that it operates entirely within the framework of the post-conciliar, modernist paradigm, offering naturalistic solutions to a crisis born of apostasy. It is a blueprint for reform that, by its very omissions and foundational assumptions, perpetuates the spiritual ruin it claims to address.

Sheen Beatification: A Conciliar Sect’s Spectacle Masquerading as Holiness

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register (June 18, 2026) reports that Bishop Louis Tylka of the Diocese of Peoria announced ticket availability for the beatification Mass of Fulton J. Sheen, scheduled for September 24, 2026, at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis. The article describes a two-week “pilgrimage experience” featuring Holy Hours, Masses of thanksgiving, visits to Sheen’s tomb, and the inaugural “Sheen Awards.” Bishop Tylka expressed “profound joy and gratitude” for this “historic celebration” and encouraged pilgrims to participate in what he called a “transformative pilgrimage experience” designed to help people “encounter Jesus Christ more deeply through the witness of Archbishop Sheen.” The article presents this event as a legitimate act of the Catholic Church, complete with sacramental preparation, Eucharistic adoration, and the promotion of a candidate for sainthood. This entire spectacle, however, is nothing but a carefully orchestrated performance by the conciliar sect — a paramasonic structure that has usurped the name and infrastructure of the Catholic Church while systematically destroying its doctrine, worship, and sacramental life. The beatification of Fulton J. Sheen is not merely a questionable act of ecclesiastical governance; it is a theological fraud that exposes the utter bankruptcy of the post-conciliar apostasy.
