Eucharistic Procession in Washington: A Witness to What, Exactly?
EWTN News portal reports on June 6, 2026, about a Eucharistic procession in Washington, D.C., as part of the “National Eucharistic Pilgrimage.” The article describes families gathering to adore the Eucharist, with parents and grandparents bringing children to witness the event. Quotes from participants emphasize the importance of “witness,” “practical things” for children to understand the Church, and the desire to “bring the power of his love to the streets.” The article highlights the perceived openness of the United States to the “practice of faith” and the role of children in this “witness.” While superficially appearing to promote Catholic devotion, the article’s omissions and underlying assumptions reveal a profound theological bankruptcy and a dangerous drift towards a naturalistic, modernist understanding of faith and witness, characteristic of the post-conciliar abomination.
