Corpus Christi Processions, Episcopal Accountability, and the Neo-Church’s Contradictions
The Pillar portal reports on a range of topics in its June 5, 2026 newsletter: Corpus Christi processions, the legal case against Fr. Thomas Rosica, the upcoming consistory of cardinals, the transfer of Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Hilarion amid drug allegations, China’s use of state-sanctioned Church bodies to promote ethnic assimilation laws, the installation of the new Chaldean Catholic patriarch, Andorra’s moves to decriminalize abortion, a German youth organization’s decision to retain St. Thomas More as patron while condemning his opposition to the Reformation, the resolution of Portugal’s independent abuse commission cases, and a reflection on the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ motu proprio Come una madre amorevole. The article’s treatment of these matters reveals the deep contradictions inherent in the post-conciliar ecclesial landscape, where public devotional gestures coexist with systemic failures in governance, doctrinal confusion, and the steady advance of secularism — all under the watch of a neo-church that has abandoned the integral Catholic faith.
