Conciliar Media Unmasks Apostasy: Cupich Honors Abortion Funder, Bishops Serve Caesar

The Pillar portal (pillarcatholic.com), a flagship organ of the conciliar sect’s conservative wing, published on October 27, 2026, a “Tuesday Pillar Post” by JD Flynn that inadvertently lays bare the total apostasy of the neo-church’s hierarchy and its subservience to the world. The newsletter covers a feast of a 4th-century Egyptian hermit, promotes a paid daily news product, and then catalogues a series of scandals: a “traditionalist” pilgrimage denied the Mass at St. Peter’s by the Vatican; “bishops” of the USCCB blessing President Trump in the Oval Office at the behest of a known fraud, Mario Enzler; a priest in Ecuador crushed by a falling crucifix due to “deferred maintenance”; the Polish “bishops” establishing a modernist abuse commission; the Chaldean “patriarch” democratizing episcopal elections; a Ukrainian priest drafted into the army for failing bureaucratic requirements; “Bishop” Beckman of Knoxville suppressing the St. Michael prayer after Mass; and, most egregiously, “Cardinal” Cupich of Chicago bestowing the Nostra Aetate Award upon Michael Sacks, a Jewish billionaire who funds abortion through Planned Parenthood. This compendium of horrors proves that the conciliar sect is not merely in error but has become the abomination of desolation foretold, a paramasonic structure where the rights of Christ the King are traded for political favor and financial gain.

The Conciliar Press as Unwitting Accuser: Factual Deconstruction of the Neo-Church’s Crimes

The article opens with the feast of St. Abraham the Poor, a genuine saint of the pre-Constantinian Church, whose life of eremitical poverty and fidelity to the Gospel stands in stark, damning contrast to the opulence and compromise of the modern hierarchy. Flynn’s promotion of the “Starting Seven” subscription model reveals the mercantile spirit that animates the conciliar apostolate: the Faith reduced to a content product, the salvation of souls to a revenue stream. Non est mercimonium verbum Dei (The word of God is not merchandise).

Regarding the “traditionalist pilgrimage to Rome,” Flynn admits the reports were “populated entirely with breathless misinformation, from all sides.” This chaos is the inevitable fruit of the Ecclesia Dei deception: groups who recognize the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) as legitimate yet demand the Mass of Ages. They are those pretending to be traditional Catholics who, as the False Fatima Apparitions file exposes, participate in a Masonic “psychological operation” against the Church by legitimizing the usurpers on Peter’s Chair. Their exclusion from St. Peter’s Basilica is not persecution but divine judgment upon their schizophrenic position: Qui cum haereticis communicat, haereticus fit (He who communicates with heretics becomes a heretic).

A group of U.S. bishops prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, after they were invited to a meeting by Heritage Foundation exec Mario Enzler… there were just fewer than two weeks until midterm elections in this country, which led to a lot of concern about the timing and optics of the meeting, and the sense among many that the bishops were manipulated for political purposes.

Here the subjection of the ecclesiastical power to the civil is manifest. The Syllabus of Errors (Pope Pius IX, 1864) condemns as error: “The ecclesiastical power ought not to exercise its authority without the permission and assent of the civil government” (Error 20) and “In the case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers, the civil law prevails” (Error 42). These “bishops” — invalidly ordained in the new rite of Paul VI, devoid of jurisdiction — rush to bless the temporal ruler, violating the libertas Ecclesiae proclaimed by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… For this reason, the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.” The involvement of Mario Enzler — a fabricator of academic degrees, a dismissed Swiss Guard, a claimant of dubious connections to “St. John Paul II” and “St. John XXIII” — exposes the paramasonic network controlling the neo-church’s personnel. As the False Fatima Apparitions document details: “Stage 2 (1940-1958): Globalization of the cult and control of the narrative through Lucia’s isolation. Stage 3 (1958-2000): Takeover of the narrative by modernists, concealment of the Third Secret, ecumenical reinterpretation.” Enzler is a creature of this Stage 3.

The death of Fr. Patricio Sánchez Molinari in Ecuador, crushed by a falling crucifix due to “deferred maintenance,” is a terrible sign. The physical ruin of churches mirrors the spiritual ruin of the conciliar sect. Cardinal Cabrera’s admission that this is “a critical problem… in many places with centuries-old churches” signifies that the domus Dei has been abandoned by its false shepherds. Quas Primas teaches that Christ’s Kingdom “encompasses all men… the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The neglect of His houses is the neglect of His Kingship.

The Polish “bishops” establishing an “independent commission investigating abuse” led by a historian — not a canonist or theologian — manifests the naturalistic, sociological reduction of the crisis. The Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907) condemned the Modernist proposition: “The Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and theological sciences” (Prop. 57) and “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him” (Prop. 58). This commission, operating under civil law paradigms, ignores the causa prima: the loss of the Faith, the invalidity of the new sacraments, the infiltration of the clergy by homosexuals and Freemasons — all fruits of Vatican II.

The Chaldean “patriarch” Paul III Nona’s “new procedure for electing bishops” giving “more time to study candidates before voting” is pure collegialism, the heresy of Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium that makes the episcopal college subject to democratic processes. The Syllabus condemns: “There is nothing to prevent the decree of a general council, or the act of all peoples, from transferring the supreme pontificate from the bishop and city of Rome to another bishop and another city” (Error 35). This Chaldean innovation is a microcosm of the conciliar revolution: ecclesia non est parliamentum.

The Ukrainian priest drafted into the army for “failure to follow the steps required for clergy draft deferment” illustrates the total subjection of the clergy to the secular state. The Syllabus condemns: “The personal immunity by which clerics are exonerated from military conscription and service in the army may be abolished without violation either of natural right or equity” (Error 32). The diocese’s bureaucratic excuse — “failure to follow steps” — shows the conciliar clergy are functionaries of the state, not alter Christus. Quas Primas declares: “The Church, established by Christ as a perfect society, demands for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority.”

Bishop of Knoxville, Tennessee, that he would curtail the recitation of the St. Michael prayer at the conclusion of Mass in parishes in his diocese… The Pillar talked with Bishop Mark Beckman about his decision, which the bishop said was made to ensure respect for Catholics wishing to pray silently in parish churches after Mass.

The suppression of the St. Michael Prayer — commanded by Pope Leo XIII after a vision of Satan’s increased power — by a “bishop” of the neo-church is diabolical disorientation. The prayer is a spiritual weapon against the princeps huius mundi. Beckman’s pretext — “respect for Catholics wishing to pray silently” — is Pharisaical hypocrisy. The article reveals the truth: “in many places in the diocese, the St. Michael prayer after Mass has association with Bishop Rick Stika, Beckman’s predecessor who resigned in disgrace.” Thus, a prayer to the Archangel who cast Satan out of Heaven is suppressed because of personal animus against a disgraced predecessor. This is the cult of man replacing the cult of God. Lamentabili condemned: “Faith, as assent of the mind, is ultimately based on a sum of probabilities” (Prop. 25) — here, faith is based on ecclesiastical politics.

Linguistic Camouflage: The Rhetoric of “Dialogue” and “Accompaniment” Masking Betrayal

Flynn’s language — “befuddled,” “chatty meanderings,” “breathless misinformation,” “optics,” “nuanced” — is the vernacular of the worldly journalist, not the parrhesia of the Apostle. He speaks of “concern about the timing and optics,” not scandal to the faithful or violation of divine law. The word “optics” reveals the Modernist pragmatism: truth is subordinate to perception. Lamentabili Prop. 26: “The dogmas of faith should be understood according to their practical function, i.e., as binding in action, rather than as principles of belief.” This is the operational credo of The Pillar.

Cupich’s statement defending the award to Sacks is a masterpiece of Modernist newspeak: “Refusing to honor or engage with Jews solely because they hold conflicting religious or political positions can risk mimicking historic patterns of antisemitism through exclusion and bigotry.” Here, doctrinal truth is labeled “bigotry”; fidelity to Christ is labeled “antisemitism”. This is the inversion of the Syllabus: Error 15 (Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true) and Error 16 (Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation) are elevated to virtues. The false declaration Nostra Aetate — condemned by Archbishop Lefebvre as the “declaration of religious liberty” that destroys the regnum Christi — is weaponized to honor an abortion financier.

Flynn’s admission — “I am, I must admit, befuddled. It seems there are a few possibilities. And I don’t like any of them” — is the cri de coeur of the conservative Novus Ordo: they see the abyss but refuse to recognize its cause: the loss of the Papacy, the vacancy of the See, the invalidity of the Conciliar Church. As the Defense of Sedevacantism demonstrates: “A Pope-manifest heretic loses his office automatically… A manifest heretic cannot be Pope or a member of the Church.” Cupich, by honoring an abortion funder, is a manifest heretic who has defected from the Faith (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code). He is not a cardinal; he is a layman usurping ecclesiastical office.

Theological Anathema: Every Reported Event a Violation of Infallible Magisterium

1. The Cupich-Sacks Abomination. Michael Sacks donated $600,000 to the Prairie State Access Fund, explicitly “to offset abortion providers’ loss of federal funding — providers including Planned Parenthood.” Cupich honors him with the Nostra Aetate Award. This violates:

Canon 188.4 (1917 Code): “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration by reason of tacit resignation… if the cleric: 4. Publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” As Fr. McDevitt notes in the Defense of Sedevacantism file: “Defection from the faith must be public. It should be noted at once that joining, or enrolling in, a non-Catholic sect is not required to establish the publicity which the canon demands.” Honoring an abortion financier is public defection.
Pope Paul IV, Cum ex Apostolatus Officio: “…if at any time it shall appear that any Bishop… or even the Roman Pontiff… has defected from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy: (i) his promotion or elevation… shall be null, void, and of no effect.” Cupich’s “elevation” by the antipope is null ab initio.
Quas Primas: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… The state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men.” Cupich collaborates with the Culture of Death, the kingdom of Satan.
Syllabus Error 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” Cupich’s award ceremony is a liturgical act of the new religion: the syncretism of the neo-church with the world.

2. The Trump Blessing. The “bishops” laying hands on the President in the Oval Office is sacrilegious simulation. They possess no jurisdiction, no valid orders, no mission. Defense of Sedevacantism: “A non-Christian in no way can be Pope… The reason for this is that he cannot be the head of something of which he is not a member; now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian… therefore, a manifest heretic cannot be Pope.” These “bishops” are members of the conciliar sect, not the Catholic Church. Their “blessing” is idolatry of the State. Quas Primas: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed.”

3. The St. Michael Suppression. The prayer was composed by Leo XIII ex ore proprio after a prophetic vision. Its suppression by Beckman is rebellion against the Church’s spiritual armor. Quas Primas: “His kingdom is opposed only to the kingdom of Satan and the powers of darkness.” To remove the prayer that invokes the Prince of the Heavenly Hosts against Satan is to side with the powers of darkness. The “nuanced” association with the disgraced Stika reveals the personality cult that replaces the Cult of the Saints.

4. The Ukrainian Priest. The diocese’s statement — “caused by his failure to follow the steps required for clergy draft deferment” — is canonical positivism devoid of supernatural sense. The Syllabus (Error 32) condemns the abolition of clerical immunity. The conciliar “diocese” collaborates with the secularist Ukrainian state in sending a priest to kill and be killed. Quas Primas: “Christ received from the Father unlimited right over all that is created, so that all is subject to His will.” The priest belongs to Christ, not to Caesar.

Symptomatic Rot: The Inevitable Fruit of the Conciliar Revolution

Every item in Flynn’s newsletter is a symptom of the same disease: the Conciliar Revolution of 1958-1965 that erected a counter-church in place of the Catholic Church. The False Fatima Apparitions file identifies the Masonic operation behind the post-conciliar transformation: “Symbolism of dates: 1717 (founding of Freemasonry), 1917 (apparitions), 2017 (canonization) – ritualistic 200-year cycles.” The year 2026 sees this operation in its terminal phase: the open honoring of abortionists, the blessing of politicians, the suppression of exorcistic prayers, the subjection of clergy to the draft.

The Pillar itself — a “Catholic” news outlet that recognizes the antipope Leo XIV, employs “bishops” as sources, treats the USCCB as authoritative, and promotes the Nostra Aetate framework — is part of the paramasonic structure. Its “investigative journalism” (Beltran on the pilgrimage, Flynn on Enzler) serves only to manage the narrative within the neo-church, never to denounce the root: the vacancy of the Holy See since 1958. Flynn’s “befuddlement” is the intellectual bankruptcy of the recognize-and-resist position. They see the fruits (abortion funding honored, Trump blessed, St. Michael banned) but deny the tree (the false pope, the false council, the false church).

Quas Primas concludes: “May it come to pass… that those who do not belong to the Church may desire and accept for their own salvation the sweet yoke of Christ, and that all of us, who by the merciful Providence of God are His household, may bear this yoke not sluggishly, but zealously, willingly, and holy.” The conciliar sect bears the yoke of the world. The true Church — Ecclesia militans in the catacombs, served by valid bishops and priests of the Traditional Movement (sedevacantist) — alone confesses Christ the King in the face of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). Viva Cristo Rey!
