Vatican News Reduces Gospel to Humanitarian Sentimentalism in Modernist Homily
The Vatican News portal (August 1, 2026) publishes a reflection for the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time by the Benedictine “Fr.” Edmund Power, ostensibly commenting on the multiplication of the loaves (Matthew 14:13-21) and Romans 8:35-39. The text exemplifies the thoroughgoing naturalization of the supernatural characteristic of the conciliar sect: it substitutes caritas with humanitarian compassion, the Holy Eucharist with social distribution, and the dogmatic certitude of Romans 8 with a grammatical exercise devoid of theological density. The omission of the propitiatory Sacrifice, the necessity of the state of grace, and the Social Kingship of Christ exposes the functional apostasy of the neo-church’s “liturgical” commentary.
