Synodal Consistory: A Parliament of Naturalism Disguised as Pastoral Concern
[Antichurch] Synodal Consistory: A Parliament of Naturalism Disguised as Pastoral Concern
EWTN VaticanNews portal reports on the opening of the second extraordinary consistory of cardinals under “Pope” Leo XIV, held in the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall on June 26, 2026. The gathering of 178 cardinals, conducted in what is described as a “synodal format,” addressed a “wounded world” marked by polarization, violence, migration, secularism, and a “crisis of meaning.” The synthesis provided by the Holy See Press Office reveals a thoroughly naturalistic diagnosis of the modern world, conspicuously devoid of any reference to supernatural remedies — the state of grace, the necessity of conversion to the Catholic Faith, the reality of sin, or the eternal destiny of souls. What emerges is not the voice of the Mystical Body of Christ, but rather the anxious deliberations of a humanitarian NGO that has replaced the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the platitudes of secular therapeutic culture.
