Antichurch’s Humanitarian Plea: Abolishing Divine Justice Under False Mercy
The National Catholic Reporter portal publishes an opinion piece by Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy, executive director of the Catholic Mobilizing Network, dated September 9, 2026, recounting a meeting with the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) on June 17, 2026, wherein she presented a drawing containing 28 names of death-row inmates in Ohio. The article celebrates the accelerating abolitionist momentum among post-conciliar “bishops” and politicians, citing the Floridian “bishops'” pastoral letter, the “conversion” of Republican legislators Tim Reisch and Mike DeWine, and urging governors DeWine, Newsom, and Kelly to grant universal clemency before leaving office. The piece frames the death penalty as “state-sanctioned homicide” contrary to a “consistent ethic of life,” demanding a “restorative justice” rooted in mercy rather than vengeance, and concludes with a call for a novena to end capital punishment. **This screed exposes the total substitution of the supernatural order by a naturalistic humanitarianism, where the antipope and his pseudo-episcopate usurp the rights of God the Judge to impose a pacifist anthropology that empties the Cross of its expiatory justice.**
