The “Catholic” Vice President and the Religion of Good Feelings

The National Catholic Register reports that U.S. Vice President JD Vance, in a June 8, 2026 Fox News interview, described his conversion to Catholicism as a journey of “soul-searching” driven by career success, fatherhood, and a desire for virtue, ultimately choosing the Church because it “felt like home” and offered ancient tradition. He praised the “dynamism” of religious pluralism, noting his Hindu wife and Protestant friends as positive influences, and promoted his upcoming book on regaining faith. This narrative, however, reveals not a conversion to the One True Faith, but a post-conciliar cultural Catholicism that is theologically vacuous, indifferent to dogma, and perfectly aligned with the modernist spirit of the conciliar sect.

UN Experts Condemn Persecution of Christians in Nigeria — But Where Is the Church?

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register reports that on June 8, 2026, a group of United Nations human rights experts issued a press release warning of “deeply troubling” violations against Christian women and girls in Nigeria, including killings, sexual violence, forced conversions, child marriages, abductions, and enforced disappearances. The experts cited attacks by Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province, and radicalized Muslim herdsmen, particularly in northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt region. They pointed to Sharia law in 12 northern states, blasphemy codes, and systemic justice failures as contributing factors. Specific incidents included the abduction of girls from a church in Borno state, the forced conversion and marriage of a 13-year-old girl in Bauchi state, and the mutilation of a 16-year-old Christian girl whose hand was cut off after her family rejected a forced marriage proposal. The experts urged Nigerian authorities to act urgently. ADF International’s Giorgio Mazzoli welcomed the UN communication as a “significant and welcome step.” Yet this entire framework — the appeal to “international human rights law,” the reliance on UN mechanisms, the absence of any mention of the Church’s supernatural mission — reveals the spiritual bankruptcy of the post-conciliar approach to persecution.

The Usurper’s Pilgrimage: Leo XIV’s Journey to the Heart of Apostasy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News portal reports that Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich has confirmed the itinerary for the apostolic journey of the usurper Robert Prevost, who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV,” to France, scheduled for September 25–28, 2026. The journey will include stops in Paris, Lourdes, and Metz, with events ranging from vespers at Notre-Dame Cathedral to an open-air “Mass” in Paris and a “Eucharistic celebration” at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. Ulrich described the visit as “a source of comfort and encouragement for many” and called for the faithful to prepare through prayer, volunteering, and financial support, emphasizing unity “behind the bishops in full communion with the successor of Peter.”

This so-called apostolic journey is not a mission of evangelization or the conversion of France to the Catholic faith, but a theatrical spectacle designed to legitimize the conciliar sect, promote the ecumenical and modernist agenda, and perpetuate the veneration of false apparitions — all while the neo-church continues its relentless march toward the abomination of desolation.

Vance’s “Catholicism”: A Convert’s Journey into the Abomination of Desolation

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The EWTN portal reports that Vice President JD Vance has publicly narrated his journey into the Catholic Church, describing how fatherhood prompted a “soul-searching” that led him to convert in 2019, drawn by what he called the Church’s “beautiful ancient” traditions and the feeling that he “felt at home.” He praises the “dynamism” of a religiously pluralistic culture, celebrates his Hindu wife’s presence in their marriage as something that “brings a lot,” and expresses hope that his story might help others — “Catholic, Protestant, or otherwise” — find reconciliation with God. What Vance describes as a homecoming to the ancient faith is, upon examination, an embrace of the very conciliar sect that has gutted that faith from within, wrapped in the sentimental language of personal fulfillment and cultural nostalgia.

When “Religious Freedom” Masks the Neo-Church’s Subservience to Secular Power

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that a federal court in New Mexico granted a temporary restraining order allowing a Nigerian “priest,” Martin Umeatuegbu, to remain in the United States while the Archdiocese of Santa Fe petitions to upgrade his student visa to an R-1 religious worker visa. The decision, issued on June 4 by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Gonzales, came after the Trump administration placed holds on visa adjustments for nationals from “high-risk” countries, including Nigeria. The archdiocese had filed its petition on December 31, 2025, and Umeatuegbu was “ordained” on May 23, 2026, subsequently being assigned to St. Anne Parish in Santa Fe. The court cited the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, claiming the government’s policy “infringes on the archdiocese’s right to select its minister of choice.” This case, we are told, could set a precedent for other foreign-born “priests” from designated countries.

Neocatechumenal Ordinations in Jerusalem: A Symptom of the Conciliar Sect’s Subversion of the Priesthood

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that on June 6, 2026, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem within the conciliar structures, ordained four priests from the Redemptoris Mater Seminary of Galilee, an institution of the Neocatechumenal Way. The ceremony took place at the Domus Galilaeae International Center, a site built by the Neocatechumenal Way on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Pizzaballa’s homily emphasized the link between the priesthood and the Eucharist, the need for priests to be a “gift” to the community, and the unique challenges of serving in Jerusalem. This event is a direct manifestation of the conciliar sect’s systematic destruction of the Catholic priesthood and its replacement with a modernist, secularized caricature, all while operating from the very sites sanctified by Our Lord’s earthly ministry.

The Usurper Antipope Leo XIV Meets Bad Bunny: A Symptomatic Encounter of the Conciliar Sect’s Worldliness

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register portal reports that on June 8, 2026, the usurper antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) met with Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) and his family at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid. The encounter, confirmed by the Vatican, allowed the two to greet and converse briefly, coinciding with both being in the city—the antipope for a vigil with young people, and the artist for a series of concerts. The archbishop of Madrid, Cardinal José Cobo Cano, had previously expressed openness to such a meeting, stating that “the pope is never closed to speaking with anyone who wishes to enter into dialogue with him.” This meeting, devoid of any spiritual or doctrinal significance, is a glaring symptom of the conciliar sect’s relentless pursuit of worldly relevance and its abandonment of the Church’s supernatural mission.

A Bishop in the Wilderness: The Conciliar Church’s Slow Death in Russia

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The Pillar portal reports on Bishop Clemens Pickel, a German-born prelate who has led the Diocese of St. Clement at Saratov in southern Russia for over two decades. The article, based on an email interview, details his upbringing in communist East Germany, his transfer to the Soviet Union in 1990, his episcopal appointment at age 36, and his recent re-election as president of Russia’s bishops’ conference. Pickel describes a diocese spanning 1.3 million square kilometers with only 20,000 Catholics, served by a dwindling number of mostly foreign priests. He speaks of declining numbers, deported clergy, closing religious communities, and the challenges of the “synodal process.” The interview reveals a man who has spent 35 years in the conciliar structures of the former Soviet Union, yet whose vision of the Church’s mission—”bringing Jesus Christ back home”—is fatally constrained by the very modernist framework he inhabits, a framework that has rendered the Catholic presence in Russia a demographic and spiritual irrelevance.
