The Pillar, a digital organ of the conciliar sect, published on October 12, 2026, a podcast episode featuring its editor JD Flynn in dialogue with the notorious Jesuit apostate Fr. James Martin. The episode, recorded July 8, 2026, centers on Martin’s advocacy for Catholics who “identify as gay” and the promotion of his memoir Work in Progress. This spectacle of two modernists congratulating each other on the demolition of Catholic morality constitutes a further stage in the institutionalization of the anti-Gospel within the structures occupying the Vatican.
The Conciliar Sect’s Official Platform for the Sodomite Agenda
The very premise of the podcast — a “Great Catholic Conversation” with a priest who has made a career of blaspheming the Sixth Commandment and the Catechism of the Council of Trent — reveals the ontological apostasy of the post-conciliar structures. The Pillar, despite its conservative veneer among Novus Ordo adherents, functions as a gatekeeper of the revolution, legitimizing the most radical agents of subversion by granting them a respectful hearing. JD Flynn, by hosting Martin, is not “dialoguing”; he is ratifying the new faith of the neo-church: the cult of man and his disordered passions.
The episode description speaks of “Catholics who identify as gay.” This phraseology — “identify as” — is the linguistic signature of gender ideology, imported wholesale from the secular world into the sanctuary. It presupposes the modernist heresy that man is the author of his own nature, that sexual identity is a fluid psychological construct rather than an immutable biological and theological reality ordained by the Creator. There are no “gay Catholics”; there are only Catholics struggling against the vice of sodomy, or unrepentant sinners scandalizing the faithful. To adopt the enemy’s terminology is to surrender the battlefield before the first shot is fired.
Fr. James Martin: The Public Face of the Lavender Mafia
Fr. James Martin is not a dissenting theologian; he is a missionary of the Antichrist deployed by the Jesuit order — long since corrupted into the vanguard of Modernism — to normalize the sin that cries to heaven for vengeance. His book Building a Bridge (2017), endorsed by the usurper Bergoglio, demanded “respect, compassion, and sensitivity” for active homosexuals while demanding zero conversion, zero call to chastity, zero proclamation of “Go, and sin no more” (John 8:11).
The podcast promotes his memoir Work in Progress, a title dripping with the heresy of self-creation. The true priest is alter Christus, configured to the High Priest who offered Himself as a victim for sin. Martin presents himself as a work in progress — man as his own savior, evolving toward a self-defined authenticity. This is the theologia gloriae of the serpent: eritis sicut dii (Gen 3:5).
Theological Bankruptcy: The Silence on Sin, Grace, and Hell
The podcast summary — and by extension the entire enterprise of The Pillar — is utterly silent on the supernatural order. No mention of:
- The state of grace as the sine qua non of Catholic identity;
- The sacrament of Penance as the ordinary means of restoration;
- The horror of mortal sin separating the soul from God;
- The reality of Hell where unrepentant sodomites suffer eternal fire (cf. Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Catechism of the Council of Trent on the Sixth Commandment);
- The duty of fraternal correction (Ezekiel 33:8; Matthew 18:15) which binds every priest to warn the sinner, not “accompany” him in his ruin.
This silence is the gravest accusation. It proves the participants are functional atheists, operating entirely within the horizontal plane of psychology, sociology, and public relations. They have no faith. As St. Pius X condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907), proposition 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.” The neo-church has reduced dogma to therapy, the Cross to a conversation piece.
The “Bridges” Metaphor: A Bridge to Perdition
The podcast title “On bridges” references Martin’s project of building “bridges” between the institutional Church and the LGBT lobby. But a bridge requires two solid foundations. The Catholic foundation is the depositum fidei, the immutable moral law, the words of Christ: “What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder” (Matt 19:6) and the Apostolic anathema: “If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth” (John 15:6).
The other “shore” is the ideology of death: gender theory, the destruction of the family, the rape of children’s innocence in schools, the medical mutilation of “trans” youth. To build a bridge to this is not pastoral charity; it is treason against the King of Kings. As Pius XI thundered in Quas Primas (1925): “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.” Martin and Flynn are the engineers of this shaking.
The Pillar: Controlled Opposition in the Service of the Revolution
The Pillar presents itself as a “Catholic” journal of record. In reality, it is a pressure valve for conservative Novus Ordo sentiment, channeling legitimate outrage at the excesses of the Bergoglian revolution into safe, subscription-funded commentary that never questions the legitimacy of the usurpers. By hosting Martin, Flynn signals that the “conservative” wing of the neo-church has capitulated on the non-negotiables. The “dialogue” format — “bridges ‘Yes or No?'” — trivializes the salvation of souls into a parlor game.
This is the democratization of truth condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), proposition 15: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true.” Here, every pervert is free to “identify” as he pleases, and the “priest” and “journalist” applaud his courage. There is no authority, no judgment, no Cathedra Petri — only a roundtable of equals.
The Symptomatic Level: The Fruit of Vatican II’s False Ecumenism
This podcast is the inevitable fruit of Dignitatis Humanae and Nostra Aetate. Once the conciliar church declared that the State has no duty to profess the true religion, and that false religions contain “elements of truth,” it became logically impossible to deny that the “religion” of sodomy deserves equal citizenship in the public square. The “seeds of the Word” heresy leads inexorably to the “seeds of the Rainbow Flag.”
The Syllabus condemns (prop. 55): “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” The neo-church has not only separated; it has prostituted itself to the State’s new religion: LGBTQ+ totalitarianism. Martin is its high priest; Flynn its scribe; The Pillar its temple.
Canon 188.4 and the Vacancy of the See
The 1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 188.4, declares that an office becomes vacant ipso facto by “public defection from the Catholic faith.” Fr. James Martin, by his public, obstinate, and celebrated promotion of the grave sin of sodomy as a valid “identity,” has publicly defected from the Catholic faith. He is not a priest of the Catholic Church; he is a minister of the conciliar sect, a hireling who flees when the wolf comes (John 10:12).
That he remains celebrated, hosted, and promoted by the structures occupying Rome — and by their “conservative” media outlets — is irrefutable proof that the See of Peter is vacant. A true Pope would have excommunicated him ferendae sententiae long ago. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches (De Romano Pontifice, lib. 2, cap. 30): “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope… he cannot be the head of something of which he is not a member.” The same applies to his collaborators and enablers.
Conclusion: No Compromise with the Ministers of Darkness
The faithful Catholic, adhering to the immutable Tradition and the valid bishops and priests who preserve the Mass of All Ages and the integral doctrine, must flee from this podcast, from The Pillar, from Fr. Martin, and from the entire conciliar edifice as from a plague house. “Go out from her, my people, that you may not share in her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues” (Apoc 18:4).
There is no “bridge” between Christ and Belial (2 Cor 6:15). There is only the narrow way of the Cross, the unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, the confession of sin, and the reign of Christ the King over every faculty of the soul and every law of the nations. The Pillar and its guests serve the abomination of desolation. Let him who has ears, hear.
