The EWTN News portal (October 19, 2026) publishes a hagiographic puff piece on one “Father” Witold Kaczmarzyk, a conciliar presbyter of the “Archdiocese” of Denver, who utilizes an electric scooter, TikTok, Instagram, comedy shows, and “memes” to “evangelize” and “breathe new life” into a dying parish. The article, reeking of the *spiritus mundi*, presents this descent into buffoonery as a pastoral triumph, celebrating “viral” metrics and media attention as signs of the Kingdom of God. This spectacle confirms the total bankruptcy of the conciliar “priesthood,” which has exchanged the Sacerdos alter Christus for a content creator, the Cross for a scooter, and the salvation of souls for algorithmic engagement.
The Invalid “Priesthood” and the Simulation of Sacraments
The foundational fact, studiously ignored by the EWTN propagandists, is that Kaczmarzyk was “ordained” in 2019 according to the Pontificale Romanum of Paul VI (1968), a rite stripped of the essential form and intention for the Sacrament of Holy Orders. As Pope Pius XII defined in Sacramentum Ordinis (1947), the matter and form must signify the sacrificial priesthood; the new rite, by suppressing the traditive words “Accipe Spiritum Sanctum… in sacrificiis offerendis” and substituting a vague “presbyteral” imposition of hands, renders the ordination nulla, vacua, et invalida (null, void, and invalid). Consequently, Kaczmarzyk possesses no priestly character, offers no Sacrifice, confects no Eucharist, and absolves no sins. His “Eucharist” and “confession” are pure simulations—idolatry masquerading as worship. When the article quotes him saying the goal is to bring people to “meet him through the sacraments, specifically the Eucharist [and] confession,” it documents a diabolical deception: leading souls to a simulacrum of grace while the true channels of grace remain exclusively in the hands of validly ordained priests adhering to the immutable Tradition. Nemo dat quod non habet (no one gives what he does not have).
The Liturgical and Clerical Degradation: The Cassock as Costume
The article highlights Kaczmarzyk riding a cheap Amazon scooter “even while wearing his cassock.” This image is a metaphor for the entire conciliar catastrophe. The cassock, the vestis talaris, is a sign of separatio a saeculo (separation from the world), of death to self, of the character indelebilis conforming the priest to Christ the High Priest. To don this sacred garment for a joyride on a motorized toy to “save gas money” is a profanation bordering on sacrilege. It recalls the warning of St. Pius X in Tra le sollecitudini (1903): “The priest must flee worldly amusements… his whole demeanor must be grave and modest.” Here, the “cassock” is reduced to a branding tool, a visual hook for the “viral” photo op. The “priest” becomes a clown in sacred vesture, a living blasphemy of Sacerdos alter Christus. The “Archbishop” Samuel Aquila, a manifest Modernist who presides over this theater, bears the guilt of scandalum magnum by sending such a figure to “pastor” souls.
“Project Lazarus”: Blasphemy and the Algorithmic Apostolate
Kaczmarzyk dubs his Facebook resuscitation “Project Lazarus,” invoking the miracle of Christ raising the dead to describe the gaining of “followers” on a Masonic surveillance platform (Meta). This is verbal profanation of the highest order. Lazarus was raised by the Verbum Dei for the glory of God; the parish page is raised by “reels” and “skits” for the glory of the algorithm. The article reveals the modus operandi: “I’m just riding my scooter and that’s more popular than Thomas Aquinas? … ‘What are you doing, people?'” The rhetorical question betrays the Modernist inversion: popularity replaces truth, the sensory replaces the intellectual, the viral replaces the vital. St. Pius X condemned this precise mentality in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907): the Modernist “adapts” the Faith to the “needs of the times,” making the Gospel palatable to the homo naturalis. The “one-minute homily video series” epitomizes the heresy of minimalism—reducing the depositum fidei to a soundbite for the attention-deficit disciples of TikTok.
Comedy as “Evangelization”: The Triumph of the Homo Naturalis
The article boasts of Kaczmarzyk headlining a “sold-out comedy show event” and using “humor during his homilies” to make “funny yet applicable reels and memes.” This is the total substitution of the Kerygma with entertainment. The Apostle Paul declared: “Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void” (1 Cor 1:17). The conciliar “priest” inverts this: he preaches in wit of speech, lest the Cross offend the audience. The goal stated explicitly is: “people see first of all, I’m normal, I’m human, I can be funny and then maybe they want to come to church on Sunday.” The motive of credibility is no longer the motiva credibilitatis (miracles, prophecy, sanctity of the Church), but the relatability of the performer. This is the cult of man condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas (1925): “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” Here, Christ is removed from the pulpit, replaced by a “normal,” “funny” introvert on a scooter. The “comedy show” in the parish hall is the ludibrium of the Sancta Missa; the “pint” with parishioners replaces the conversatio in caelis. This is not evangelization; it is spiritual anesthesia.
The “Tool” Fallacy: Serving the Masonic Digital Panopticon
Kaczmarzyk claims: “Social media is great tool, but it’s just a tool; it’s not the end of all of it.” This is the classic Modernist error of instrumentalism, condemned implicitly by the Syllabus of Pius IX (Error 80: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself… with progress, liberalism and modern civilization”). TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook are not neutral “tools”; they are the nervous system of the Antichrist’s kingdom, engineered by God-hating technocrats for surveillance, dopamine addiction, and the erosion of the human faculty of contemplation. To enter this arena as a “priest” is not to fish for men, but to feed the beast. The “inbox full of positive messages” and “emails from local Denver news channels” are the gloria mundi, the applause of the world which Christ warned against: “Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you” (Lk 6:26). The “viral” nature of the scooter video proves only that the spiritus saeculi recognizes its own. True evangelization produces hatred of the world (Jn 15:18-19), not “followers.”
Silence on the Supernatural: The Pascendi Blueprint Realized
Read the article again. Search for the words: sin, hell, judgment, purgatory, the Cross, penance, mortification, the Blessed Virgin, the Rosary, the Traditional Latin Mass, the Social Kingship of Christ. They are entirely absent. This silence is the locus classicus of Modernism. As the Holy Office condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907), Prop. 65: “Contemporary Catholicism cannot be reconciled with true knowledge without transforming it into a certain dogmaless Christianity.” Kaczmarzyk’s “Catholicism” is precisely this: a dogma-less, Cross-less, sacrament-less (in reality) therapeutic moralistic deism delivered via scooter and smartphone. The “mission from his archbishop” to “get people back into the Church and on fire for Christ” results in a fire of straw—foenum, stipulam (1 Cor 3:12)—consumed by the first trial. The “Holy Hour at 6 a.m.” before the “Blessed Sacrament” in the rectory is the sole pious note, but even this is suspect: before what “Blessed Sacrament”? A host consecrated by an invalid rite by a man with no priesthood? It is idolum vanum.
Symptomatic Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation in Denver
This article is not a “good news story”; it is a diagnostic report on the death of the conciliar sect. The “Archdiocese of Denver,” once a bastion of conservative Novus Ordo practice, now officially deploys scooter-riding, TikTok-dancing “priests” to fill pews. It fulfills the prophecy of St. Paul: “For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine; but according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears” (2 Tim 4:3). Kaczmarzyk is the teacher for the itching ears of the digital age. The faithful Catholic, seeking the via crucis, the Missa Tridentina, the unadulterated depositum fidei, finds here only a circus. The structures occupying the Vatican and their local franchises (like Denver) have proven definitively that they are not the Catholic Church, but a paramasonic structure apeing her rites while denying her soul. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. Flee the scooter, flee the screen, flee the “comedy.” Seek the valid Mass, the true priesthood, the unchanging Tradition. Salus animarum suprema lex.
