The National Catholic Register — a flagship organ of the conciliar sect occupying the Vatican — publishes an interview with Kasey Devine, founder and CEO of Entravia, a technology start-up that “simplifies how small and midsize businesses compare and select Professional Employer Organizations.” Devine credits his parish “small group” under the Cana Family Institute and the reading of Rerum Novarum as the motivation for his entrepreneurial venture, which won the 2026 SENT Pitch Competition. The article drips with the language of the neo-church: “faith-based organization,” “values-aligned investors,” “servant leadership,” and the inevitable invocation of the antipope Leo XIV’s fictitious encyclical Magnifica Humanitas. The thesis is clear: the conciliar sect has reduced the Catholic Faith to a branding exercise for capitalist enterprise, baptizing the pursuit of venture capital as a vocation and replacing the salvation of souls with the optimization of HR workflows.
The Conciliar Sect’s Entrepreneurial Gospel: Mammon Baptized by “Mission”
The article originates from the National Catholic Register, a publication wholly owned by EWTN, the media apparatus of the post-conciliar establishment. It reports on SENT — “a faith-based organization focused on equipping Catholic leaders for their entrepreneurial pursuits” — which holds an annual “SUMMIT Pitch Competition” offering a “$10,000 cash prize” and connection with “values-aligned investors.” The very phrase “faith-based organization” is a tell: it is the language of the IRS and the NGO sector, not the language of the Church Militant. The Church is not a “faith-based organization”; she is the Una, Sancta, Catholica et Apostolica Ecclesia, the Ark of Salvation, outside of which there is no salvation (extra Ecclesiam nulla salus). SENT’s “nine chapters across North America” since 2020 mark not the spread of the Kingdom of God, but the metastasizing of a neo-church bureaucracy that has replaced the Great Commission with the great pitch deck.
Devine’s Entravia — “loosely means ‘the way in’ (entra-via)” — provides a platform for comparing PEOs. The mission, he says, “isn’t attached to the product; it is the product.” This is the heresy of activism condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis: the substitution of social action for supernatural life. The article notes Devine “led with” his “why” at the Denver competition, “talking about Rerum Novarum and PEO in the same breath.” Leo XIII’s encyclical defended the rights of workers against the tyranny of capital; here it is pressed into service as a marketing tagline for a SaaS platform that helps businesses outsource their HR compliance. The dignitas humana is reduced to a benefits package comparison tool.
Antipope Leo XIV and the Phantom Encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas”
Pope Leo XIV signed his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, this May on the 135th anniversary of Rerum Novarum. It warns that AI too often “forces workers to adapt to the speed and demands of machines, rather than machines being designed to support those who work.”
Here the article exposes its allegiance to the usurper on the Chair of Peter. Robert Prevost, styling himself “Leo XIV,” is a manifest heretic who participates in the false religions of the world, promotes the false ecumenism of Vatican II, and upholds the novelties of the conciliar revolution. He has no authority to sign encyclicals; his “Magisterium” is the magisterium of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). The title Magnifica Humanitas — “Magnificent Humanity” — reveals the anthropocentric inversion at the heart of the neo-church: no longer Dei Gloriam, but Hominis Gloriam. Devine treats this counterfeit document as authoritative, quoting it as “our product philosophy in a sentence.” The conciliar sect’s “social teaching” has become a user manual for tech start-ups.
False Sacraments, False Conversion, False Vocation
Devine recounts: “I’m a former atheist, and I was baptized, confirmed and received the Eucharist at the Easter vigil in 2021. Erin and I had our marriage convalidated that same year.” These sacraments were administered in the Novus Ordo rite by priests ordained in the invalid Paul VI rite (1968), within a parish of the conciliar sect. The baptism may be valid in extremis if matter, form, and intention were present, but the confirmation and “Eucharist” (the Novus Ordo “memorial meal”) are doubtful at best, and the “convalidation” by a pseudo-priest of the neo-church resolves nothing. St. Robert Bellarmine teaches that a manifest heretic cannot be Pope (De Romano Pontifice); the line of usurpers from John XXIII onward has severed the visible Church from the Vatican structures. Devine’s “conversion” is an entry into the counterfeit church, the “Church of the New Advent,” not the Catholic Church.
His vocational discernment is equally compromised: “I kept getting stuck on Abraham… In prayer, I kept hearing three words: ‘Leave your tent.’… So, a week before our son was born, I left ADP with no backup plan to build Entravia.” This is not Catholic discernment of spirits — it is Protestant private revelation enthusiasm, untethered from obedience to a legitimate superior, a rule of life, or the objective moral law. The “peace” he felt is not the peace of Christ (pax Christi), which surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:7), but the psychological relief of a man acting on impulse. He admits: “Prayer didn’t take the fear away. I was deeply, deeply scared.” True supernatural confidence does not coexist with “deeply, deeply scared” when one is doing God’s will; it coexists with fortitudo and spes.
Jordan Peterson as Spiritual Director: The Gnostic Substitute for Theology
I was in a parish small group, reading Jordan Peterson’s We Who Wrestle With God, and praying through Genesis…
The Cana Family Institute — “an organization focused on building community rooted in Scripture, reflection and fellowship” — feeds its members Jordan Peterson, a Jungian psychologist who treats the Bible as archetypal mythology, not divine revelation. This is Modernism in its purest form: the reduction of dogma to “religious experience,” the substitution of the sensus fidei with the sensus psychologicus. St. Pius X condemned the proposition that “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Lamentabili Sane Exitu, prop. 20). Peterson’s “wrestling with God” is the wrestling of Jacob without the blessing — a naturalistic simulacrum of contemplation. That a “Catholic” small group uses him as a primary text proves the total evacuation of Catholic doctrine from the conciliar parish.
Servant Leadership as Corporate Strategy, Not Supernatural Charity
Devine declares: “How I lead: Christ washing his disciples’ feet was a radical idea, and servant leadership still is. I exist as CEO to serve the people who said ‘Yes’ to this mission with me.” This is the language of Robert Greenleaf and the Harvard Business Review, not the Gospel. Our Lord washed the feet of the Apostles to institute the priesthood and command fraternal charity in the order of grace — not to model a management style for a PEO comparison platform. The conciliar sect has so thoroughly naturalized the Faith that the Sacred Triduum becomes a leadership seminar. Charity is a theological virtue infused by the Holy Ghost, not a “leadership principle” for a solo founder. When the CEO says “I exist as CEO to serve,” he inverts the hierarchy of being: the businessman serves the bottom line; the Christian serves God. One cannot serve two masters (Matt. 6:24).
Investors, “Pre-Seed” Funding, and the Parable of the Talents Perverted
Devine boasts: “every time I took a step, something ‘fell out of the sky’: the introduction I needed, the connection that made the next thing happen, even the firm that led our pre-seed [funding]… M25, for Matthew 25, the Parable of the Talents.” He explicitly links venture capital to the parable where the master rewards the servants who traded with his goods. But the talents in the parable are the graces of the Holy Ghost, the deposit of faith, the souls entrusted to the Church — not pre-seed capital from a firm named “M25.” This is simony of the spiritual order: using Scripture to sacralize the pursuit of Mammon. The “giant check with [an image of] the Vatican on it” carried through Denver airport is the perfect icon of the neo-church: the Vatican as logo, the Faith as branding, the apostolate as a pitch competition.
Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Nowhere in the article — not in Devine’s words, not in the interviewer’s questions — is there mention of:
- The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (the Novus Ordo “Mass” is not the Mass)
- The state of grace, mortal sin, confession (he mentions “reconciliation” once, as a morning routine before pitching)
- The Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell
- The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Rosary, the Saints
- The conversion of sinners, the salvation of souls
- The Social Kingship of Christ over nations (Quas Primas)
- The duty of the State to profess the Catholic Faith (Quas Primas, Immortale Dei)
This silence is not accidental; it is essential. The conciliar sect’s “Catholic entrepreneurship” is a purely naturalistic project. It assumes the temporal order is autonomous, that “dignified work” is the summum bonum, and that technology, capital, and “community” can build the Kingdom of God on earth without the Cross. Pius XI taught: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed” (Quas Primas). Devine’s Entravia, SENT, and the Register all operate within the framework of laicism — the very plague Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King to combat.
The Cana Family Institute and the “Small Group” Ecclesiology
The “small group at Our Lady of Grace in Edina” under the Cana Family Institute represents the ecclesiology of communion foisted upon the faithful by Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium and the 1985 Extraordinary Synod. The Church is not a federation of “small groups” for “formation” and “fellowship”; she is a hierarchical society (societas perfecta) with a divine constitution: Pope, bishops, priests, laity, each with distinct roles. The “small group” model dissolves the priest’s authority into “facilitation,” replaces the Magisterium with “reflection,” and makes the laity the primary agents of evangelization — precisely the clericalism of the laity that Pius XII warned against in Mystici Corporis Christi. Devine’s “formation… on the dignity of work and Rerum Novarum” is lay-led, lay-interpreted, and lay-applied — a Protestant conventicle in Catholic vesture.
Conclusion: The Neo-Church as Business Incubator
The article is a manifesto of the conciliar sect’s true religion: bourgeois comfort baptized by sentiment. Devine is a “former atheist” who found in the neo-church a supportive community for his risk-taking, a vocabulary for his ambition (“servant leadership,” “mission,” “vocation”), and a network of investors who share his “values.” He has not found the Pearl of Great Price (Matt. 13:46); he has found a co-working space with holy water fonts. The “giant check with the Vatican on it” is the thirty pieces of silver for a Church that has sold its birthright for a mess of pottage — or rather, for a pre-seed round.
Non est hic Deus vester — this is not your God. The true Church, the remnant faithful to Tradition, the bishops and priests who preserve the valid Sacraments and the unchanging Magisterium, have nothing to do with SENT, Entravia, the Register, or the antipope Leo XIV. Qui non est mecum, contra me est (Matt. 12:30). The only “pitch” that matters is the one made at the foot of the Cross: Consummatum est.
