The Pillar portal, in its May 15, 2026 edition, offers a weekly digest of news from the conciliar structures occupying the Vatican and their global network of pseudo-Catholic institutions. The article reports on the potential SSPX episcopal consecrations, the awarding of a Vatican honor to the Iranian ambassador, a Polish archdiocese’s experimental priest appointment model, the situation of Catholics in Myanmar, dating advice for young Catholics, Georgia’s new Orthodox patriarch, the expulsion of a priest from Israel, and the future of the Australian ordinariate. What emerges is not a portrait of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, but of a bureaucratic, modernist apparatus increasingly indistinguishable from a secular NGO — an institution that has abandoned its divine mandate in exchange for diplomatic niceties, sociological experiments, and therapeutic self-help.
The SSPX Question: Schism Within the Abomination
The article opens by posing the question: “If the SSPX consecrations happen, who exactly is excommunicated?” This framing is itself revelatory. The conciar sect’s obsession with canonical technicalities — while the entire edifice has been hollowed out by apostasy — is a masterclass in missing the forest for the trees. The Society of St. Pius X, it must be stated clearly, is not the true Church. Archbishop Lefebvre, whatever his personal intentions, consistently recognized the legitimacy of the post-conciliar usurpers, famously declaring: “give us the old Mass, that is enough for us.” This is not the language of Catholic resistance; it is the language of compromise with the enemy. He was consecrated by the Freemason Cardinal Liénart, casting grave doubt on the validity of his episcopal orders and, by extension, those he conferred.
The SSSPX and its so-called “indultist” allies are, in reality, a schism within a schism — a controlled opposition that keeps disillusioned Catholics tethered to the neo-church by offering the externals of the Traditional Latin Mass while accepting the theological revolution of Vatican II. As the False Fatima Apparitions document demonstrates, the conciliar structures are themselves a paramasonic operation. The SSPX’s contradictions — celebrating the old rite while kneeling before the new “popes” — make them not a solution but a symptom of the disease. Pius XI warned in Quas Primas that peace is only possible in the Kingdom of Christ, and that the Church demands full freedom and independence from secular authority. The SSPX, by seeking recognition from the very structures that have betrayed Christ the King, demonstrates that it has learned nothing and forgotten everything.
Diplomatic Apostasy: Honoring the Enemies of Christ
Perhaps the most scandalous item in the entire digest is the report that “the Vatican really gave a special award to the Iranian ambassador.” Let the gravity of this sink in. The conciar sect — which claims to be the Church of Jesus Christ — bestowed a formal honor upon a representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a regime that persecutes Christians, executes apostates, and openly calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. This is not diplomacy; it is apostasy. This is the logical fruit of the religious relativism condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors, which anathematized the proposition that “man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Proposition 16) and that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion, in which form it is given to please God equally as in the Catholic Church” (Proposition 18).
If the conciar sect extends this logic to Islam — and the award to the Iranian ambassador proves it does — then it has formally repudiated the dogma Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (Outside the Church there is no salvation). The Syllabus further condemns the idea that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). This award is precisely such a reconciliation — with a civilization built on the denial of Christ’s divinity and kingship. The conciliar sect does not evangelize; it genuflects.
Poland: The Church of the New Advent Experiments With Itself
The report that a “Polish archdiocese trials new priest appointment model” would be laughable if it were not so tragic. The neo-church in Poland — once the bastion of John Paul II’s supposed revival — has now devolved into a managerial experiment, treating the sacred ministry of souls as a corporate HR problem. This is the inevitable consequence of the democratization of the Church condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis, where he exposed the Modernist error that “the Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free” but rather an evolving human institution subject to the spirit of the age.
The 1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 188.4, established that any cleric who publicly defects from the Catholic faith automatically vacates his office. The “new priest appointment model” is not a reform — it is an admission that the current clergy are so compromised, so modernist, so empty of supernatural faith, that the institution must reinvent its own structures to survive. But as Pius XI declared in Quas Primas, Christ’s kingdom encompasses all men, and the state — and by extension, the Church — derives its authority not from human consensus but from God. To treat the priesthood as a matter of administrative modeling is to deny the sacramental character imprinted by the Holy Ghost. It is, in a word, blasphemy.
Myanmar and Israel: The Neo-Church’s Impotence in the Face of Persecution
The article briefly notes how “Myanmar’s Catholics are faring amid civil war” and that “Israel expels [a] priest leading West Bank youth ministry.” In both cases, the conciar sect is reduced to the role of observer and commentator — not the militant Church that once converted nations and shook empires. The true Church, as defined by the ecumenical councils and the perennial Magisterium, is a perfect society endowed with all the means necessary for its divine mission. The conciliar sect, having gutted its own supernatural identity through the reforms of Vatican II, is now powerless before the forces it once commanded.
Pius XI, in Quas Primas, proclaimed that Christ’s royal dignity demands that “all relations in the state be ordered on the basis of God’s commandments and Christian principles, both in the issuing of laws and in the administration of justice, as well as in the education and formation of youth in sound doctrine and purity of morals.” The neo-church’s response to civil war in Myanmar and the expulsion of a priest from Israel is not to proclaim the Social Kingship of Christ but to issue press releases. This is the abomination of desolation sitting in the holy place — an institution that occupies the Vatican but has emptied it of all supernatural content.
Therapeutic Catholicism: Dating Advice for the Spiritually Bankrupt
The inclusion of an item on “social media, situationships, and a ‘ring by spring’ — the complex dating world for Gen Z Catholics” in a news digest that also covers war, persecution, and ecclesiastical schism tells us everything about the priorities of the conciar sect. This is Catholicism reduced to a lifestyle magazine. The true Church, as St. Pius X taught in Lamentabili Sane Exitu, condemned the proposition that “the Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics, because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (Proposition 63).
The very concept of “Gen Z Catholics” as a demographic category worthy of targeted pastoral concern is itself a capitulation to secular sociology. The Church does not have a “youth ministry” in the Protestant sense; she has the sacraments, the doctrine of the faith, and the call to holiness. The neo-church’s obsession with relevance, with meeting people “where they are,” is the antithesis of the Catholic mission, which is to call people to where God is. As the Syllabus of Errors condemned in Proposition 58, the idea that “all the rectitude and excellence of morality ought to be placed in the accumulation and increase of riches by every possible means, and the gratification of pleasure” is precisely the error that a Church focused on “situationships” has embraced.
False Ecumenism: Georgia’s New Patriarch and Rome-Orthodox Ties
The question “What does Georgia’s new patriarch mean for Rome-Orthodox ties?” exposes the conciliar sect’s obsession with ecumenism — the false ecumenism condemned by every pope before John XXIII. The Orthodox churches are in schism, having rejected the primacy of the Roman Pontiff. To speak of “ties” with them as though this were a positive development is to deny the very purpose of the Church’s existence: the conversion of all nations to the Catholic faith.
Pope Leo XIII, in his encyclical Satis Cognitum, taught that the unity of the Church is not a goal to be achieved but a reality to be recognized — and that those outside the Catholic Church are, by that fact, outside the means of salvation. The conciliar sect’s ecumenism is not a bridge to unity but a road to dissolution. As the False Fatima Apparitions document warns, the imprecise formulation of “conversion of Russia” — without specifying Catholicism — “opens the way to religious relativism” and “can serve to legitimize dialogue with schismatic Orthodoxy.” The neo-church has taken this warning and made it its operating principle.
The Australian Ordinariate: A Museum of Anglican Nostalgia
Finally, the article quotes Bishop Lopes declaring “There is plenty of life” in the Australian ordinariate. The ordinariates for former Anglicans are among the most transparently modernist creations of the post-conciliar period — institutionalizing the entry of Protestant practices and theology into the Catholic fold under the guise of “reconciliation.” This is the latitudinarianism condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus, which rejected the idea that “every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Proposition 15).
The ordinariate is not a triumph of evangelism; it is a monument to the failure to evangelize. Instead of converting Anglicans to Catholicism, the conciliar sect has created a permanent space for Anglicanism within its structures — a halfway house between truth and error that satisfies no one and saves no one. As Pius XI declared, the Church demands full freedom and independence to lead all to eternal happiness. The ordinariate is the opposite: a concession to the spirit of the age, a surrender to the very indifferentism that the pre-conciliar Magisterium condemned without equivocation.
Conclusion: The Abomination Continues
The May 15, 2026 Pillar Post is a microcosm of everything wrong with the conciliar sect. It is an institution that awards enemies of the faith, experiments with the sacred ministry, offers dating advice instead of the gospel, pursues false ecumenism with schismatics, and celebrates the institutionalization of Protestantism — all while genuine Catholics suffer persecution in Myanmar and priests are expelled from the Holy Land. This is not the Church of Christ. This is the synagogue of Satan, which gathers its troops against the Church of Christ, as Pius IX warned in the Syllabus. The faithful must reject this neo-church entirely and cling to the immutable Tradition — the true Mass, the true sacraments, the true doctrine — which endures wherever the integral Catholic faith is professed, regardless of what transpires in the occupied Vatican.
