The Pillar’s Worldly News: A Snapshot of Post-Conciliar Apostasy
The Pillar, a mainstream Catholic news outlet, reports on several items from the week of February 19, 2026: an increase in men enrolling in a propaedeutic year before seminary in France; the Holy See’s decision not to participate in President Trump’s Board of Peace; Bishop John Stika celebrating Mass at California’s largest immigration detention center; and the death of Bishop Rick Stika at age 68. Presented as routine news, these items implicitly normalize the post-conciliar Church’s abandonment of Christ’s kingship and its embrace of modernist principles. The underlying assumption is the legitimacy of the conciliar hierarchy and its worldly compromises, which constitute a betrayal of integral Catholicism. This roundup exemplifies the neo-church’s systematic omission of supernatural truths and its substitution of naturalistic humanism for the social reign of Christ the King.
