The Pillar Catholic portal reports that the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV, in his remarks to the Spanish bishops this month, urged the Spanish Church to reflect on and imitate the Spaniards who evangelized Spain and the world in the 15th and 16th centuries. He particularly cited the example of the “famous holy mufti [Islamic religious leader] of Granada, Friar Hernando de Talavera.” The article asks who Talavera was and what he has to teach about evangelization in the 21st century. The article’s tone is one of admiration for a figure who, in reality, embodies the very religious indifferentism and syncretism that the pre-conciliar Church condemned without compromise. By holding up Talavera as a model, Leo XIV reveals the naturalistic, modernist DNA of the conciliar revolution and its utter betrayal of the missionary mandate of the true Church.

The National Catholic Register portal reports on a Brazilian couple, Audato and Ieda Denardi, sentenced to 50 days in prison for the “intellectual neglect” of their two daughters, aged 15 and 11, whom they homeschool according to traditional Christian values. The judge’s ruling explicitly cited the absence of state-mandated “gender and sex education” and the girls’ lack of affinity for popular music as evidence of educational deficiency, despite the children being advanced pianists and polyglots. The prosecution itself had requested acquittal, and an independent psychologist found no sign of neglect. This case is not an anomaly but a logical, violent manifestation of the secular state’s totalitarian claim to form the souls of children, a claim rooted in the same naturalistic ideology that the post-conciliar structures have failed to combat, instead baptizing it under the guise of “human rights” and “tolerance.”

EWTN News portal reports on a Brazilian couple, Audato and Ieda Denardi, sentenced to 50 days in prison for the “crime” of intellectual neglect, simply because they dared to shield their children from the toxic gender ideology promoted by the state. This case is not an isolated incident of legal overreach but a glaring manifestation of the totalitarian spirit inherent in the post-conciliar world, where the secular state, acting as the enforcer of the world’s ideology, usurps the primary, inalienable right of parents to educate their children according to the immutable truths of the Catholic faith.
The Denardi case exposes the profound hypocrisy of a world that claims to champion “human rights” while systematically dismantling the most fundamental God-given right: the right of parents to raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. The Brazilian court’s ruling, which criminalizes parents for failing to include state-approved “gender and sex education” in their curriculum, is a direct assault on the integrity of the family and the natural law. The judge’s reasoning—that the girls’ rejection of “morally questionable” popular music and their focus on classical piano and languages constitutes a “deficiency” in their cultural education—is a grotesque parody of justice. It reveals a state that views the formation of virtue and piety as a threat to its secularist agenda.
This persecution is a direct consequence of the post-conciliar Church’s capitulation to the world. The Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on Christian Education, *Gravissimum Educationis*, while paying lip service to the role of parents, opened the door to state intervention by emphasizing the need for education to adapt to the “modern world” and promote a vague “solidarity” with all men. This conciliar document, a product of the modernist spirit, failed to reaffirm the absolute primacy of parents and the Church in education, instead ceding ground to the secular state. The Brazilian court’s actions are the logical fruit of this conciliar ambiguity. When the Church no longer asserts its divine mandate to teach all nations, the state will inevitably fill the void with its own dogmas of secularism, relativism, and ultimately, Satanism.
The case also highlights the utter bankruptcy of the “religious liberty” rhetoric promoted by the post-conciliar Church and its apologists. While organizations like ADF International rightly denounce this as a “grotesque abuse of criminal law,” they fail to trace the root of the problem. The root is not merely a bad law in Brazil; it is the entire post-conciliar framework that has reduced the Church to a mere “NGO” within the secular order, stripped of her divine authority and her mission to guide nations. The Brazilian state is simply applying the logic of the world: if there is no absolute truth, if all values are relative, then the state becomes the ultimate arbiter of what constitutes a “good” education. The Denardis are being punished for refusing to submit their children to the state’s new religion of gender ideology.
The persecution of the Denardi family is a stark reminder of the prophetic warnings of Pope Pius XI in his encyclical *Quas Primas*: “When God and Jesus Christ – as we lamented – were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The Brazilian state, by imprisoning parents for educating their children according to Christian values, has declared itself an enemy of Christ the King. This is not merely a “dictatorial” state, as Mrs. Denardi correctly perceives; it is a satanic state, one that seeks to destroy the family, the foundational cell of society and the Church. The only true response is a return to the integral Catholic faith, a complete rejection of the conciliar “Church” and its false “dialogue” with the world, and a public, unwavering profession of the social reign of Christ the King over all nations, including Brazil. Anything less is a capitulation to the abomination of desolation that now occupies not only the Vatican but increasingly, the courts of the world.
The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, as described by Jeffrey Bruno on the EWTN News (NCRegister) portal (June 24, 2026), is a modernist spectacle that reduces the Eucharistic Lord to a mere symbol of national unity and personal sentiment, while entirely omitting the Church’s mandatory mission to convert the United States to the Catholic Faith and publicly acknowledge the Social Kingship of Jesus Christ. The article romanticizes a boat ride on the Chesapeake Bay as a metaphor for faith, yet is silent on the objective Real Presence, the propitiatory sacrifice of the Mass, and the duty of the nation to submit to the reign of Christ the King. This pilgrimage is not a true act of public Catholic worship, but a naturalistic, ecumenical parade that serves the conciliar sect’s false spirit of “unity” without truth.
The National Register reports that the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has issued an open letter and a so-called “declaration of faith” to the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV and the College of Cardinals on June 24, 2026. This theatrical move comes ahead of an extraordinary consistory and the SSPX’s planned episcopal consecrations on July 1 without papal approval. The Vatican has warned these consecrations would constitute a schismatic act resulting in automatic excommunication. The SSPX’s declaration contains 154 statements supposedly defending traditional teachings on sacraments, divine revelation, the Virgin Mary, rejection of ecumenism, and fidelity to the Traditional Latin Mass. This entire episode reveals the bankruptcy of those pretending to be traditional Catholics who, while rejecting some post-conciliar novelties, continue to acknowledge the very source of the Church’s destruction.
