“Faith Leaders” Demand Abolition of the Death Penalty: A Surrender to the Culture of Death and the Usurpation of Divine Justice

More than 300 “faith leaders” from at least 17 religious traditions, including Catholics, sent a letter to the Ohio General Assembly urging the abolition of the death penalty, calling it “state-sanctioned murder” and affirming that it “serves no moral moral purpose.” The letter, organized by Ohioans to Stop Executions (OTSE), was supported by Catholic religious sisters and parish priests, and separately echoed by the Catholic Conference of Ohio. The Catholic Conference’s executive director, Brian Hickey, stated that lawmakers have a “unique opportunity” with House Bill 72 to “end state-sanctioned death in Ohio” while also ensuring state funds will not pay for abortion or assisted suicide, adding: “We are actively meeting with Ohio legislators and urging them to stand against the culture of death and defend the sanctity of life in all stages and circumstances, as Pope Leo XIV continues to urge Catholics and all people of goodwill to do.” This statement explicitly invokes the authority of the current antipope, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), to lend weight to the cause. The article notes that Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, a Catholic, has delayed executions due to drug procurement difficulties and is expected to issue a statement after the May 5 primary. The article cites a message from Leo XIV to activists at DePaul University, in which the antipope offered his “support to those who advocate for the abolition of the death penalty in the United States of America and around the world.” The entire campaign is framed in the language of “justice,” “redemption,” “empathy,” and “transformation” — naturalistic categories that systematically exclude the supernatural order of divine justice, the authority of the state to punish evil, and the Church’s own immutable teaching on the legitimate use of the death penalty. This is not a plea for justice; it is a wholesale capitulation to the culture of death, dressed in the vestments of false compassion, and it represents the logical terminus of the conciliar revolution’s abdication of the Church’s divine mission.

Teilhard de Chardin: The Jesuit Heretic the Conciliar Sect Wants You to Love

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

Vatican News portal reports on May 5, 2026, about the screening of the hagiographic film “Teilhard: Visionary Scientist” at the Vatican’s Filmoteca, the Jesuit Curia, and Rome’s Pontifical Gregorian University. The film, produced by American filmmakers Frank and Mary Frost over a period of fifteen years, celebrates the life and thought of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881–1955), a French Jesuit priest and palaeontologist. The filmmakers express their joy at being “accepted in Rome by the Vatican, the Jesuits, and the Gregorian University,” and describe Teilhard as someone who “engaged the world” and offered “hope for a kind of new spirituality.” The film, translated into eight languages including Mandarin, Arabic, Turkish, and Farsi, is intended for a general, non-religious audience “searching for spirituality.” This article is not merely a cultural report — it is a calculated glorification of one of the most dangerous heretics of the twentieth century, a man whose condemned writings became the very theological substrate of the post-conciliar apostasy.

USCCB Backs Trafficking Bills While Ignoring the Spiritual Roots of Modern Slavery

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News portal reports that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), through Archbishop Shelton Fabre and Bishop Brendan Cahill, has offered “unwavering support” for federal anti-trafficking legislation (S. 2241 / H.R. 4307 and H.R. 1144), praising bipartisan efforts to combat human trafficking as a “sin” while calling for increased funding for the Department of Labor and other agencies. The bishops framed their support in terms of the Church being a “steadfast voice against exploitation” and a “provider of services and pastoral care to victims.” Yet this entire intervention, typical of the conciliar sect’s modus operandi, reduces the Church’s mission to mere humanitarian activism, utterly devoid of supernatural doctrine, and reveals the bankruptcy of a structure that has abandoned its divine mandate in favor of collaboration with secular powers.

Synod’s Final Reports: “Bishop Selection” and “Emerging Issues” as Instruments of Conciliar Revolution

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

Vatican News portal reports (May 5, 2026) on the publication of the first part of the Final Report of Study Group No. 7, concerning criteria for selecting candidates for the episcopate, and the Report of Study Group No. 9, on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops, states that these reports reaffirm that “discernment” lies at the heart of selecting a bishop, while adopting specific theological criteria to address the most difficult questions facing the Church. The reports call for “synodal competencies” in bishop candidates, including the ability to “build communion, engage in dialogue, possess deep knowledge of local cultures, and show a willingness to integrate into them constructively.” They propose that consultations for bishop selection involve not only clerics but also “consecrated men and women, laymen and laywomen,” aiming to “bring out the truth as fully as possible.” Study Group No. 9 proposes a “change of paradigm” in addressing doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions, preferring the term “emerging” over “controversial,” and introduces a “principle of pastorality,” emphasizing “listening to ourselves, listening to reality, and convening different forms of knowledge.” The report specifically calls for applying these guidelines to “the experience of homosexual Catholics and the practice of active nonviolence,” using “concrete testimonies as basis for discernment.” This is not a mere administrative update; it is a further entrenchment of the conciliar revolution’s anti-hierarchical, immanentist, and modernist agenda, systematically dismantling the divine constitution of the Church and replacing immutable doctrine with a relativistic, anthropocentric “synodal” process.

Vatican II as Holy Spirit’s Guidance: A Commencement in Apostasy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register portal reports on a commencement address delivered by Timothy R. Busch at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, on April 25, 2026. Busch, founder of the Napa Institute, congratulates graduates of this institution, praising it for “cutting against the historical grain” by allegedly deepening its commitment to Jesus Christ over the past 50 years. He explicitly attributes the university’s direction to the “guidance of the Holy Spirit as given to us through the Second Vatican Council,” which he claims “breathed new life into the Church’s evangelical mission” and “empowered” the laity. Busch frames the graduates’ mission as lay leaders tasked with cultural renewal, defending human life, and navigating the rise of artificial intelligence, all while invoking the “teachings” of St. John Paul II and the “new Holy Father,” Pope Leo XIV. He concludes by quoting St. John Henry Newman on finding one’s definite service to God. The entire address is a masterclass in modernist rhetoric, presenting the conciliar revolution as a divine mandate for a naturalistic, secularized “evangelization” that fundamentally undermines the supernatural mission of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

The Neo-Church’s Contradictory Dance: Blessings for Sodomites and the Apostasy of “Pope” Leo XIV

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

National Catholic Register reports that the Vatican has publicly released a November 2024 letter from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), signed by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, categorically rejecting a German episcopal proposal to introduce ritualized blessings for same-sex couples. The letter, addressed to Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier and the entire German episcopate, reiterates that such blessings cannot be formalized or ritualized, as this would imply a “moral legitimation” of unions incompatible with Church doctrine. This decision follows the controversial 2023 document *Fiducia Supplicans*, which, while opening the possibility of non-ritualized blessings for “irregular” couples, explicitly forbade any semblance of marriage rites. The publication of this letter was prompted by its recent circulation online, causing confusion, and by statements from “Pope” Leo XIV during his return flight from Africa, where he stated the Holy See “does not agree with the formal blessing of homosexual couples,” while simultaneously lamenting that sexual matters should not be the focus of Church unity and emphasizing broader issues like “justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion.” This entire episode exposes the profound theological bankruptcy and moral cowardice of the post-conciliar structures, which, while feebly attempting to draw a line against the most egregious public displays of sodomy, continue to propagate the very errors that have led to the current crisis, all under the guise of “pastoral care” and “inclusion.”

A Pro-Life Statue in a Conciliar Parish: Idolatry Cloaked in Devotion

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register reports that an 89-year-old woman, Elaine Barker, successfully raised $35,000 to install a bronze pro-life sculpture titled *Life* by Timothy Schmalz at All Saints Parish in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The article celebrates this as a triumph of faith, highlighting Barker’s persistence, divine inspiration, and the statue’s symbolic depiction of the unborn Christ in Mary’s womb. Yet beneath this seemingly pious narrative lies a profound spiritual deception: the statue is to be installed not in a true Catholic parish offering the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, but within a post-conciliar “parish”—a structure of the neo-church that has systematically dismantled the Faith it claims to uphold. This act, however well-intentioned, risks becoming an object of idolatry rather than authentic worship, enshrining naturalistic humanitarianism where the propitiatory sacrifice of Calvary should reign supreme.

When “Mercy” Replaces Justice: The Interfaith Assault on Divine Law

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

On May 4, 2026, more than 300 “faith leaders” from at least 17 religious traditions—including Catholics, Protestants, rabbis, Muslims, Zoroastrians, and Unitarian Universalists—sent a letter to the Ohio General Assembly urging the abolition of the death penalty, declaring their opposition to “state-sanctioned murder” and invoking “restorative power of empathy and investments in transformation.” The letter was spearheaded by Ohioans to Stop Executions (OTSE) and comes as Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, a Catholic, prepares to issue a statement on the death penalty. Marsha Forson, associate director of Social Concerns at the Catholic Conference of Ohio, spoke at a news conference invoking Easter hope and declaring that “each person’s fundamental identity and value is renewed not in the good or evil [that] has done but in the invaluable self-sacrificing love of one.” The bishops of Ohio sent their own separate letter in late March also urging abolition. Brian Hickey, executive director of the Catholic Conference of Ohio, framed House Bill 72 as a way to “stand against the culture of death,” linking the death penalty to abortion and assisted suicide, and claimed alignment with “Pope” Leo XIV, who on April 24, 2026, offered “support to those who advocate for the abolition of the death penalty in the United States of America and around the world.” This interfaith campaign, draped in the language of mercy and human dignity, represents not a development of Catholic doctrine but a wholesale capitulation to the spirit of the world—a betrayal of the Church’s immutable teaching on the state’s God-given authority to inflict just punishment, including death, upon those who commit grave crimes.

The Neo-Church’s Contradictory Stance on Sodomitic Blessings Exposes Its Doctrinal Bankruptcy

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that the Vatican has published a 2024 letter from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith rejecting a German proposal for formalized blessings of same-sex couples. The letter, signed by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, reiterates that the Church cannot legitimize unions incompatible with doctrine. However, the timing of its release, amid Pope Leo XIV’s contradictory statements, reveals the conciliar sect’s fundamental incoherence on matters of sexual morality and its continued drift toward the normalization of grave sin.
