Trump Purges Science Board as Catholic Academics Bow to Secular Power

Leave a Comment / World /

EWTN News portal reports that U.S. President Donald Trump has dissolved the National Science Foundation’s governing board, which included two senior staff members from The Catholic University of America (CUA). Aaron Dominguez (CUA Executive Vice President and Provost) served as vice chairman of the National Science Board (NSB), while Victor McCrary (CUA Vice Provost) served as its chair before all 22 board members were fired on April 24, 2026. The White House cited constitutional questions raised by the 2021 Supreme Court case U.S. v. Arthrex, which addressed whether non-Senate confirmed appointees can exercise certain executive authorities. The NSB oversees the NSF, advises the president and Congress on science policy, approves funding awards, and publishes influential reports on U.S. science priorities. Both CUA and the affected individuals declined to comment.

Mary’s Voice in St. John’s Gospel: A Commentary Devoid of Supernatural Depth

Leave a Comment / Spiritual /

The National Catholic Register portal reports on a commentary by Michael Pakaluk, “Mary’s Voice in the Gospel According to John,” which proposes that the Blessed Virgin Mary’s influence is a hidden yet pervasive “oversound” throughout the Fourth Gospel, shaping its distinctive characteristics due to her thirty years of shared life with St. John. While the article presents an intriguing literary and historical premise, it ultimately reduces the profound supernatural reality of the Gospel to a mere humanistic exercise in psychological projection and sentimentalism, characteristic of the post-conciliar era’s shallow engagement with sacred texts.

The Narcissus Trap: AI Wearables and the Risk of Self-Obsession

Leave a Comment / Antichurch /

NC Register portal reports on the dangers of wearable AI devices, warning that users could become obsessed with their own data, much like Narcissus with his reflection. The article discusses various devices like the Oura Ring, Nirva pendant, and Nuna Emotion Tracking Pendant, which collect and analyze vast amounts of personal health and emotional data. It also references a message from “Pope” Leo XIV for the World Day of Social Communications, warning about the risks of AI altering human communication and identity. The article concludes by urging readers not to let technology distract them from seeking self-knowledge in relation to their Creator. While the article attempts to address a genuine spiritual danger, its analysis remains superficial, failing to root itself in the unchanging Catholic doctrine on the nature of man, the purpose of creation, and the absolute primacy of the supernatural life, instead relying on modernist frameworks and a conciliar “pontificate” for its ultimate authority.

Peter’s Pence Lawsuit Exposes the Bankruptcy of Conciliar Stewardship

Leave a Comment / Antichurch /

National Catholic Register portal (April 29, 2026) reports on the lawsuit United States Conference of Catholic Bishops v. O’Connell, in which a Rhode Island parishioner alleges he was misled about the use of his Peter’s Pence donation, claiming funds were directed to luxury real estate and Hollywood productions rather than to the poor. The USCCB, represented by Becket, has petitioned the Supreme Court, invoking the First Amendment’s church-autonomy doctrine. Legal analyst Andrea M. Picciotti-Bayer argues that the case raises urgent constitutional questions while simultaneously urging Catholics to be “informed givers” who practice “prudent stewardship.” The article frames the dispute as both a defense of religious liberty and an internal Catholic responsibility. This framing itself reveals the profound theological confusion of the concilar era: the reduction of sacred ecclesial governance to a matter of corporate nonprofit management, and the subordination of divine law to secular legal frameworks.

A Modernist’s Baptismal Gratitude: Omitting the Supernatural for the Sake of a Naturalistic Communion of Saints

Leave a Comment / Antichurch /

George Weigel, writing for the National Catholic Register, offers a personal reflection on the 75th anniversary of his baptism, focusing on the “communion of saints” as a “great cloud of witnesses” encountered through various individuals in his life. While superficially touching on Catholic themes, the article reveals a profoundly naturalistic and modernist understanding of sanctity and the Church, conspicuously omitting any mention of the supernatural means of grace, the necessity of the true Church for salvation, the reality of original sin’s remission, or the ultimate purpose of baptism – eternal life with God through the merits of Christ’s sacrifice. Instead, Weigel presents a sentimentalized, human-centric view where “sanctity” is equated with admirable human qualities or experiences, reducing the profound mystery of incorporation into Christ to a mere sociological or emotional connection with exemplary figures, many of whom are products of or aligned with the conciliar revolution.

When the Neo-Church Becomes a Government Subcontractor

Leave a Comment / Antichurch /

NC Register portal reports that Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami (CCADM) announced the layoff of more than 80 employees after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declined to renew an $11 million federal contract serving unaccompanied immigrant children. Archbishop Thomas Wenski called the decision “baffling,” noting the program’s “competence and excellence,” and warned that services would be “forced to shut down within three months.” The Msgr. Bryan Walsh Children’s Village, housing up to 81 undocumented immigrant minors, faces closure. The layoffs, described as permanent, were executed without the standard 60 days’ notice due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The article presents this as an institutional misfortune, a disruption of charitable services by federal policy shifts.

Ecclesiastical Communion Granted to Chaldean Patriarch: A Symptom of the Conciliar Sect’s False Ecclesiology

Leave a Comment / Antichurch /

EWTN News portal reports that on April 24, 2026, the usurper Robert Prevost, known as “Pope Leo XIV,” granted so-called “ecclesiastical communion” to Mar Paul III Nona, the newly elected patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church, thereby formally recognizing him as head of an Eastern Catholic Church “in full communion with Rome.” The article explains that this act of “ecclesiastical communion” is the canonical mechanism by which the conciliar apparatus in the Vatican extends its authority over autonomous Eastern Churches, enabling the new patriarch to exercise his ministry, convene synods, and ordain bishops. The article further notes that this follows the resignation of Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako amid a legal and financial scandal. This entire narrative, presented with liturgical solemnity and bureaucratic precision, is a textbook illustration of how the post-conciliar sect perpetuates its counterfeit ecclesiology, reducing the supernatural reality of the Church’s unity to a mere administrative act within a globalized religious corporation, while remaining utterly silent on the state of apostasy that defines the conciliar era.

Celestial Honors for a Usurper: The Neo-Church’s Cosmic Vanity

Leave a Comment / Antichurch /

The EWTN News portal reports that the Vatican Observatory has named an asteroid “Gioacchinopecci” after the individual who occupied the Chair of Peter under the name Leo XIII, alongside asteroids named for other figures tied to the institution’s history. The article presents this as a celebration of the “Church’s” supposed harmony with science, quoting the 1891 motu proprio *Ut Mysticam* to suggest that the “Church” has always embraced “true and solid science.” The piece further notes that Leo XIII is the third “pope” to receive such an honor, following Gregory XIII and Benedict XVI, and that the observatory’s telescopes were relocated from Rome to Castel Gandolfo and eventually to Arizona due to light pollution. What the article conceals beneath its veneer of pious scientific celebration is the profound theological rot of a conciliar sect that dares to invoke the name of a true pontiff while systematically dismantling everything he defended.

Catholic Charities Layoffs Expose the Bankruptcy of Neo-Church Social Action

Leave a Comment / Antichurch /

EWTN News reports that Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami will lay off more than 80 employees after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services canceled an $11 million federal contract serving vulnerable children, including unaccompanied undocumented minors. The Msgr. Bryan Walsh Children’s Village, housing up to 81 children, faces closure. Archbishop Thomas Wenski called the cuts “baffling” and urged reinstatement of funds. This episode lays bare the fundamental incompatibility between the post-conciliar Church’s social mission and the integral Catholic understanding of charity, sovereignty, and the reign of Christ the King.

Supreme Court Ruling Exposes the Persecution of Faith by Secular Authorities

Leave a Comment / Antichurch /

The EWTN News Staff Nation reports that on April 29, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, a faith-based pregnancy center in New Jersey, allowing it to challenge a state subpoena demanding the disclosure of donor information—including names, addresses, and places of employment—in federal court. The case, *First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Davenport*, originated from a 2023 subpoena issued by New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin, who claimed these centers might provide “false or misleading information about the safety and legality of abortion.” The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops argued in an amicus brief that such compelled disclosure violates constitutional religious freedom protections. While the ruling permits the challenge to proceed federally, this case reveals not merely a legal dispute but a deeper spiritual crisis: the systematic persecution of Catholic charitable works by a godless state apparatus, all while the institutional Church remains silent on the root cause—its own internal apostasy.
