The Vance Family’s “Mass” and the Religion of Comfort

The National Catholic Register reports on U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha discussing their family’s “Mass” attendance practices, including having priests celebrate “Mass” at their home. The article highlights Vance’s conversion to Catholicism and his upcoming memoir, while also noting the logistical challenges and “creature comforts” associated with their high-profile status. This seemingly benign report on a public figure’s faith journey reveals a profound spiritual malaise: the reduction of the Most Holy Sacrifice to a matter of personal convenience, comfort, and social accommodation, utterly divorced from the sacred, transcendent, and demanding nature of true Catholic worship.

The Diaconate as Gateway to the World: A Modernist Vision of Priesthood

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

NC Register portal (June 15, 2026) published a commentary by Deacon Dominic Cerrato titled “The Priesthood Enters the World Through the Diaconate,” addressed to candidates for the transitional diaconate. The article presents the diaconate not merely as a sacramental order but as a spiritual disposition that should permanently shape the priestly identity, emphasizing service, humility, and relational ministry over authority, governance, and sacrificial worship. While cloaked in pious language, this vision subtly redefines the Catholic priesthood in terms consonant with post-conciliar modernism—prioritizing horizontal, worldly engagement over vertical, supernatural worship—and thus warrants rigorous critique from the standpoint of integral Catholic doctrine.

Global Marian Eucharistic Procession: A Parade of Modernist Apostasy Disguised as Devotion

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The EWTN News portal reports that on June 13, 2026, the city of Derry in Northern Ireland hosted a “worldwide coordinated Marian Eucharistic procession,” involving over 550 parishes and 15 Marian shrines across six continents. Organized by Barry Mallett of the “Guardians of the Faith,” the event was framed as an act of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, linked to the feasts of Our Lady of Fátima and St. Anthony of Padua. Participants included Father Roland Colhoun, who spoke of “contemplative peace,” and Father Patrick Desmond, OP, who expressed excitement about the “renewal of the Church.” The procession concluded at the Long Tower Church, associated with the “Servant of God” Sister Clare Crockett. What appears as a triumph of Catholic piety is, upon rigorous examination, a textbook manifestation of the post-conciliar apostasy — a syncretistic, modernist spectacle that substitutes true devotion for emotional nationalism, false ecumenism, and the veneration of unapproved apparitions, all under the banner of a Church that has long since abandoned its divine mission.

Catholic Bishops Back Jewish Prayer Lawsuit, Exposing the Bankruptcy of “Religious Liberty” in a Godless Republic

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register reports that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has filed an amicus brief backing Daniel Grand, a Jewish resident of University Heights, Ohio, in a lawsuit against the city for blocking his home prayer group (minyan). The case, now before the U.S. Supreme Court, challenges the “finality” rule requiring plaintiffs to exhaust all government options before suing. The bishops argue that religious plaintiffs have standing “as soon as a credible threat arises” and that prolonged court processes constitute “constitutional harm.” Grand seeks to host about a dozen friends for prayer at his home, framing it as a simple act of speaking to God. This case reveals the profound theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the post-conciliar Catholic hierarchy’s engagement with secular “religious liberty” within a system fundamentally ordered against Christ the King.

The “Perk” of Home Masses: JD Vance and the Privatization of the Most Holy Sacrifice

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News portal reports that U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance discussed their family’s Mass attendance practices, including the “perk” of having priests celebrate Mass at home due to security concerns. Vance, who converted to Catholicism, also promoted his memoir “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.” This article, while seemingly innocuous, reveals a profound misunderstanding and trivialization of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, reducing a sacred obligation and the source and summit of Christian life to a matter of personal convenience, “creature comfort,” and logistical negotiation, thereby reflecting the very essence of modernist indifferentism and the privatization of faith that the pre-conciliar Church unequivocally condemned.

Preservation of Eastern Rites as a Tool of False Ecumenism and Religious Indifferentism

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that on June 15, 2026, the antipope Leo XIV received a delegation of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, encouraging them to preserve and promote “the inestimable treasures incarnated by all the Eastern Churches” within the diaspora in Europe and the United States. He praised their “evangelical energy,” “apostolic charity,” and contributions to “social justice, education, and integral human development,” while appointing an apostolic visitator to oversee their pastoral care. This address, steeped in the language of conciliar ecumenism, reveals the ongoing subversion of Catholic doctrine through the elevation of schismatic traditions and the naturalistic reduction of the Church’s mission.

The “Finality” Dodge: How Secular Courts and a Conciliar Bishops’ Conference Pervert Justice and Mock the Kingship of Christ

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports on a lawsuit backed by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), wherein a Jewish resident, Daniel Grand, challenges the city of University Heights, Ohio, for blocking a home prayer group. The case, now before the U.S. Supreme Court, seeks to overturn the legal “finality” rule, which requires plaintiffs to exhaust all governmental options before suing. While the superficial narrative champions “religious liberty,” a deeper analysis reveals a profound theological and spiritual bankruptcy inherent in the post-conciliar Catholic approach to the secular state, one that implicitly denies the Social Kingship of Christ and the Church’s divine mandate to judge the world.

Magnifica Humanitas: Modernist Anthropocentrism Disguised as Catholic Social Teaching

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Register commentary by Paolo Carozza, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame and co-chair of Meta’s “Oversight Board,” attempts to present “Pope” Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas as a profound meditation on human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. Carozza argues that the encyclical’s true brilliance lies not in its treatment of technology but in its supposed deepening of the Church’s understanding of human dignity—its relational character, its unity of body, mind, and spirit, and even its relationship to human frailty and limitation. What Carozza’s enthusiastic endorsement reveals, however, is not the profundity of the conciliar sect’s magisterium but the utter bankruptcy of its theological method: a naturalistic, anthropocentric humanism that reduces the supernatural destiny of man to a horizontal, worldly project of “flourishing,” while systematically evading the only framework within which human dignity can truly be understood—the framework of original sin, redemption through the Cross, and the absolute sovereignty of Christ the King over all dimensions of human existence.

Leo XIV’s Empty Words to the Elderly While the Church Burns

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register portal reports that the current occupant of the Vatican, Leo XIV, has issued a message for the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, scheduled for July 26, 2026, under the theme “I Will Never Forget You.” The message, saturated with therapeutic language and naturalistic humanism, addresses the loneliness of the elderly, speaks of God’s love as a response to “anonymity,” and invites the young to visit their grandparents. It is a document that, while superficially pious, reveals the complete theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar sect: a Church that has abandoned its supernatural mission to become a humanitarian NGO, offering platitudes where it should offer the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the sacraments, and the unchanging doctrine of salvation. That the message originates from the structures occupying the Vatican — structures that have systematically dismantled the Catholic faith — renders it not merely inadequate but spiritually dangerous, a wolf in shepherd’s clothing.

The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors: A Decade of Bureaucratic Expansion Without Repentance

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The Pillar portal reports on the revised statutes of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors (PCPM), approved by “Pope” Leo XIV on May 20, 2026, and published in the official gazette. The article details the evolution of the PCPM from a small advisory body established in 2014 to a complex bureaucratic structure embedded within the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith under Praedicate evangelium. The new statutes expand membership from 18 to 23, extend terms from three to five years, introduce regional groups and consultants, and formalize monitoring, reporting, and training functions. The article presents these developments as progress in addressing clerical sexual abuse, noting the commission’s role in promoting “dignity and respect” for survivors and establishing reporting systems in all dioceses. Yet beneath this veneer of institutional reform lies a profound spiritual bankruptcy: the conciliar sect continues to treat a supernatural crisis of apostasy and moral collapse as merely an administrative problem requiring bureaucratic solutions, while the true causes—Modernism, the destruction of Catholic moral theology, and the abandonment of the Church’s divine constitution—remain unaddressed and unrepented.
