The Idol of Self: How the Conciliar Sect Reduces Suffering to Therapy and Abandons the Cross
EWTN News portal reports on a new book titled “H.U.G.” (“Here, Understood, and Gently held”), authored by Catholic mother Sarah-Elizabeth Pilato, which compiles over 30 testimonies from women who have experienced miscarriage and pregnancy loss. The article describes Pilato’s personal experience of losing a child at age 40, her subsequent feelings of isolation and abandonment, and her mission to provide comfort to grieving mothers through shared stories and reflection questions. The book is being distributed to hospitals, churches, urgent care centers, and therapy offices across the United States, with the goal of making women “feel seen and loved and finds hope in her future.” While the intention to comfort those who suffer is not inherently evil, this initiative—typical of the post-conciliar mentality—reduces the profound mystery of suffering, death, and the fate of unbaptized infants to a purely naturalistic, therapeutic exercise, stripping it of its supernatural dimension and offering the world’s cold comfort where only the Church’s sacramental life and immutable doctrine can truly heal.
