The Pillar portal reports on June 13, 2026, that its paid subscribers were treated to yet another installment of what passes for “Catholic conversation” in the conciliar wilderness — a podcast episode…
The Pillar portal reports on its June 13, 2026 podcast episode (Ep. 265), in which JD Flynn and Ed Condon discuss why Leo XIV did not hold an in-flight press conference returning from Spain, and recap the U.S. bishops’ June plenary assembly in Orlando. The article functions as a promotional summary of the podcast, offering no substantive theological analysis but rather a window into the media machinery of the conciliar sect. The very framing — treating the absence of a press conference as newsworthy — reveals the degree to which the neo-church has reduced the Petrine office (or rather, its occupation of it) to a matter of media management and public relations, not doctrinal authority or the governance of souls.
EWTN News reports that Spain’s Congress of Deputies is advancing a bill to “fast-track” euthanasia appeals, reducing judicial review to a single hearing before funneling cases to the Constitutional Court—which rejects 98% of such appeals. The legislation comes just months after the euthanasia of 25-year-old Noelia Castillo, whose father, Javier Castillo, has now spoken publicly for the first time through the Christian Lawyers Foundation. His testimony reveals a family systematically excluded from the process, a daughter who “deceived” doctors into meeting the legal criteria, and a state that proved “very efficient” at administering death while offering inadequate resources for psychological treatment. The timing is particularly striking: just three days before this legislative push, members of Spain’s parliament gave a seven-minute standing ovation to the antipope Leo XIV, who rhetorically asked about the value of life—words that ring hollow before a legislature actively dismantling the last procedural safeguards against state-sanctioned killing.
EWTN News portal reports on a carefully orchestrated event during the apostolic journey of the usurper Leo XIV to Spain, specifically at the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona. The article describes how a 13-year-old blind girl, Valentina, was presented to the antipope and the Spanish monarchs to describe the tower of Jesus Christ through touch. The narrative is saturated with sentimentalism and focuses entirely on human achievement, disability, and emotional experience, while remaining utterly silent on the supernatural truths of the Faith, the state of souls, and the crisis of faith in the Church. This event is a textbook example of the post-conciliar cult of man, where the focus is shifted from the adoration of God to the celebration of human sentiment and inclusivity, a direct fruit of the modernist revolution that has gutted the Church of its divine mission.
EWTN News reports that the heads of the “Catholic” bishops’ conferences of the G7 nations issued a joint statement on June 12, 2026, ahead of the summit in Evian-les-Bains, France. The letter urges political leaders to prioritize “the dignity of the human person,” global peace, environmental stewardship, and ethical governance of artificial intelligence. While couched in the language of Catholic social teaching, this document is a textbook example of the post-conciliar Church’s capitulation to secular humanism, reducing the Faith to a set of humanitarian talking points stripped of supernatural content, doctrinal clarity, and the absolute sovereignty of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
EWTN News portal reports that Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago issued a statement on June 10, 2026, condemning the burning of a large cross in Grant Park. The incident, which occurred on June 9, involved a shirtless male with a black backpack setting fire to a cross along a sidewalk in the Loop area. Cupich stated: “We condemn in the strongest terms this action and affirm that hate has no place in our country, our city, and our hearts.” He further pledged to work with “faith and community leaders” to share the Gospel message that all are children of God. Yet this theatrical condemnation rings hollow when measured against the immutable Catholic faith — for the man who now occupies the chair of Chicago has himself spent years desecrating the true Cross of Christ through his relentless promotion of modernist apostasy, false ecumenism, and the systematic gutting of Catholic doctrine.
EWTN News portal reports that the Canadian government has introduced the Safe Social Media Act, prohibiting children under 16 from creating accounts on major social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Facebook. The bill mandates age-verification systems, requires platforms to delete existing under-16 accounts, limits addictive design features such as infinite scrolling and algorithmic feeds, and creates a new Digital Safety Commission of Canada with enforcement powers carrying penalties of up to $10 million or 3% of global annual revenue. The article notes similar legislation in Australia and France, and highlights praise from the bishops of Minnesota for state-level restrictions on social media’s addictive features for minors. What the article presents as a straightforward public health measure, however, reveals upon Catholic analysis a profound confusion about the nature of authority, the rights of parents, the limits of civil power, and the spiritual roots of the very harms it claims to address.
The Pillar Catholic portal reports on the latest arrest in the Caritas Luxembourg embezzlement scandal: Italian police detained Clarissa La Porta, a 41-year-old woman accused of laundering approximately 61 million euros ($70 million) embezzled from the Catholic charity through shell companies and falsified documents across multiple European countries. The scandal, which erupted in July 2024, led to the effective dissolution of Caritas Luxembourg—founded in 1932—and its replacement by a new entity, Hellëf um Terrain. This case is not merely a financial crime but a symptom of the profound spiritual and institutional decay within the post-conciliar “Catholic” apparatus, where the absence of supernatural oversight and doctrinal fidelity has created fertile ground for corruption, fraud, and the betrayal of the faithful’s trust.
The National Catholic Register reports that the Vatican usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) concluded a weeklong trip to Spain on June 12, 2026, visiting Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands, where he met with civic leaders, migrant advocacy groups, held a “Mass” at the Sagrada Familia basilica, and celebrated another in Tenerife before a papal aircraft malfunction forced him to depart on the Spanish king’s personal plane. This entire spectacle is a textbook demonstration of the conciliar sect’s reduction of the Church’s supernatural mission to naturalistic humanitarianism and political theater.
National Catholic Register portal (June 12, 2026) reports that the usurper Leo XIV, in a message read at the Becket Fund’s Canterbury Medal Gala in Philadelphia, commended the defense of “religious freedom” as “the cornerstone of any just society,” praising the organization’s 30-year effort to defend this right and linking it to the innate dignity of the human person as expressed in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. The article describes the event, held at the National Constitution Center with Independence Hall as a backdrop, where Becket Fund chairman Bill Mumma received the Canterbury Medal, and where Becket President Mark Rienzi declared that “religious freedom is at the heart of the American story,” enabling people of “differing and conflicting beliefs to live together in peace.” The article lists past medalists including Elie Wiesel, an Orthodox rabbi, and a Latter-Day Saint leader. This message from the Vatican usurper represents the formal coronation of the very heresy of religious liberty that the true Church has consistently condemned as a rebellion against the Kingship of Christ and the social reign of God.
