An article from Catholic News Agency (January 4, 2026) reports that “Archbishop” Samuel Kleda of Douala presided over a New Year Mass where he outlined a social agenda focused on forgiveness, justice, and peace. The text presents his vision as moral renewal through human effort while systematically excluding the supernatural foundation of Catholic social order.
Catholic News Agency portal promotes a 2026 Epiphany home blessing ritual involving chalk markings (20+C+M+B+26) and lay-administered prayers. The article claims this tradition invokes the Magi’s names (Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar) and the Latin phrase “Christus mansionem benedicat” (May Christ bless this house), while directing families to sprinkle holy water throughout their homes. This syncretic practice exemplifies the post-conciliar church’s descent into ritualistic novelty divorced from sacramental theology.
EWTN News reports on international reactions to the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, noting the Vatican’s silence and European leaders’ appeals to “international law” ahead of a UN Security Council meeting. While “Pope” Leo XIV has not yet commented, the article mentions his December warning against U.S. military intervention and L’Osservatore Romano’s description of the situation as “highly volatile.” European responses emphasize procedural legitimacy over moral order, with China and Russia condemning the operation as “armed aggression.” Venezuelan bishops issued generic calls for “prayer and national unity” devoid of doctrinal substance.
Catholic News Agency reports on Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ, presenting scientific analyses of Eucharistic miracles and the Guadalupe tilma to students at the SEEK Conference. The article emphasizes his claims that “good, scientific evidence of the Real Presence” exists through three cases: Buenos Aires (1996), Tixtla (2006), and Sokółka (2008), alongside the “inexplicable” properties of the Guadalupe image. Spitzer argues these phenomena use “the language of science” to reach a “scientifically skeptical generation.”
Catholic News Agency’s “SEEK 2026: 10 ways to be less anxious and closer to God” (January 3, 2026) promotes Mike Iverson’s psychological self-help program under Catholic branding, exemplifying the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of supernatural faith.
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 3, 2026) reports on Andrew Laubacher’s presentation at the SEEK 2026 conference in Denver, where attendees were urged to use technology as a “tool” through Humanality’s 12-week digital detox program. Laubacher emphasized statistics about decreased life expectancy and mental health issues allegedly caused by smartphone features like front-facing cameras, proposing behavioral solutions such as “being light, giving, and present” to combat digital addiction.
The EWTN News article dated January 3, 2026, reports on Gabriel Castillo – a lay evangelist affiliated with post-conciliar structures – promoting his book The Power of the Rosary at the SEEK conference. Castillo claims the rosary is “the greatest prayer for overcoming vice,” particularly pornography addiction, while advocating visualization techniques and daily repetition. His testimony includes alleged demonic encounters during his struggle with impurity, resolved through Marian devotion. The piece exemplifies the neo-church’s reduction of spiritual warfare to therapeutic self-help strategies.
Catholic News Agency’s Spanish-language outlet ACI Prensa reports on January 3, 2026, that Bishop Juan Carlos Bravo Salazar of Petare, Venezuela, urged his diocese to maintain “serenity, peace, and above all, a climate of prayer” following the U.S. military operation that deposed communist dictator Nicolás Maduro. The prelate’s Instagram statement described Venezuela’s situation as “moments of confusion, uncertainty, and pain,” while discouraging street protests and warning against sharing “unverified information.” His sole theological reference framed the crisis through vague appeals to “the Lord of Life and Peace” rather than Catholic social doctrine.
VaticanNews portal reports on a January 3, 2026 Christmas concert by the Sistine Chapel Choir attended by antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). The event featured performances beneath Michelangelo’s frescoes, Latin chants of the Pater Noster, and dedications to war-affected children. This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of sentimental humanitarianism for Catholic worship.
The Catholic News Agency reports on January 3, 2026, that U.S. military forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, transported him to New York for indictment, and announced plans for America to “run” Venezuela until arranging a governmental transition. U.S. President Donald Trump justified the intervention by claiming Maduro “emptied out their prisons [and] sent their worst and most violent monsters into the United States,” referencing the 2024 murder of Jocelyn Nungaray by illegal immigrants. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boasted of projecting American power “anywhere, anytime,” while Latin American leaders condemned the operation and Venezuelan bishops limited their response to prayer and internal communication. This brazen violation of national sovereignty exemplifies the libido dominandi (lust for domination) condemned by Catholic social teaching, executed with chilling efficiency under the humanitarian pretext of “transition.”
