Reconciliation Without Justice: The Neo-Church’s Obsession with Mercy at the Expense of Truth
EWTN portal reports that on June 3, 2026, Archbishop Stanislav Přibyl of Prague, together with German Ambassador Peter Reuss, commemorated the 1945 Postoloprty massacre of ethnic Germans in Czechoslovakia—a massacre in which at least 763 civilians (some estimates range from 1,000 to 2,000) were killed by the Czechoslovak army and buried in mass graves, with no one ever convicted. The event was part of the Diocese of Litoměřice’s “Year of Reconciliation,” declared by Přibyl in 2026. The archbishop led a 10.5-mile pilgrimage from Postoloprty to Žatec, where he celebrated a “Mass of Reconciliation.” In his homily, Přibyl stated that the pilgrimage was “not just a walk from one city to another, but one through ‘the land of memory, through places where the history of our country touches on pain, guilt, helplessness, silence, and the desire for healing,'” and that “peace is not created only by words, but sometimes by steps.” He characterized the Eucharist as “the deepest place of reconciliation,” where Christ “does not proclaim that ‘the past does not matter or that sin is not sin,’ yet he does not reproach us.”
