Indiana Bishops’ “Ecological Letter”: A Modernist Manifesto Dressing Apostasy in Gardening Gloves
EWTN News portal reports: On April 8, 2026, the five “bishops” of Indiana—Archbishop Charles Thompson, Bishop Kevin Rhoades, Bishop Robert McClory, Bishop Timothy Doherty, and Bishop Joseph Siegel—released a pastoral letter urging Catholics to adopt an “integral ecology” framework, echoing the modernist encyclical *Laudato Si’* by antipope Francis. The letter, released during the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope (a conciliar fabrication), calls for sustainable farming, renewable energy, care for the poor, and even gardening as a spiritual practice, while invoking “Christian hope” and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Cardinal Michael Czerny, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, praised the letter as a “thoughtful contribution.” This pastoral missive is not a call to repentance or the supernatural life, but a textbook example of the conciliar sect’s reduction of the Faith to naturalistic humanitarianism and environmental activism, dressed in the language of piety.
