Neo-Church’s ‘Summer of Saints’ Masks Apostasy With Sentimental Social Media Spectacle
The National Catholic Register, a flagship organ of the conciliar sect, publishes a blog post by senior editor Amy Smith titled “Summer of Saints Inspires on Social Media,” dated August 19, 2026. The piece curates a gallery of feel-good content: a travelogue to Ireland by Mary Harper of Liturgical Style, a podcast snippet featuring “Dominican Sister Louis Marie” reducing the communion of saints to a friendly chat (“It’s almost like asking a friend for help”), EWTN promotions for the imminent beatification of the arch-modernist Fulton Sheen and the dubious “Blessed” Solanus Casey, and a nod to the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV’s summer respite. The article epitomizes the neo-church’s substitution of supernatural faith with naturalistic sentimentality, leveraging the algorithms of the world to simulate piety while the See of Peter remains vacant and the true Mass is suppressed.
