The Spiritual Bankruptcy of Modernist “Evangelization” Tactics
The “Catholic News Agency” portal (December 23, 2025) reports on Fr. Manuel Chouciño’s “evangelization” efforts at the Monastery of the Divine Savior of Lérez in Spain. The article celebrates an escape room in a former Benedictine monastery and “barbecue and prayer” events as tools to attract those who “would burst into flames if they stepped inside a church.” Chouciño claims Catholics are “in vogue” due to societal exhaustion with “woke ideology,” advocating “welcoming, not judgmental” communities that mirror the father of the prodigal son. This spectacle-driven approach epitomizes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of supernatural faith.
