Life Fest 2026: Naturalism Masquerading as Catholic Piety
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 23, 2026) reports on “Life Fest,” an event organized by the Sisters of Life and Knights of Columbus ahead of the March for Life in Oxon Hill, Maryland. The gathering featured music from the “All the Living Band” (including a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal), veneration of relics attributed to “St. John Paul II” and “Blessed Carlo Acutis,” and testimonies from families who chose not to abort children with disabilities. The event is framed as spiritually energizing youth for pro-life advocacy yet embodies the conciliar sect’s reduction of Catholicism to humanitarian activism devoid of supernatural purpose.
