The EWTN News article from March 5, 2026, reports on Christian villagers in southern Lebanon who, facing evacuation orders amid the escalating Iran-Israel war, have chosen to remain in their towns. It describes their refusal to leave, their organization of local watch rotations with church bells as warning signals, their appeals to the Lebanese army and the apostolic nuncio for protection, and their determination to prevent Hezbollah from using their villages as military bases. The narrative frames their stance as one of “resilience” and “stubborn determination to stay,” rooted in love for their land and community, while expressing frustration at being caught in a war they did not choose. The article concludes by noting their faith as a sustaining factor. This humanistic and geopolitical account completely omits the Catholic doctrine of the Social Kingship of Christ over nations and the consequent obligation of the state to recognize and serve the Church, as defined by pre-1958 Magisterium. The villagers’ appeals to secular authorities (Lebanese army, UNIFIL, the “Vatican’s diplomatic channels”) and their reliance on natural means of self-defense, without a single reference to the necessity of a Catholic social order, expose a profound theological and spiritual bankruptcy: a Catholicism reduced to cultural identity and natural resistance, devoid of its supernatural mission to subject all human societies to the law of Christ the King.
The cited article from EWTN News reports that certain “Catholic theologians” are urging President Donald Trump to adhere to just war doctrine during the ongoing conflict with Iran. These individuals, identified as Joseph Capizzi of The Catholic University of America and Taylor Patrick O’Neill of Thomas Aquinas College, base their counsel on the criteria found in the post-conciliar Catechism of the Catholic Church. Their analysis focuses on naturalistic principles of statecraft, “moral clarity,” and political outcomes, utterly divorcing the discussion from the supernatural ends of the true Church and the absolute primacy of Christ’s reign over nations. This represents a profound theological and spiritual bankruptcy, reducing Catholic moral theology to a mere branch of secular ethics and serving the interests of the conciliar sect’s apostasy.
Summary: The EWTN News portal reports that “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has issued a prayer intention for March 2026, focusing on disarmament and peace. The prayer, devoid of any reference to sin, grace, the Sacred Heart, or the Social Reign of Christ the King, reduces the Gospel to a generic call for “dialogue” and “trust,” echoing the naturalistic humanism condemned by Pope Pius IX. It omits the Catholic doctrine of just war, the necessity of Catholic states, and the ultimate cause of wars: the rejection of God’s law. This prayer is not a Catholic act of piety but a manifestation of the post-conciliar apostasy, promoting a false, secular peace that contradicts the unchanging faith.
reports on ongoing U.S.-Israeli military strikes against Iran with a purely secular, geopolitical narrative, completely omitting any reference to the reign of Christ the King, the moral law, or the supernatural destiny of nations. The article treats the conflict as a matter of statecraft and military strategy, devoid of the Catholic principles that must govern the use of force and the ordering of society. This framing is not neutral reporting; it is a deliberate manifestation of the secularism condemned by Pope Pius IX’s *Syllabus of Errors* and a stark repudiation of the doctrine of the Social Kingship of Christ, so clearly defined by Pope Pius XI in *Quas Primas*. The conciliar sect’s official news service thus actively promotes the very “laicism” that Pius XI identified as the plague poisoning human society.

EWTN News reports on a new Roman exhibition highlighting Pope Urban VIII’s patronage of the young Gian Lorenzo Bernini and the decade-long construction of the massive bronze Baldachin over St. Peter’s tomb. The show emphasizes the political and dynastic dimensions of the commission, the technical challenges, and the Barberini family’s self-fashioning through art, while treating the relic-like handling of excavated soil with vague religiosity. The article’s underlying assumption—that such papal artistic ambition is inherently laudable and central to Catholic identity—reveals a profound secularization of sacred art, reducing the supernatural purpose of the Church to mere cultural and political exhibition. This framing, emanating from a post-conciliar source, systematically omits the Catholic doctrine that all art must serve the worship of God and the salvation of souls, instead promoting a naturalistic humanism that aligns with the errors condemned by Pius IX and Pius X.
The Pillar Catholic reports on the publication of a book detailing the 2025 conclave that elected “Pope” Leo XIV, highlighting the accelerating erosion of the absolute secrecy mandated by canon law (Universi domenici gregis). The article notes repeated breaches—from Cardinal Tagle’s anecdote about a throat lozenge to Cardinal Sako’s disowned interview—and observes that no canonical penalties (excommunication) are applied, signaling a shift from legal obligation to cultural preference. It questions whether “Pope” Leo XIV, a canonist, will address this “new normal,” and warns that the disconnect between law and practice fosters an antinomian culture where legal validity depends on authority’s will to enforce. The article concludes that without intervention, future popes may inherit a conclave process stripped of its sacred integrity.
The Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE), a post-conciliar body, issued a statement on March 4, 2026, expressing satisfaction that the European Commission rejected the “My Voice, My Choice” initiative to fund abortions with EU money. The statement affirms that abortion “is gravely contrary to the moral law” and that women “should never feel compelled to abort due to social or economic pressure,” urging instead “effective social, economic, and health care assistance.” However, this position, while superficially correct on the intrinsic evil of abortion, is fundamentally compromised by its modernist foundations, its naturalistic reduction of the problem, and its complete omission of the necessary public reign of Christ the King over all nations, as demanded by the unchanging Catholic faith before the conciliar apostasy.
