The National Catholic Register reports on the anniversary of the bombing of St. Elias Church in Damascus, highlighting the resilience of Syrian Christians and the humanitarian response of various church groups and “ecumenical” entities. While the physical rebuilding progresses, the article reveals a profound spiritual void where the uncompromising Catholic duty of resistance and the primacy of the true Faith are replaced by naturalistic humanitarianism and a dangerous ecumenical spirit.

The National Catholic Register portal reports that a group called “Catholic Voices for Israel” (CVFI), co-founded by André Villeneuve and “Father” Antoine Lévy, OP, has issued an open letter to the antipope Leo XIV, demanding clarification on whether Catholics should interpret the creation and enduring existence of the State of Israel as a sign of God’s providence. The group’s founding statement, “For Zion’s Sake,” calls for “Catholic Zionism,” asserting that God’s promises of land to Israel were “never revoked in the New Testament” and urging Catholics to see “divine providence in Israel’s return to the land.” The letter laments the Church’s “theological silence” and claims this silence empowers those who deny any theological significance to Israel’s existence. This initiative is a direct and logical fruit of the post-conciliar revolution, which, having jettisoned the Church’s supernatural framework, now seeks to instrumentalize Sacred Scripture for a political and naturalistic project, thereby compounding its apostasy.
