Vilnius Mercy Congress Promotes Modernist Apostasy Under Guise of Piety
The EWTN News portal (January 26, 2026) reports on the Sixth World Apostolic Congress on Mercy (WACOM 6) scheduled in Vilnius, Lithuania, presided over by “Archbishop” Gintaras Grušas. The article promotes a naturalized concept of mercy divorced from repentance and justice, centering on devotion to the false mystic Faustina Kowalska and her confessor Michał Sopoćko. Emphasis is placed on “building a city of mercy” through emotional solidarity rather than doctrinal fidelity, with explicit endorsements of antipopes John Paul II and Francis. This event exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic replacement of Catholic soteriology with anthropocentric sentimentality.
