Easter Monday’s Angelic Focus: A Modernist Distraction from the Resurrection
The National Catholic Register (April 6, 2026) reports that Easter Monday, called “Monday of the Angel,” commemorates the angel’s announcement of Christ’s resurrection to the women at the tomb. It quotes “Pope” John Paul II’s 1994 Vatican Radio explanation that the angel’s words “He is risen” were “very difficult to proclaim” for a human, and “Pope” Benedict XVI’s 2008 description of the Regina Caeli prayer as a “new ‘Annunciation’” to Mary. The article presents this liturgical focus as a central Catholic devotion, omitting any reference to the sacrificial nature of the Mass, the necessity of grace, or the authority of the true Church. This reflects a profound theological decay, reducing the Resurrection—the cornerstone of Catholic faith—to a naturalistic event mediated by a creature, while promoting the errors of modernist antipopes.
