The Pillar’s Naturalistic Chronicle: Legitimizing the Usurper While Ignoring the Vacant See
The Pillar, a digital outlet operating within the conciliar sect’s media apparatus, publishes its “Tuesday Pillar Post” for August 4, 2026, authored by its editor-in-chief JD Flynn. The dispatch blends a pious reflection on St. John Vianney with a survey of current events: wildfires in Spokane, the Vatican-China agreement’s latest episcopal appointments, anti-conversion laws in India, the National Eucharistic Congress, the SSPX consecrations crisis, a new Fundamental Law for Vatican City State, and a historical excursus on Bishop Claude Dubuis of Galveston. The subtext is a thoroughgoing acceptance of the post-conciliar hierarchy as the Catholic Church, treating the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) as a legitimate sovereign pontiff and the neo-church’s bureaucratic maneuvers as ecclesiastical governance. This is not Catholic journalism; it is the chronicling of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15), presented with the gauzy sentimentality that masks the apostasy.
