The EWTN News portal reports on the psychological distress affecting “priests” within the conciliar structures, citing Father Wenceslao Vial, a physician and professor at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. According to Vial, nearly 30% of the adult population suffers from some form of psychological pathology, with anxiety affecting roughly 25% — figures he claims are mirrored among the clergy. He identifies warning signs such as persistent negative emotional states, fear, sadness, and anger, urging that professional help be sought without hesitation. Vial also highlights “burnout” — which he terms the “disillusioned Good Samaritan syndrome” — as a common affliction among those who serve others, attributing it not to overwork but to service that has “lost its sense of purpose.” He calls for shared responsibility, urging bishops to monitor their priests and the laity to pray for and support their pastors. This well-meaning but superficial analysis entirely ignores the root cause of the crisis: the destruction of the priesthood and the Church by the conciliar revolution.
