Antichurch Prelate Naturalizes Divine Chastisement in Venezuelan Catastrophe
The National Catholic Register portal, the English-language mouthpiece of the EWTN propaganda apparatus, reports on an interview granted by Carlos Márquez, the auxiliary “bishop” of the Caracas novus ordo structure, to its Spanish-language sister agency ACI Prensa. The occasion is the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026, leaving nearly five thousand dead and tens of thousands injured. Márquez, presented as a shepherd comforting his flock, declares it “tremendous pride” to seek answers for suffering, dismisses earthquakes as mere “natural processes” necessary for creation’s “evolution,” and reduces the divine promise to mere “accompaniment” in suffering. He cites the apostate Wojtyła — canonized by the antipope Bergoglio — as spiritual authority for Venezuelan resilience. The article epitomizes the naturalistic, therapeutic deformation of the Gospel that defines the conciliar sect: God is stripped of His justice, Providence is reduced to geological necessity, and the Church’s mission is reduced to psychological accompaniment.
