Mother Teresa: Icon of the Conciliar Sect’s Naturalistic Humanitarianism
The National Catholic Register portal (September 4, 2026) publishes a hagiographic feature by Zelda Caldwell recounting the Panke family’s intimate memories of Mother Teresa, ten years after her “canonization” by the antipope Francis. The article details how Dr. William Panke, a surgeon at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York, provided free medical care to the Missionaries of Charity, facilitated by Msgr. William Smith of Dunwoodie Seminary, and how these “Mother Teresa Visits” (trivialized as “MTVs”) inspired his son, Msgr. Robert Panke, a presbyter of the Archdiocese of Washington, to serve the sisters in Rome. The piece culminates in the claim that Mother Teresa taught “a great example of seeing Christ in the poor and seeing Christ in each other, which is a great way to learn how to be a priest.” This narrative is not a testimony of sanctity but a manifesto of the conciliar sect’s substitution of the supernatural order with naturalistic philanthropy, elevating a false saint who epitomized religious indifferentism and the practical denial of the Social Kingship of Christ the King.
