EWTN Celebrates Americanism as Catholicism Marks 250 Years of Masonic Republic
EWTN portal reports on a July 3, 2026 interview with two conciliar academics — Kathleen Sprows Cummings of the University of Notre Dame and Christopher Shannon of Christendom College — who reflect on the “complex history of Catholicism in the United States” as the Masonic republic celebrates its 250th anniversary. The segment, hosted by Catherine Hadro on “EWTN News in Depth,” presents the gradual acceptance of Catholics into American civic life as a triumph of patriotism and sanctity, culminating in the election of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), the first U.S.-born usurper of Peter’s throne. This celebration of Americanism — condemned by Leo XIII as a heresy — exposes the neo-church’s total capitulation to the principles of the French Revolution and its rejection of the Social Kingship of Christ.
