The EWTN News portal (January 29, 2026) reports that Czech Catholic and Protestant leaders condemned parliamentary speaker Tomio Okamura’s criticism of Ukrainian refugees, framing it as an attack on “civilization.” This performative solidarity exposes the conciliar sect’s surrender to humanitarianism over Catholic truth.
EWTN News reports that a federal grand jury indicted James Owens, former treasurer of the Norbertine abbey of Santa Maria de la Vid near Albuquerque, for allegedly embezzling over $2 million between May 2022 and March 2023. The indictment claims Owens used his position to transfer funds into personal accounts, purchasing a home in Placitas while overseeing a retreat center expansion project. Charged with 32 counts including wire fraud and tax evasion, he faces up to 20 years imprisonment. The Norbertine community, established in 1995 on former Dominican property, describes itself as having an “everlasting presence” through its cemetery.
EWTN News reports (January 29, 2026) that antipope Leo XIV urged members of the Regnum Christi federation to “renew their charism” and embrace “servant leadership.” The article describes this paramasonic structure – born from the morally bankrupt legacy of Marcial Maciel – as a “spiritual family” with four “vocations,” while ignoring the theological abominations inherent in its foundation. The antipope allegedly encouraged “communal discernment” and “new forms of governance,” framing these revolutionary concepts as fidelity to their “charism.”
EWTN News portal (January 29, 2026) reports that “Pope Leo XIV” urged the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) to provide “clear doctrinal guidance” amidst declining religious belief, particularly among youth. The article highlights his praise for recent documents including Dignitas Infinita and Una Caro, while conspicuously omitting mention of the controversial Fiducia Supplicans declaration permitting blessings for same-sex couples. The “pope” lamented that many live “without any reference to God and to the Church,” framing the DDF’s work as necessary for addressing “new phenomena” in a “change of era.” This theatrical display of doctrinal concern constitutes not guidance but the systematic dismantling of Catholic truth.
The EWTN News portal (January 29, 2026) reports on a Luxembourg conference co-organized by the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE), featuring Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich’s claims that peace in Ukraine and Europe requires “personal conversion” alongside political solutions. The article quotes “Pope” Leo XIV’s message urging “shared moral foundations” for peacebuilding, while Ukrainian MP Halyna Yanchenko warns against territorial compromises with Russia. The conference frames Catholic social teaching as a tool for technocratic crisis management, omitting the necessity of Christ’s Kingship over nations.
The EWTN News portal (January 29, 2026) reports on the “Greater Than” campaign by Them Before Us, which claims children are victims of same-sex marriage legalization. The initiative decries how Obergefell v. Hodges “threatened children’s rights to have a mother and father,” citing IVF abuses like a California couple creating 20+ children and a sex offender obtaining a child through reproductive technologies. Supported by groups including CatholicVote and Word on Fire Institute, spokeswoman Katy Faust argues: “children are Greater Than adult desires” and seeks Obergefell’s reversal to restore “the unique love and guidance only a mother and father can provide.” The campaign notably avoids condemning homosexual persons outright, asserting that while “a woman who identifies as a lesbian can be a loving mother… Children need, deserve, and have a right to both” parents. This calculated appeal to secular child welfare arguments betrays a fundamental surrender of Catholic supernatural principles to naturalistic pragmatism.
Social Media Circus Replaces Monastic Silence as Neo-Church Promotes Personality Cult
EWTN News reports on Sister Marta González Cambronero, a 28-year-old perpetually professed Benedictine nun from Sahagún, Spain, who maintains massive social media followings (193,000 on TikTok, 173,000 on Instagram) under the account “@marta_osb.” The article celebrates her digital apostolate which allegedly produces religious vocations despite her admission that “I’m not going to go ‘fishing’ for vocations, because that looks very bad, it seems very old-fashioned.” The report frames parental resistance to vocations as particularly strong among weekly Mass-attenders rather than atheists, while promoting the film “Sundays” about teenage vocational discernment.
EWTN News reports on a study by HarrisX and the Faith and Media Initiative claiming 92% of American media consumers believe “faith has a role in modern entertainment,” with 77% asserting such content holds broad appeal (Jan. 28, 2026). The research surveyed 12,000+ adults across religions—including 2,072 self-identified “Catholics”—about 100+ TV/movie scenes depicting faith. Key findings allege 58% find faith-themed content “more appealing,” while 61% deem it “more relatable,” including 13-15% of atheists/agnostics. Researchers recommend filmmakers avoid stereotypes and integrate faith “naturally and subtly” through “authentic emotion” and “everyday situations.” The report positions itself as a roadmap for Hollywood to create “accurate” religious portrayals.
The EWTN News article (January 29, 2026) promotes the “Journey to Redemption 2033,” a global youth initiative endorsed by the Vatican and spearheaded by Spanish “bishop” Mikel Garciandía. The project, involving pilgrimages to Rome (2025), Santiago de Compostela (2027), and Jerusalem (2033), claims to commemorate the 2,000th anniversary of Christ’s Redemption. Garciandía boasts of securing support from 196 “bishops’ conferences,” with antipope Leo XIV personally signing the initiative’s manifesto. The effort frames itself as restoring “spiritual content” to pilgrimages while exploiting social media to reach youth “who haven’t even heard of Jesus.”
The EWTN News portal (January 29, 2026) reports on the “Dominican Friars of St. Joseph” announcing their annual “rosary pilgrimage” scheduled for September 26 at the modernist-occupied Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. The event promises “Eucharistic adoration,” “confession,” and Novus Ordo “Mass” alongside rosary recitations, with a nine-month novena beginning January 31. Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress claims this gathering “rekindles devotion to Our Lady” while expecting “more pilgrims than ever.” This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of sacramental reality with emotionalist pageantry.
