The Myth of Vittorio Messori: A Case Study in Conciliar Compromise
EWTN News portal reports on the death and legacy of Vittorio Messori (1941–2026), the famed papal biographer and apologist, highlighting his literary success, his “heroic” 20-year wait for a marriage annulment, and his approach to apologetics. The article, based on an interview with his Spanish editor Álex del Rosal, portrays Messori as a model Catholic who loved the Church despite personal suffering. However, a closer examination reveals a figure deeply embedded in the structures of the post-conciliar revolution, whose life and work exemplify the very Modernism that has devastated the faithful.
