Vatican’s Mental Health Forum: Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Care
VaticanNews portal (November 5, 2025) reports on the “Ministry of Hope” conference in Rome, organized with support from the International Association of Catholic Mental Health Ministers under the patronage of the “Pontifical Academy for Life.” The event aims to strengthen the conciliar sect’s engagement with mental wellbeing through “listening, reflection, and collaboration” among “pastoral workers,” mental health professionals, and individuals with “lived experience.” The conference coincides with antipope Leo XIV’s monthly prayer intention on suicide prevention and features the launch of a document from the “Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development” on mental health in humanitarian crises. This three-day gathering epitomizes the neo-church’s surrender to secular therapeutic culture.
