The National Catholic Register publishes a meditation by Father Raymond J. de Souza on the Fifth Word from the Cross, “I thirst.” The article reinterprets this phrase through the lens of St. Teresa of Calcutta, claiming it expresses Jesus’s thirst for souls and links it to the Beatitudinal “hunger and thirst for righteousness.” It then pivots to a discussion of justice in politics, contrasting the “thirst for justice” with St. Augustine’s “libido dominandi” (lust for domination). The piece praises the new “Pope Leo XIV” as a “son of St. Augustine” and concludes with a call to adore Christ’s sacrifice, framed within a naturalistic political contest. The article’s core thesis is that “I thirst” primarily calls for a horizontal, societal pursuit of justice, defeating domination through Christ’s example, while omitting the supernatural, ecclesiological, and dogmatic dimensions of the Cross.

The cited article from Pillar Catholic reports a record number of baptisms in France for 2026, with 21,386 catechumens baptized at the Easter Vigil, up from 17,788 in 2025. It details demographics, motivations (e.g., 40% prompted by challenging life experiences, 34% by questions about Christianity), and post-baptismal support initiatives. The article presents this as a “joyful development” and a sign of revival, quoting Archbishop Olivier de Germay of Lyon, who oversees the catechumenate for the French bishops, stating the Church’s challenge is to support catechumens to become “disciples” and “full-fledged members of parish communities.”
This statistical celebration, emanating from the post-conciliar ecclesiastical structure, is not a revival but a stark manifestation of the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the Modernist “Church of the New Advent.” The report’s focus on numbers, demographics, and subjective experiences, while omitting the supernatural essence of baptism, exposes a complete reduction of the sacramental economy to naturalistic sociology. More gravely, from the perspective of integral Catholic faith, every single baptism administered by the French bishops—who are in formal communion with the manifest heretic “Pope” Leo XIV—is null and void, rendering the entire “boom” a monumental act of spiritual deception, leading souls not to salvation but to the peril of eternal damnation.
The Omission of Catholic Social Teaching: Why the “Outrage” is Misplaced

The article from the National Catholic Register (April 1, 2026) reports that following an attack on the Christian town of Al-Suqaylabiyah in Syria, the Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch and most other Churches in Syria announced the scaling back of Easter celebrations to “prayers inside churches only,” citing “the current discouraging circumstances.” The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch condemned the attack but framed its response in terms of “citizenship,” “integration,” and the state’s duty to provide security, while a U.N. report on broader violence, including against Druze civilians, is presented as contextual background.
This response is not a prudent pastoral measure but a spectacular manifestation of the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the post-conciliar “Church,” which has completely abandoned the Social Kingship of Christ and the duty of public confession of the Faith, reducing Christianity to a private, timid cult utterly subservient to the naturalistic principles of the world.
