Catholic News Agency reports that the Lilly Endowment distributed $60 million to seven Catholic institutions – including The Catholic University of America, University of Notre Dame, and Jesuit-run Loyola Chicago – as part of its $700 million Pathways for Tomorrow Initiative. The grants purportedly aim to “enhance educational and financial capacities” and train pastors to lead congregations “from wide variety of contexts.”
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 3, 2025) reports on the formation of a “U.S. Campaign to End the Death Penalty” (USCEPD) coalition involving modernist “Catholic” groups collaborating with organizations fundamentally opposed to Catholic moral teaching. The article promotes Sister Helen Prejean’s activism against capital punishment while celebrating declining public support for this divinely sanctioned practice.
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 3, 2025) reports on a discussion at the “Saint John Paul II National Shrine” featuring “Father” Atta Barkindo and “Father” Karam Shamasha regarding persecuted Christians in Nigeria and Iraq. The event, organized with the Knights of Columbus, showcased photographs by Stephen Rasche – senior fellow at the Religious Freedom Institute – who claims his work reveals the “spark of human dignity” in displaced Christians. Barkindo, director of The Kukah Centre, attributed Nigerian persecution to failed government policies and “Islamic ideology” rooted in pre-colonial caliphates, while Shamasha described ongoing discrimination in Iraq despite ISIS’ defeat. Both promoted grassroots mediation and U.S. political intervention as solutions.
Vatican News portal (December 3, 2025) reports on antipope Leo XIV’s visit to Turkey and Lebanon, quoting Armenian Catholic “Patriarch” Raphaël Bedros XXI Minassian’s praise for themes of “hope, unity, peace, and justice.” The article emphasizes interfaith unity, a planned 2033 ecumenical gathering in Jerusalem, and emotional appeals to collective prayer. This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church there is no salvation) in favor of humanistic sentimentality.
The VaticanNews portal (December 3, 2025) reports the Trump administration’s suspension of immigration applications from 19 nations under pretext of national security. This policy cites a recent attack by an Afghan suspect on National Guard members as justification. Concurrently, US “bishops” issued a milquetoast “Special Message” advocating for “meaningful reform” while paying lip service to human dignity. Both positions constitute a betrayal of Catholic integralism and the Social Reign of Christ the King.
Catholic News Agency reports on the defense of “Bishop” Matthew Hassan Kukah by The Kukah Centre after his denial of Christian genocide in Nigeria. Kukah claimed at a Vatican event and Knights of St. Mulumba gathering that violence against Christians lacks “intent” to qualify as genocide, dismissing reported church attacks as unverified. The Christian Association of Nigeria contradicts him, asserting systematic persecution. The Kukah Centre’s Fr. Atta Barkindo blamed media “mischaracterization,” insisting Kukah acknowledges suffering but rejects the term “genocide.” This analysis exposes the theological bankruptcy of conciliar sect leadership’s surrender to secular relativism.
The VaticanNews portal (December 3, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV will participate in the annual “homage” to a statue of the Virgin Mary near Rome’s Spanish Steps on December 8, continuing the modernist tradition begun by previous antipopes. The event involves floral offerings by fire brigades, musical performances, and ecumenical participation including the Sovereign Order of Malta. The portal emphasizes this as continuation of “tradition and devotion,” particularly noting last year’s “entrustment” of the Jubilee to Mary by antipope Francis.
[X] portal reports that Archbishop Juárez Marqués of Teresina, Brazil, declared on November 27: “We don’t need to say that Mary is co-redemptrix, that Jesus needs Mary to save humanity. Mary herself is prepared, saved by God; she is a creature of God. She makes herself the servant of her own son, but she is not co-redemptrix; she is now our intercessor.” This statement directly opposes two millennia of Catholic teaching and exposes the conciliar sect’s systematic dismantling of Marian doctrine.
The Vatican News portal (December 3, 2025) reports on flood relief efforts in Sri Lanka following Cyclone Ditwah, highlighting how “Catholic and Christian parishes and organizations” provide material aid “without distinction of ethnicity or faith.” The article quotes “Fr.” Basil Rohan Fernando describing ecumenical cooperation between religious groups and emphasizes psychological support over spiritual ministrations. This naturalistic presentation of disaster response epitomizes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of the Church’s supernatural mission.
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 3, 2025) reports that the Court of Justice of the European Union imposed recognition of homosexual unions contracted abroad on all member states, including those where such “marriage” remains illegal. While noting the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith recently reiterated marriage’s definition as between man and woman, the article fails to condemn this EU edict as a direct assault on the Social Kingship of Christ and the immutable moral order. The ruling stems from a case involving a Polish same-sex couple “married” in Germany, with the CJEU ordering Poland to recognize this union under the guise of “fundamental rights” to family life and residence.
