The article from EWTN News (June 2, 2026) reports that U.S. Catholic charismatic leaders, following an audience with the antipope Leo XIV on May 30, 2026, announced the launch of “Evangelize USA,” an ecumenically-oriented initiative aimed at reigniting the Catholic charismatic renewal. The initiative, led by Deacon Darrell Wentworth, explicitly frames its mission as a response to the “new evangelization” calls of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. Its core strategy involves forming small ecumenical groups that include not only Catholics but also a Pentecostal member, with the goal of pursuing “full communion and healing animosity between local Christian denominations.” The initiative received explicit praise from Leo XIV, who called the charismatic movement “a great gift to the Church.”
This announcement is not merely a programmatic shift; it is a public, formalized synthesis of every modernist error condemned by the pre-conciliar Magisterium, dressed in the language of zeal and unity, and blessed by the highest authority of the conciliar sect. It represents the logical, terminal stage of the post-conciliar apostasy: the abandonment of the Church’s exclusive claim to truth and salvation in favor of a syncretistic, anthropocentric movement that explicitly rejects the necessity of conversion to the Catholic Faith as the sole means of salvation.
