Conciliar ‘Cardinal’ Tamkevičius: Soviet Resistance as Substitute for Christ’s Kingship
EWTN portal reports on a new biography of the conciliar “cardinal” Sigitas Tamkevičius, SJ, portraying his KGB imprisonment and underground publishing activities in Soviet Lithuania as a model of Catholic resistance. The article, authored by Bryan Lawrence Gonsalves and dated August 29, 2026, details Tamkevičius’ founding of the Chronicle of the Catholic Church in Lithuania, his arrest in 1983, labor camp sufferings, and subsequent rise to the conciliar episcopate and cardinalate, culminating in a meeting with the apostate John Paul II. The foreword by the conciliar “archbishop” Petar Rajič, prefect of the antipope’s household, explicitly endorses the Chronicle as a testimony to “spiritual strength” rooted in the “victory of the cross.” This hagiography of a conciliar hierarch exposes the fatal substitution of naturalistic “human rights” advocacy for the integral Catholic duty of establishing the Social Kingship of Christ over nations.
