The ‘No Contact’ Discourse: Conciliar Sect’s Symptom Management While Ignoring the Apostasy
The National Catholic Register portal (July 20, 2026) publishes an interview with Noelle Mering, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of the forthcoming book No Contact: How a Seductive Ideology Broke Families and Friendships and How We Can Repair Them. The piece frames the surge in family estrangement — “no contact” — as an “autoimmune disorder” of society driven by individualism, “woke” ideology, therapeutic language, and social media influencers. Mering identifies COVID disagreements, voting for Donald Trump, and refusal to affirm “gender” transitions as primary catalysts. She advises parents to adopt “curiosity” and “nobility,” while urging potential estrangers to consult “trusted authority figures.” The analysis, however, remains entirely within the naturalistic, sociological framework of the conciliar sect, treating the dissolution of the family as a cultural pathology to be managed by “Christian response” rather than recognizing it as the inevitable fruit of the apostasy from the Social Kingship of Christ and the destruction of the sacramental order by the Second Vatican Council.
