Madrid Archdiocese Scrambles to Offer Confession After Lay “Listening Centers” Expose Conciliar Priorities

The Pillar reports that the Archdiocese of Madrid, facing criticism for its initial lack of concrete plans for sacramental confession during the upcoming youth vigil with the antipope Leo XIV, has hastily asked parishes to open their churches for confessions. This scramble follows the announcement of “listening centers” staffed by lay people, which were presented as a primary spiritual offering for young people, seemingly overshadowing the sacrament of reconciliation. The article highlights internal disagreements within the organizing committee, with some members arguing that confession was not necessary for youth events, while others proposed a “day of reconciliation” that was ultimately discarded.

Magnifica Humanitas: The Neo-Church Blesses the Machine Age With Empty Words on “Human Dignity”

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

EWTN News reports that U.S. “bishops” have praised Leo XIV’s first encyclical, *Magnifica Humanitas*, on artificial intelligence, echoing its concern for “human dignity” and the “common good.” The “bishops” encourage “people of goodwill” to reflect on these teachings, which focus on the ethical implications of AI development and its impact on humanity. This entire spectacle is yet another manifestation of the conciliar sect’s relentless pursuit of relevance in a world it has long since surrendered to, masking its spiritual bankruptcy with bureaucratic platitudes about technology while the faithful are abandoned to the wolves of modernism and apostasy.

EWTN News portal reports that Christopher Olah, co-founder of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, delivered a speech at the Vatican’s Synod Hall on May 25, 2026, during the presentation of the encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” by the antipope Leo XIV. Olah identified three “ethical challenges” of AI: duty to the global poor, redefining human flourishing, and the need for discernment among AI developers. He praised the “Church’s” historical role in addressing social issues and called for collaboration between tech developers and religious communities. This event exemplifies the conciliar sect’s pattern of seeking validation from secular technologists while ignoring the immutable Catholic doctrine on the social reign of Christ the King.

Leo XIV’s Human Rights Rhetoric and the Silence on Christ the King

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

Vatican News portal (May 26, 2026) reports that “Pope” Leo XIV, speaking to journalists outside his residence at Castel Gandolfo, renewed his appeal for humanitarian assistance in Gaza, insisted that “human rights” must be respected “for everyone,” warned against the use of artificial intelligence in warfare that disregards human life, and highlighted an ongoing dialogue with the AI company Anthropic. The article presents the usurper pontiff’s remarks as a balanced and compassionate response to contemporary crises, framing them within the language of universal human rights, peace negotiations, and technological ethics. Beneath the veneer of humanitarian concern, however, lies a profound theological bankruptcy: the complete omission of the supernatural order, the public reign of Christ the King, the necessity of the true faith for salvation, and the moral obligation of states to submit to divine law. The article reveals not a shepherd guiding souls to eternal life, but a bureaucrat of the conciar sect, reducing the Church’s mission to naturalistic humanism and diplomatic platitudes.

The Neo-Church Embraces the Technocratic Idol: A Critique of ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ and the Conciliar Surrender to Artificial Intelligence

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The Register portal reports that Catholic thinkers involved in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry have praised the first encyclical of the antipope Leo XIV, ‘Magnifica Humanitas,’ for its approach to AI. The document warns against an “anti-human” trajectory of technology while calling for an approach rooted in “common good” and Catholic social principles such as “subsidiarity” and “solidarity.” Experts from within the AI industry itself, including representatives from Anthropic and Meta’s Oversight Board, lauded the encyclical as “hopeful” and “not anti-technology,” praising its engagement with rather than rejection of AI systems. The document addresses transhumanism, labor exploitation in the AI industry, and the need for ethical alignment of AI with human values, while affirming the primacy of human dignity over machine intelligence. This enthusiastic embrace of the technocratic paradigm by the conciliar structures reveals the fundamental bankruptcy of a church that has abandoned supernatural faith for the idolatry of technological progress, reducing the eternal destiny of souls to questions of algorithmic efficiency and “human flourishing” stripped of its supernatural dimension.

SSPX Defies Rome Again: Schismatic Consecrations Expose the Bankruptcy of False Traditionalism

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The EWTN News portal reports that the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has announced the consecration of four priests as bishops on July 1, 2026, at its seminary in Écône, Switzerland, without the mandate of the antipope Leo XIV. The Vatican had warned on May 13 that such an act would be “schismatic” and incur excommunication. The SSPX superior general, Father Davide Pagliarani, justified the decision as a “service rendered to souls and to the Church amid this unprecedented crisis of the faith,” following failed talks with the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. This act is not a defense of tradition but a schism within a schism, revealing the SSPX’s modernist foundation and its ultimate allegiance to the conciliar revolution.

Supreme Court Refusal to Hear Peter’s Pence Case Exposes the Conciliar Sect’s Vulnerability to Civil Litigation

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register reports that on May 26, 2026, the United States Supreme Court declined to intervene in a federal class-action lawsuit filed by Rhode Island resident David O’Connell against the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) regarding the alleged misuse of funds from the annual Peter’s Pence collection. The lawsuit, initiated in January 2020, claims that Catholics were misled about the nature of this collection, believing it was solely for emergency assistance to victims of war and poverty, when in fact it was also used to “defray Vatican administrative expenses.” The USCCB sought dismissal based on the “church autonomy doctrine,” arguing that civil courts should not interfere in internal church matters. Both lower courts ruled against the bishops, and the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the appeal means the case will proceed in federal court. Daniel Blomberg of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty expressed disappointment but affirmed the USCCB’s commitment to protecting the Church from “unconstitutional government entanglement.” This decision represents a significant legal and public relations setback for the conciliar sect, highlighting its inability to shield its financial operations from secular scrutiny and further eroding its already diminished credibility among the faithful.

Supreme Court Rejects Church Autonomy: The Conciliar Sect Faces the Consequences of Its Own Apostasy

EWTN News reports that on May 26, 2026, the United States Supreme Court declined to intervene in a federal class-action lawsuit filed against the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) concerning the Peter’s Pence collection. The suit, initiated in 2020 by Rhode Island resident David O’Connell, alleges that the bishops systematically misled the faithful regarding the nature of this centuries-old papal offering—ostensibly collected for the poor and for emergency relief, but in reality funneled in part toward Vatican administrative expenses and dubious financial investments. The USCCB sought dismissal on the basis of the “church autonomy doctrine,” a principle in American jurisprudence that prohibits governmental interference in internal ecclesiastical affairs. Both the federal district court and the appellate court rejected this defense, and the Supreme Court’s refusal to grant certiorari ensures the litigation will proceed. Daniel Blomberg, senior attorney at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty representing the USCCB, expressed disappointment but affirmed that the conference “remains committed to protecting the Church from unconstitutional government entanglement.” A coalition of religious organizations, including the Thomas More Society and the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, filed amicus briefs in support of the bishops’ position. The fundamental question, however, is far more grave than any legal procedural dispute: why must the “church autonomy doctrine” be invoked at all to shield an organization that has spent decades systematically dismantling the very faith it claims to protect?

The Conciliar Sect’s Corruption Exposed: Another “Priest” Steals From the Faithful

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

National Catholic Register reports that “Father” Richard Storey surrendered to Leawood police on May 23, 2026, charged with a level 5 felony for the alleged theft of approximately $160,000 from Curé of Ars Catholic Church in Leawood, Kansas. The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas announced the arrest through a carefully worded statement, while “Archbishop” Shawn McKnight expressed the predictable platitudes about the matter being “deeply painful” and urged parishioners to respond with “sensitivity, patience, charity, and respect.” The archdiocese further revealed that Storey had already resigned from the parish in September 2025 amid a separate criminal investigation “concerning another adult.” The faithful who entrusted their sacrificial offerings to this man now face the prospect of an insurance claim—secular restitution for what is, at its root, a profound spiritual catastrophe. This sordid episode is not an aberration; it is the natural, inevitable fruit of the post-conciliar revolution that has systematically dismantled the safeguards of Catholic discipline, formation, and accountability.

Leo XIV’s ‘Magnifica Humanitas’: A Modernist Manifesto Disguised as Social Doctrine

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

National Catholic Register portal (May 26, 2026) — Msgr. James Shea, president of the University of Mary, offers an enthusiastic commentary on the first encyclical of Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas, praising it as a timely and profound response to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. Shea describes the document as a synthesis of Catholic social doctrine, commending its insistence that “the fullest truth about man is revealed ultimately and most completely in the face of Jesus Christ.” He highlights Leo XIV’s call for responsible use of technology, his critique of transhumanism, and his appeal to all people of goodwill. Yet beneath this veneer of orthodoxy lies a thoroughly modernist framework—one that reduces the supernatural mission of the Church to a humanitarian project, ignores the primacy of the salvation of souls, and perpetuates the conciliar revolution’s false anthropology and ecumenical universalism. Far from being a beacon of truth, Magnifica Humanitas is yet another milestone in the apostasy of the post-conciliar sect.
