Ecumenical “Rededication” Exposes the Bankruptcy of Americanist Heresy
NCRegister portal reports: On May 17, 2026, a massive ecumenical event titled “Rededicate 250” took place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where U.S. political leaders alongside major “Catholic” prelates, including Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Bishop Robert Barron, gathered to “rededicate” the United States as “One Nation, Under God.” The event, organized under the auspices of the Freedom 250 initiative celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary, featured a central prayer led by House Speaker Mike Johnson and a video message from President Trump. Cardinal Dolan emphasized that the nation’s “deepest values” are rooted in being a “people of God” and announced a forthcoming “consecration” of the United States to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 12. Bishop Robert Barron invoked the concept of America’s “Declaration of Dependence” upon God. The entire spectacle was a masterclass in Americanist heresy, conflating the supernatural order of grace with the natural order of civic patriotism, thereby reducing the Church to a chaplain of the secular republic.
