Life Fest 2026: Conciliar Sect’s Naturalistic Substitution for Authentic Catholic Action
The EWTN News portal (January 23, 2026) reports on Life Fest 2026, an event organized by the Sisters of Life and Knights of Columbus ahead of the March for Life. The gathering at Maryland’s Gaylord National Resort featured a morning rally with music from the “All the Living Band” (including “Father” Isaiah Marie Hofmann, CFR), “pro-life testimonies,” veneration of relics (including those of “St. Carlos Acutis” and “St. John Paul II”), and confession. Participants ranged from youth groups to elderly attendees, with emphasis on emotional experiences like singing and clapping. The Schachle family shared their story of choosing life amid a crisis pregnancy, crediting their son Michael with the “miracle” leading to Bl. McGivney’s beatification. This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s reduction of Catholicism to naturalistic sentimentality divorced from dogmatic substance.
