The “Guy From Nebraska” and the Emptiness of Conciliar Pastoralism
EWTN News portal reports on the installation of Mr. James Golka as the new “Archbishop” of Denver on March 25, following his transfer from the “Diocese” of Colorado Springs. The article presents a sentimental interview in which Golka describes his appointment as unexpected, attributes it to the “Holy Spirit” working through the structures of the conciliar sect, and shares anecdotes about his family, his vocation, and the recent deaths of his parents. He outlines priorities of “getting to know priests,” defending life, and “listening to God’s plans.” The entire piece is a masterclass in the banal, naturalistic, and spiritually vacuous pastoralism that defines the post-conciliar anti-church, devoid of any supernatural urgency, doctrinal clarity, or awareness of the crisis of faith.
