Malta’s Catholic Heritage Hijacked by Modernist Apostasy
National Catholic Register portal reports on a travelogue by British journalist Elliot Hartley, who visited Malta to explore the island’s 2,000-year Catholic heritage tied to St. Paul’s shipwreck. The article celebrates Malta’s churches, relics, and traditions while noting the country’s rapid secularization, legalization of same-sex marriage in 2017, and EU membership since 2004. What presents itself as a pious pilgrimage account is, upon closer examination, a symptom of the very modernist rot it fails to diagnose — a Catholic culture reduced to folklore, architecture, and gastronomy while the faith that built it is hollowed out from within.
