Pizzaballa’s Easter Apostasy: Empty Tomb as Human Experience, Not Divine Fact
The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem portal reports a homily by “Cardinal” Pierbattista Pizzaballa on Easter Sunday 2026, delivered in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The homily centers on the theme that the Resurrection “turns our world upside down” and that “The Risen One is not where we left him.” Pizzaballa describes the empty tomb as “not an absence but a proclamation,” warns against “comfortable or routine religiosity,” links the Easter message to the political conflict in the Holy Land, and emphasizes that “The Risen One is not an object of worship; he is a person who calls.” He concludes that Easter “is not a phrase to be repeated; it is a door to be walked through.” This presentation systematically dismantles Catholic dogma under the guise of pastoral renewal, replacing the objective, supernatural fact of the Resurrection with a subjective, human-centered experience. The homily’s theological bankruptcy reveals the apostasy of the post-conciliar hierarchy.
