The National Register portal reports on the dissolution of the Vatican’s “Synod Study Group 9,” a body created under the Bergoglio pontificate to apply the novel concept of “synodality” to contentious doctrinal and moral questions, specifically concerning homosexuality. The group’s final report, released on May 5, 2026, sparked immediate controversy by featuring anonymized testimonies of men in civilly recognized same-sex unions, thereby implicitly challenging the Church’s immutable teaching on the intrinsic disorder of homosexual acts and the objective sinfulness of such relationships. The report was widely repudiated by cardinals and even distanced itself from by the synod secretariat itself, leading to the group’s quiet disbandment. The editorial acknowledges this as a “debacle” and a “scandalous” outcome, yet frames it merely as a procedural failure of “synodality” under Francis, expressing hope that Pope Leo XIV will correct course by emphasizing “unity” and “collegiality” over doctrinal innovation. However, this analysis remains trapped within the paradigm of the conciliar sect, treating the crisis as a mere administrative misstep rather than the logical and inevitable consequence of a revolutionary process designed to subvert the Faith itself. The true lesson is not that synodality was poorly implemented, but that it is an instrument of apostasy inherently incapable of serving the true Church of Christ.

National Catholic Register reports: Michael Pham, the “bishop” of San Diego, issued a statement condemning the “senseless act of violence” at the Islamic Center of San Diego on May 18, 2026, which left five dead — three victims and two teenage suspects who died by suicide. Pham declared that the Catholic community “stand[s] united in solidarity and prayer with the Muslim community,” praising the mosque as “a longtime partner in our collaborative work for justice, especially in accompanying immigrants.” He stated: “Houses of worship must always be sanctuaries of peace, safety, and prayer,” and that “an attack on one faith community is an attack on the sacred dignity of all human life.” He offered his “deepest condolences, solidarity, and fervent prayers to the families of the victims and the entire Muslim community.” The Islamic Center, the largest mosque in San Diego County which opened in 1989 and was itself the target of a bomb attack in 1991, described the three slain men — including a security guard — as “three pillars of our community” who “put themselves on the line for our [mosque] and our community.” This statement from the conciliar hierarchy is a textbook manifestation of the very religious indifferentism and false ecumenism that the pre-conciliar Magisterium condemned as heresy, revealing the complete theological bankruptcy of the post-1958 neo-church.
