Catholic Scholars’ “Renaissance” — A Modernist Project Dressed in Pre-Conciliar Vestments
EWTN News portal reports on a new international initiative called CatholicPOST, the Association for the Renewal of Catholic Political and Social Thought, which held its inaugural conference in Budapest on March 9–10, 2026. The article presents this gathering of academics and Vatican officials as a noble effort to restore Catholic social doctrine to intellectual life, invoking the legacy of Leo XIII and the newly elected antipope Leo XIV. Yet beneath the veneer of scholarly respectability lies a project thoroughly embedded in the post-conciliar modernist framework — one that, far from restoring authentic Catholic teaching, perpetuates the very errors condemned by the pre-1958 Magisterium.
