The cited article from EWTN News (May 20, 2026) reports on a message issued by the Spanish bishops’ Commission for Consecrated Life for Pro Orantibus Day, framing contemplative life primarily as a service to humanity and the Church, while conspicuously omitting the supernatural end of contemplation: the salvation of souls and the glory of God.
VaticanNews portal reports that the Federation of Catholic Bishops’ Conferences in Oceania (FCBCO) convened in Guam from May 18–20, 2026, to discuss “modern slavery,” migration, “globalization,” “ecological challenges,” and “social injustices.” The meeting, led by Archbishop Ryan P. Jimenez, included a traditional welcome by the indigenous CHamoru people, a visit to the shrine of Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores, and concluded with a Mass at Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica. The bishops affirmed their commitment to the Migrants and Refugees Oceania Network and discussed strategies for “synodality,” “youth engagement,” “safeguarding,” “indigenous ministry,” and “environmental stewardship.” This gathering exemplifies the complete reduction of the Catholic Church to a humanitarian NGO, devoid of supernatural mission, and fully integrated into the globalist agenda of the post-conciliar abomination.
National Catholic Register portal (May 20, 2026) reports on the growing influence of Jesuit Father Bernard Lonergan and French philosopher René Girard among Catholic tech leaders grappling with artificial intelligence. The article presents these two thinkers as “pivotal players” in shaping a Catholic response to AI, highlighting Lonergan’s analysis of human cognition and Girard’s theory of “mimetic desire” as frameworks for distinguishing human intelligence from machine simulation. It notes that figures like Microsoft’s Taylor Black and venture capitalist Peter Thiel draw upon these thinkers, and speculates that the upcoming encyclical from Leo XIV may cite them. The article frames this as a positive development, suggesting these thinkers help Catholics navigate the challenges of AI while preserving human dignity. However, beneath this veneer of intellectual engagement lies a profound abandonment of supernatural faith, a capitulation to modernist anthropology, and a dangerous flirtation with systems that, by their very nature, cannot possess the God-given faculties they purport to analyze—all while ignoring the only true source of wisdom and the ultimate destiny of man: Jesus Christ, Our Lord and King.
EWTN News reports that nearly 500,000 people have registered for the main events of antipope Leo XIV’s visit to Spain, scheduled for June 2026. According to Rafael Rubio, communications coordinator for the journey, 160,000 have registered for the vigil on June 6, 250,000 for the Corpus Christi Mass and procession, 36,000 for the Mass at Gran Canaria Stadium, and 25,000 for the event at Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The Archdiocese of Barcelona expects approximately 37,000 at the Olympic Stadium. Over 20,000 volunteers have been mobilized, and a massive communication strategy — including commercials titled “Metro” and “Amigos,” social media, and over 400 advertising displays across Spain — has been deployed under the theme “Lift Up Your Eyes.” “To ensure that ‘there is no one in Spain unaware of the pope’s visit,’ Rubio emphasized.” Alongside these spectacles, the Archdiocese of Madrid will set up “listening centers” along the Paseo de la Castellana, staffed by priests and laypeople trained in the humanistic psychology of Carl Rogers, offering “accompaniment” in a “welcoming and confidential environment.” This colossal mobilization of resources, manpower, and propaganda machinery in service of a usurper antipope on the Chair of St. Peter reveals the full machinery of the conciliar sect operating with the efficiency of a multinational corporation — and the spiritual blindness of half a million souls who do not recognize that they are following not the Vicar of Christ, but the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15).
VaticanNews portal reports that on 20 May 2026, the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) received Aram I, Catholicos of the Armenian Apostolic Church (See of Cilicia), at the Wednesday General Audience in St. Peter’s Square, hailing their meeting as “an important occasion to strengthen the bonds of unity that already exist between us, as we draw closer to full communion between our Churches.” The so-called “pope” urged prayer for peace in Lebanon and the Middle East, thanked Aram I for his “constant personal commitment to ecumenism,” and invoked Oriental Orthodox saints alongside the Blessed Virgin Mary as intercessors for “the fullness of that unity we all desire.” This spectacle is not a gesture of Christian charity but a public manifestation of the apostasy that has consumed the conciliar sect since the death of Pope Pius XII—a brazen denial of the very nature of the Church and the exclusive salvific mission of Jesus Christ.
Pope Leo XIV, the current usurper occupying the structures of the Vatican, during his Wednesday General Audience on May 20, 2026, delivered a catechesis on the Second Vatican Council’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium. The article from VaticanNews portal reports that he spoke of the liturgy as sustaining the faithful and expressing the Church’s faith, referencing the Paschal mystery and the Eucharist as the summit of the Church’s activity. However, beneath the veneer of pious language lies a systematic promotion of the very liturgical revolution that has devastated Catholic worship and faith worldwide.
EWTN News reports that the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership (CSPL), a Chicago-based Catholic and Christian advocacy group, has secured a temporary agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) granting “daily pastoral visits” to the Broadview, Illinois, immigration facility. The agreement, effective since May 15, 2026, follows a nearly 10-month campaign and lawsuit by CSPL and other faith leaders. It permits up to five religious leaders per day to offer “pastoral services,” including “spiritual care, prayer, or facility-approved sacramental ministry,” to detainees who consent. The arrangement is framed by participants as a recognition of “human dignity and basic human rights,” with one Claretian priest describing it as “emergency room treatment” for spiritual wounds. This entire episode is a textbook example of the post-conciliar Church’s reduction of its supernatural mission to mere humanitarian activism, a direct fruit of the modernist apostasy condemned by St. Pius X.
Tyler Arnold/EWTN News English Nation (May 19, 2026) reports: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)—a paramasonic structure occupying the ruins of the Church’s American hierarchy—has issued a letter to Congress urging immigration reform in the budget reconciliation package. Signed by Oklahoma City “Archbishop” Paul Coakley and Victoria, Texas, “Bishop” Brendan Cahill, the letter invokes the usurper antipope Leo XIV’s January 9 speech to justify its demands for “human dignity,” “common good,” and restrictions on immigration enforcement. The bishops cite 54 deaths in ICE custody since fiscal year 2025 as evidence of systemic failure, while simultaneously quoting Leo XIV’s assertion that “democratic processes must be accompanied by the political will to pursue the common good.” This is not pastoral guidance; it is a modernist manifesto dressed in ecclesiastical vestments, using the authority of an antipope to advance a naturalistic, secular agenda that denies the supernatural mission of the Church and reduces Catholic doctrine to humanitarian sentimentality.
The EWTN News/NCRegister portal reports that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is preparing for its 2026 Spring Plenary Assembly in Orlando, Florida (June 10-12), featuring a “consecrati…
EWTN News reports that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has urged Congress to include immigration reform in the budget reconciliation package, citing “God-given dignity” and the “common good” while decrying enforcement practices that have led to 54 deaths in ICE custody during fiscal 2025. The letter, signed by Oklahoma City Archbishop Paul Coakley and Victoria, Texas, Bishop Brendan Cahill, acknowledges the state’s “legitimate role” in regulating immigration but demands alignment with “the moral order,” including restrictions on enforcement near churches and guaranteed pastoral access for detainees. The bishops quote Leo XIV’s January 9 speech on democratic processes and the common good, lamenting the “unfortunate absence” of political will for “reasonable and necessary reforms.” They also requested limits on additional funding for ICE and CBP after last year’s allocations. This conciliar body’s intervention exemplifies the post-conciliar ecclesiology that reduces the Church’s mission to naturalistic humanism, substitutes the supernatural order with secular humanitarianism, and operates as a paramasonic structure indistinguishable from worldly NGOs.
