The National Catholic Register recently published a glowing report on the supposed resurgence of Catholic life in three Manhattan parishes—St. Joseph’s (Dominican-run), St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral (Legionaries of Christ), and St. Vincent Ferrer (Dominican-run). The article, dated April 5, 2026, attributes this growth to vibrant liturgies, strong community, and the work of the Holy Spirit, claiming young adults are flocking to these parishes. This narrative, however, is a dangerous and delusional celebration of activity within the conciliar sect, which occupies the Vatican but has fundamentally apostatized from the Catholic faith. From the perspective of integral Catholic theology as defined before the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958, this so-called “renewal” is a diabolical illusion, a final snare for souls built upon the sand of modernist heresy.
