Christendom Alumna’s Fashion Apostolate Epitomizes Conciliar Compromise with the World
The National Catholic Register portal reports on Isabella Reilly, a 2020 valedictorian of Christendom College, who studied at the Parisian fashion institute ESMOD and now works in bridal design in Charleston, South Carolina. The article frames her career as a mission to “reclaim [the fashion industry] for His Kingdom” through “objective beauty” and the “personalistic norm” of the apostate John Paul II. This narrative of cultural engagement perfectly encapsulates the neo-church’s delusion that the Kingdom of Christ can be advanced by collaboration with the very structures of the anti-Christian world order, ignoring the Social Kingship of Christ and the necessity of the Church’s public reign over all temporal spheres.
