Massachusetts Policy Shift on Foster Care: A Superficial Concession Amidst Ideological Subversion
Catholic News Agency reports that Massachusetts has removed explicit requirements for foster parents to affirm LGBT ideology, following a lawsuit by Alliance Defending Freedom. The policy previously mandated prospective parents to support children’s “sexual orientation and gender identity,” including pronoun usage and medical transitions. The amended rules now require affirmation of a child’s “individual identity and needs,” with the religious liberty group continuing to monitor compliance. The article references President Trump’s executive order prioritizing faith-based foster care participation and similar cases in Oregon, Kansas, and Arkansas.


Bankruptcy of a Bishop: Symptom of Ecclesiastical Collapse
The National Catholic Register reports on December 19, 2025, that Edward Scharfenberger, retired “bishop” of Albany, filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection following a $54.2 million civil judgment against him and other officials for the collapse of the St. Clare’s Hospital pension fund. A jury found Scharfenberger 10% liable for leaving 1,100 retirees without promised benefits. The Diocese of Albany, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023 over abuse lawsuits, was absolved of liability. Scharfenberger’s filing lists debts up to $10 million against assets under $500,000. His successor, Mark O’Connell, stated the diocese “cannot pay a billion dollars” and that bankruptcy mediators would determine “what’s fair” for creditors. The report exemplifies the conciliar sect’s disintegration into financial and moral insolvency.


Colorado’s Preschool Funding Dispute Exposes Conciliar Sect’s Surrender to Secular Power
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 19, 2025) reports on the “US Conference of Catholic Bishops” (“USCCB”) and Colorado Catholic families petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to include Catholic preschools in the state’s universal preschool funding program. The Archdiocese of Denver and affiliated schools seek access to taxpayer funds despite Colorado’s exclusion of institutions requiring adherence to Catholic teachings on sexuality and gender. The article frames this as a religious liberty issue, quoting “USCCB” claims that exclusion creates a “roadmap” for nationwide First Amendment violations. Amicus briefs from Lutheran, Evangelical, Jewish, and Muslim groups are cited as evidence of broad interfaith support.


Leo XIV’s Preface Exposes Modernist Subversion of True Spirituality
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 19, 2025) reports that “Pope Leo XIV” has written a preface to Brother Lawrence’s The Practice of the Presence of God, calling it “one of the texts that has most shaped my spiritual life.” The antipope describes this 17th-century work as presenting “a type of prayer and spirituality where one simply gives his life to the Lord and allows the Lord to lead,” claiming it overcomes “all moralism and every reduction of the Gospel to a mere set of rules.” This endorsement constitutes a radical departure from Catholic ascetic theology in favor of subjectivist pietism.
