Archbishop Aquila’s ‘Legacy’: Modernist Gratitude for Apostasy in Denver

The National Catholic Register reports that “Archbishop” Samuel Aquila of the Denver Archdiocese will retire after 14 years, expressing “deep gratitude” for growth in faith and sacramental life during his tenure. He highlights his personal spiritual evolution from a God of judgment to one of “deep love,” his advocacy on abortion and immigration, and his promotion of devotional practices like the Surrender Novena. This portrait of a faithful shepherd, however, is a carefully constructed facade that masks the profound theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar apostasy he has actively served. Aquila’s “legacy” is not one of Catholic fidelity but of active participation in the systematic dismantling of the Church’s supernatural mission, replacing it with a naturalistic, human-centered religion that contradicts every tenet of integral Catholic doctrine.
