Tulsa’s Holy Thursday: Naturalism Masquerading as Tradition

The Pillar reports on the Diocese of Tulsa’s organized Seven Churches Visitation for Holy Thursday, a devotion led by diocesan priests Father Jon Fincher and Father Steven Ditzel. The article presents the event as a growing, spiritually edifying tradition where young adults visit multiple parish altars of repose, culminating in social gatherings. While describing a practice with historical roots, the piece reveals a profound naturalistic and modernist reinterpretation of Catholic worship, reducing the sacred Triduum to a communal experience and omitting the supernatural realities of sacrifice, atonement, and the kingship of Christ over all aspects of life.
