Copyright Dispute Over Hymns Exposes the Bankruptcy of Conciliar Liturgical Culture
EWTN News reports that a U.S. jury dismissed the copyright infringement claim brought by Catholic composer Vincent Ambrosetti against songwriter Bernadette Farrell and Oregon Catholic Press. Ambrosetti had alleged that Farrell’s 1993 hymn “Christ Be Our Light” unlawfully copied his 1980 composition “Emmanuel.” The jury found that Ambrosetti failed to prove his case “by a preponderance of the evidence,” siding with the defendants after deliberating for less than a day. The case, originally filed in 2020, was briefly dismissed in 2024 before an appeals court revived it in August 2025. Despite testimony from a New York University music professor claiming “strong objective musicological evidence of copying,” the jury was unconvinced. Ambrosetti has signaled a possible further appeal. On its surface, this is a mundane intellectual property dispute. Yet examined from the perspective of integral Catholic faith, the case is a revealing symptom of the profound liturgical, theological, and spiritual collapse wrought by the conciliar revolution — a collapse so total that the Church’s own “publishers” and “composers” now litigate over the ownership of songs that, in many cases, should never have been sung in any Catholic liturgy in the first place.
Archbishop Wenski’s Plea for Federal Funds Exposes the Conciliar Church’s Subservience to Secular Power
The National Catholic Register reports that Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami held a press conference on April 15, 2026, urging the U.S. government to reconsider the cancellation of an $11 million federal contract with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami. The contract funded the Unaccompanied Minors Program, which has operated since 1960 and traces its origins to Operation Pedro Pan, which resettled approximately 14,000 Cuban children fleeing the Castro regime. Wenski called the decision “baffling,” arguing that Catholic Charities’ “track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched” and that the program would be “hard-pressed to replicate.” Florida Republican Representatives María Elvira Salazar and Carlos Giménez also issued a letter urging reconsideration, warning of potential future migration from Cuba and Haiti. Peter Routsis-Arroyo, executive director of Catholic Charities, stated the organization received no warning and is seeking a 90-day extension. The article presents the funding cut as a humanitarian crisis, with Wenski and others appealing to the government’s sense of pragmatism and compassion. This entire episode lays bare the theological bankruptcy of the post-conciliar institution: a so-called “archbishop” of the conciliar sect, occupying a once-Catholic see, groveling before a secular government for funds to sustain a program that, however superficially charitable, operates within a framework utterly divorced from the supernatural mission of the true Church of Christ.
The Neo-Church’s “Search for Truth” Without Christ the King Is a Descent Into Relativism
EWTN News reports that on April 17, 2026, the antipope Leo XIV addressed students at the Catholic Academic Institution of Central Africa (UCAC) in Yaoundé, Cameroon, encouraging them in a “common search for truth” and inviting them to pioneer “a new humanism in the context of the digital revolution.” The event, attended by 8,000 people, also featured the inauguration of a square named after St. Augustine and plans for a “Leo XIV Catholic University Center.” The antipope quoted the heretic John Henry Newman and Francis’ encyclical Lumen Fidei, warning about artificial intelligence and calling for “humanistic formation.” This address perfectly encapsulates the post-conciliar apostasy: a “search for truth” deliberately severed from the social reign of Christ the King, the unchanging Magisterium, and the supernatural order, reducing the Faith to a vague humanism compatible with any ideology.
Catholic Economic Thought: A Trojan Horse for Capitalism in the Guise of Thomism
The National Catholic Register portal reports on an article by Solène Tadié (April 17, 2026) that presents medieval Catholic thinkers—particularly Franciscan friars and theologians of the School of Salamanca—as proto-capitalists who “anticipated” modern economic principles such as supply and demand, capital formation, and market-determined pricing. The piece frames these teachings as timeless wisdom for families and entrepreneurs today, seamlessly integrating them into contemporary capitalist discourse. This is not merely a historical curiosity; it is a deliberate ideological operation that baptizes the very economic liberalism condemned by the Church’s Magisterium, reducing Catholic social teaching to a mere precursor of Adam Smith and Milton Friedman.
