The Naturalistic Error in the Heritage Foundation’s Defense of Fuentes and Carlson
Portal Catholic News Agency reports on the Heritage Foundation’s defense of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, who expressed admiration for Joseph Stalin and denounced “organized Jewry in America.” Heritage President Kevin Roberts condemned attempts to “cancel” Carlson, framing the issue as a free speech debate while claiming to “abhor” Fuentes’ views. Robert P. George later criticized the normalization of ideologies denying human dignity. The article mentions Fuentes’ self-identification as Catholic and includes a reference to “Pope” Leo XIV’s generic condemnation of antisemitism.
Reduction of Moral Evil to Political “Debate”
The entire controversy is framed through the prism of secular conservatism, reducing grave moral evils to a matter of partisan strategy. Roberts declares that “canceling [Fuentes] is not the answer,” advocating instead for “challeng[ing] those ideas and debate.” This reflects the modernist error condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors: the belief that “every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Proposition 15). The Church teaches that error has no rights (error ius non habet), and permitting the propagation of heresy or antisemitism under the guise of “debate” constitutes tacit cooperation with evil. The Apostle Paul commands: “Avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless” (Titus 3:9).
Fuentes’ Pseudo-Catholicism and the Silence on Conversion
Fuentes’ claim to Catholicism while espousing racial hatred and admiration for a communist mass-murderer exposes the bankruptcy of post-conciliar “Catholic identity.” The article fails to note that authentic Catholicism requires not mere self-identification but submission to the Social Kingship of Christ, which demands the conversion of all nations, including the Jewish people, to the One True Faith. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) unequivocally states: “The entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ”, and rulers must “publicly honor and obey Him.” The conciliar sect’s refusal to preach conversion—exemplified by Leo XIV’s vacuous condemnation of antisemitism—betrays the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).
Heritage Foundation’s Masonic Alliance with False Conservatism
The Heritage Foundation’s $1.2 million sponsorship of Carlson’s program reveals the rotten fruit of Catholic collaboration with naturalistic political movements. Roberts’ appeal to “dismantl[ing] the vile ideas of the left” ignores that both secular “left” and “right” reject the divine constitution of the Church. As Pius IX taught: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits” (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 39). The Heritage Foundation operates within this Freemasonic framework, reducing the cosmic battle between Christ and Satan to a temporal squabble over “conservative institutions.”
Robert P. George’s Incomplete Defense of Human Dignity
George rightly warns against treating Fuentes’ ideology as “legitimate conservatism,” yet his appeal to “inherent and equal human dignity” lacks a supernatural foundation. The Church teaches that human dignity flows from man’s creation in God’s image and his ordination to beatific vision—not abstract Enlightenment principles. By omitting the necessity of grace and the Kingship of Christ, George exemplifies the neo-Thomist error condemned in Lamentabili Sane: the reduction of dogma to “a certain interpretation of religious facts” (Proposition 22).
The Antichurch’s Complicit Silence
The conciliar sect’s “Pope” Leo XIV offers only a bureaucratic condemnation of antisemitism, divorced from the Church’s missionary mandate. This mirrors the modernist heresy defined by St. Pius X: “Revelation could not be other than the consciousness acquired by man of his relation to God” (Lamentabili, Proposition 20). True popes like Pius XII taught that while condemning racial hatred, Catholics must “pray for the [Jewish] people that were once the chosen people… [and] labor that they may enter into the one fold of Christ” (In hac tanta, 1919). The article’s failure to contrast Leo XIV’s empty words with pre-1958 Magisterium reveals its servility to the neo-modernist regime.
Conclusion: The Duty of Catholic Resistance
This episode demonstrates the spiritual bankruptcy of alliances with naturalistic conservatism. The Heritage Foundation and its Catholic enablers have replaced the Social Reign of Christ with idolatry of “debate” and “institutions.” As the Syllabus proclaims: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” is an error (Proposition 80). True Catholics must reject all collaboration with this diabolical dialectic and proclaim the Kingship of Christ—regnavit a ligno Deus—until the Church’s enemies are made His footstool (Psalm 110:1).
