Vatican’s Polygamy Document: Betrayal of Divine Law
Vatican’s Polygamy Document: Betrayal of Divine Law
Catholic News Agency reports that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith will release a document titled “We Two: In Praise of Monogamy” at month’s end. According to “Father” Armando Matteo, the text responds to African “bishops” seeking guidance on polygamy – a practice explicitly condemned by two millennia of Catholic teaching. The document emerges from the heretical Synod on Synodality and follows earlier synodal discussions where African prelates allegedly requested pastoral accommodations for polygamists.
Direct Contradiction of Divine and Natural Law
The mere suggestion that polygamy requires “pastoral solutions” constitutes apostasy from Catholic truth. Pius XI’s encyclical Casti Connubii (1930) declares polygamy “opposed… to the primary end of marriage” and “contrary to the law of nature” (n. 6), while the Council of Trent anathematizes those claiming “marriage contracted with the intention of not keeping the faith is lawful” (Session XXIV, Can. 2). The article’s reference to “pastoral challenges” reveals the conciliar sect’s fundamental error: treating mortal sin as a sociological problem rather than spiritual rebellion against God.
Linguistic Subversion of Sacred Doctrine
The document’s saccharine title “In Praise of Monogamy” employs modernist rhetorical trickery – as if the Church’s perennial condemnation of polygamy needed “praise” rather than definitive dogmatic assertion. This follows the Vatican II playbook of replacing doctrinal certainty with ambiguous “values” – a tactic condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili (1907) which forbade reinterpreting dogma as “a certain interpretation of religious facts” (Proposition 22). Matteo’s description of the document as “connected to a request” exposes the conciliar sect’s democratic deformation of ecclesiastical authority – making doctrine subject to regional lobbying rather than immutable revelation.
Theological Bankruptcy of African Accommodations
African “bishops” requesting polygamy guidelines betray their sacramental illiteracy. Polygamous unions can never constitute marriage, as articulated in Pius XII’s Address to Midwives (1951): “The matrimonial contract, which confers on the spouses the right to satisfy the inclination of nature, constitutes them in a state of life, the matrimonial state.” This state by divine ordinance demands absolute exclusivity (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5). The article’s reference to “pastoral challenges” ignores the Church’s only legitimate pastoral response to polygamists: immediate cessation of sin under pain of eternal damnation.
Symptomatic of Conciliar Apostasy
This polygamy document continues the Vatican II revolution against Catholic sacramental theology. Just as the Novus Ordo destroyed the Mass’s propitiatory character, so this text attacks marriage’s indissoluble unity. The 2014-2015 Synods’ focus on “pastoral approaches” to polygamy – mentioned in the article – laid groundwork for today’s heresy by treating divine law as negotiable. St. Pius X’s Pascendi foresaw this when condemning modernists who claim “dogmas are not only able, but ought to evolve and to be changed” (n. 13).
The conciliar sect’s willingness to entertain polygamy discussions fulfills Pius IX’s prophecy in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics” (Proposition 63). When African tribal customs receive more deference than the Sixth Commandment, we witness the complete inversion of Christ’s mission – making disciples of all nations becomes making accomodations for all perversions.
Omission of Supernatural Realities
Nowhere does the article mention the eternal consequences of polygamy – the mortal sin that sends souls to hell. This silence proves the conciliar sect’s naturalism, reducing marriage from a sacrament to a sociological arrangement. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1013 ยง2) explicitly forbade polygamists from baptism until renouncing all but one wife, while Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis (1943) taught that sacramental grace alone enables marital fidelity. By omitting these truths, the Vatican document prepares souls for damnation under guise of “mercy.”
The impending document – whatever its final wording – constitutes formal cooperation with evil. As St. Augustine warned: “To consent to sin is to commit sin” (In Psalmum 50, 5). The conciliar sect’s polygamy initiative confirms its status as the mysterium iniquitatis foretold in Scripture (2 Thessalonians 2:7). Faithful Catholics must reject this abomination and cling to the Church’s unchanging teaching: one man, one woman, one flesh – until death.
