McElroy’s Cancer Diagnosis Masks Grave Theological Malignancy in Washington Archdiocese
The Catholic News Agency portal reports that so-called “Cardinal” Robert McElroy of the Washington conciliar sect has been diagnosed with liposarcoma, describing his prognosis as “very good” following scheduled surgery. The article emphasizes McElroy’s political activism against President Trump’s immigration policies, quoting his September homily decrying “an unprecedented assault upon millions of immigrant men and women” and describing enforcement measures as “terror.” The report concludes with references to McElroy’s installation by Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) and his previous tenure as “bishop” of San Diego.
Naturalism Disguised as Pastoral Care
The article’s exclusive focus on temporal health concerns and socio-political posturing exposes the conciliar sect’s fundamental apostasy from Catholic supernaturalism. While McElroy discusses his medical condition and immigration policies, he remains conspicuously silent about the Four Last Things – death, judgment, heaven, and hell – which constitute the Church’s primary concern. This omission reflects Modernism’s core error condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “They deny every species of supernatural order” (Encyclical Pascendi, 6).
McElroy’s statement that “I am at peace with this challenge and hope and believe that in God’s grace I will be archbishop of Washington for many years to come” reveals Pelagian presumption, ignoring the Church’s teaching that “all our actions must be ordered toward eternal life as their ultimate end” (Council of Trent, Session VI, Canon XIX). A true prelate would first express concern for the state of his soul and the flock’s spiritual welfare, not temporal longevity in office.
Subversion of Christ’s Social Kingship
McElroy’s immigration rhetoric constitutes open rebellion against the Social Reign of Christ the King. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas explicitly condemned the notion that “the State must not be subject to the Church”, affirming that “rulers of nations must obey” Christ’s laws (Quas Primas, 18). By attacking immigration enforcement while ignoring the divine mandate for ordered societies, McElroy promotes the condemned error of “indifferentism” denounced in the Syllabus of Errors (Proposition 15).
The so-called “cardinal’s” assertion that deportations violate human dignity perverts Catholic teaching. The Church has always recognized the state’s right to regulate borders, as demonstrated by Pope Pius XII’s approval of immigration controls in Exsul Familia (1952). McElroy’s selective outrage reveals not pastoral concern, but ideological alignment with the Masonic “cult of man” condemned in the Syllabus (Proposition 77).
Illegitimate Authority and Invalid Ministry
The article’s reference to McElroy’s installation by Bergoglio underscores the conciliar sect’s lack of canonical legitimacy. Following the principles of Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio (1559), which declares that heretics cannot hold ecclesiastical office, McElroy’s acceptance of Vatican II’s errors invalidates his claim to authority. His doctorate in “sacred theology” from the apostate Jesuit institution in Rome constitutes what Pius X called “the poisonous fruit of Modernist scholarship” (Encyclical Pascendi, 40).
McElroy’s diagnosis comes amidst his promotion of communion for adulterers and other heresies, confirming St. Robert Bellarmine’s axiom: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice II.30). This applies equally to pseudo-cardinals who propagate heresy. The conciliar sect’s focus on McElroy’s physical health while ignoring his spiritual malignancy parallels Our Lord’s condemnation: “Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!” (Matthew 23:24).
Omission as Condemnation
The article’s silence about McElroy’s heterodox positions on communion for the divorced/remarried, women’s ordination, and homosexuality constitutes journalistic malfeasance. Catholic News Agency functions as Bergoglio’s propaganda arm by whitewashing McElroy’s record, including:
“his criticism of the USCCB for focusing on abortion rather than immigration”
This inversion of priorities violates Pius XI’s teaching that abortion constitutes “the direct murder of the innocent” (Casti Connubii, 64), always taking precedence over temporal concerns.
The report’s description of sanctuaries as “houses of worship” rather than Catholic churches reveals religious indifferentism condemned by Pius IX: “The opinion is false which holds that any worship is pleasing to God” (Syllabus, Proposition 15). True Catholics recognize that only the Roman Catholic Church possesses the means of salvation.
Diagnosing the Conciliar Pathology
McElroy’s physical condition serves as metaphor for the conciliar sect’s terminal spiritual illness. Just as liposarcoma develops in fatty tissues, Modernism has metastasized through the Vatican II church’s abandonment of doctrinal substance. The prognosis of “very good” parallels conciliar leaders’ delusional claims of ecclesial health while promoting what Pius X called “the suicide of altering the faith” (Encyclical Pascendi, 39).
The article’s concluding reference to Trump’s presidency underscores the conciliar sect’s obsession with earthly power. Contrast this with Pius XI’s teaching: “The Church is not in the world to dominate but to serve” (Encyclical Ubi Arcano, 56) – service defined by administering sacraments and preserving doctrine, not political activism.
As true Catholics pray for McElroy’s conversion and physical healing, we remember that “it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead” (2 Maccabees 12:46) – a doctrine the conciliar sect has abandoned through its near-universal canonizations and denial of hell. Only through return to integral Catholic tradition can the Church’s true physicians – valid bishops maintaining apostolic succession – administer the sacramental remedies needed for spiritual health.
