Conciliar Sect’s False Ecumenism Masquerades as Eastern Church Vitality
VaticanNews portal (November 6, 2025) reports on three events: All Saints’ Day celebrations in Eastern communities, the election of a new Romanian Greek Catholic major archbishop, and Patriarch Bartholomew I’s address to French bishops. The article presents these as signs of “vitality” while promoting interfaith collaboration that directly contradicts Catholic dogma. This is yet another example of the conciliar sect’s systematic betrayal of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church).
All Saints’ Day Distorted Into Interfaith Spectacle
The portal describes celebrations where “children dressed up as their favourite saints” in Iraq and Gaza. While superficially pious, the article commits grave omissions:
1. No distinction between true saints and schismatic “martyrs”: The Eastern Orthodox communities mentioned lack valid holy orders and sacraments, making their celebrations spiritually void. As Pius XI declared in Mortalium Animos (1928): “Those who are divided in faith or government cannot be living in the unity of such a Body, nor can they be living the life of its one Divine Spirit.”
2. Silence on required state of grace: The article ignores that authentic veneration of saints presumes membership in the Catholic Church and freedom from mortal sin. The Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches that saints are “models of Catholic obedience” who “detest all schism and heresy” – a direct contradiction of the interfaith context presented.
Illegitimate Election in Romanian Greek Catholic Structure
The report states that Romanian bishops are electing a new major archbishop at the “Pontifical Pio Romano College” in Rome. This exposes multiple contradictions:
– Canonical invalidity: Since the resignation of Pope Pius XII (1958), all subsequent claimants to the Holy See lack jurisdiction. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 188.4) voids offices held by those publicly defecting from Catholic faith – which applies to all post-conciliar figures.
– False appearance of continuity: The mention of a “memorial service marking 40 days” for Cardinal Lucian Muresan disguises the fact that he received his cardinalate from antipope Benedict XVI in 2012. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches in De Romano Pontifice, “a manifest heretic cannot be Pope” – and by extension, no valid hierarch can emerge from structures recognizing antipopes.
Ecumenical Apostasy With Eastern Schismatics
The article’s most egregious error concerns Patriarch Bartholomew I’s address to French bishops:
“The Patriarch emphasized the common role of the Churches in protecting creation, promoting peace, and educating younger generations. The plenary assembly concluded with a time of prayer for peace, in communion with Christians of the East.”
This constitutes formal cooperation in heresy on three counts:
1. Denial of Christ’s Kingship: By treating schismatics as equal “Churches,” the conciliar sect rejects Pius XI’s teaching in Quas Primas (1925): “In the Lord’s law is the emperor’s duty… to submit himself and obey reverently the Church’s authority and rule.”
2. Violation of divine law against communicatio in sacris: The “time of prayer” with schismatics directly contravenes Canon 1258 of the 1917 Code: “It is illicit for the faithful to assist in any active manner at or to have any participation in the sacred functions of non-Catholics.”
3. Naturalism replacing supernatural faith: Focusing on “environmental crises” and “peace” while ignoring the necessity of conversion demonstrates the modernist heresy condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907): “The Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and theological sciences” (Proposition 57).
Systemic Apostasy Revealed in Rhetorical Omissions
The portal’s linguistic choices expose deeper errors:
– Equivocal use of “saints”: Applying the term to non-Catholics implies religious indifferentism condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864): “Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” (Error 17).
– Absence of missionary imperative: No mention of converting Orthodox schismatics to Catholicism violates Christ’s command (Mark 16:15) and Leo XIII’s encyclical Satis Cognitum (1896): “The Church is unable to favor or approve rival communions or to hold out hope of eternal salvation to their members.”
This report exemplifies how the conciliar sect operates as what Pius X called “the synthesis of all heresies” – using sentimentalized rituals and false unity to obscure the Church’s divine mission: the salvation of souls through exclusive adherence to Catholic truth.
