Vatican News portal (November 8, 2025) reports on a 13th-century Syriac Gospel manuscript from Qaraqosh, Iraq, now housed in the Vatican Apostolic Library. The article describes its artistic merits and historical journey—including multiple thefts and eventual donation to Pius XI in 1937—while celebrating its preservation as a symbol of Christian resilience amid ISIS persecution. This sentimental narrative conceals the conciliar sect’s exploitation of sacred objects to legitimize its apostate agenda.
Illegitimate Custodianship of Sacred Treasures
The manuscript’s transfer to Vatican control in 1937 under Pius XI occurred during the twilight of authentic papal authority, mere years before the modernist infiltration accelerated under Pius XII. The conciliar sect’s current boasting about safeguarding such relics is a sacrilegious farce, for the Vatican II apparatus has systematically dismantled the very faith this Gospel proclaims. As Pius XI himself declared in Quas Primas (1925), Christ’s kingship demands that “states… render public worship and obedience to the reign of Christ” — a principle utterly violated by the Vatican’s collaboration with secular powers and heretical groups. The manuscript’s ornate miniatures of Christ’s miracles are reduced to museum curiosities under occupiers who deny His exclusive lordship over nations.
Omission of Doctrinal Fidelity for Ecumenical Theater
Nowhere does the article address whether the Syriac text aligns with Catholic orthodoxy or contains variants condemned by councils like Trent. The Estrangelo script’s aesthetic appeal masks a deeper betrayal: the post-conciliar sect’s embrace of Eastern rites as merely alternative expressions rather than schismatic deviations requiring conversion. This echoes the heresy of communicatio in sacris condemned in Pope Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928): “The unity of Christians cannot be fostered by promoting a return to the Church… through common prayers or other devotional practices.” By glorifying a Syriac manuscript without demanding the Assyrian Church’s submission to Rome, the conciliarists perpetuate the myth that heresy can coexist with truth.
Qaraqosh’s Suffering Exploited to Whitewash Apostasy
The portrayal of Qaraqosh Christians as “resilient” despite ISIS atrocities serves the Vatican’s narrative of victimhood without victory. True Catholic resilience, as defined by Leo XIII in Sapientiae Christianae (1890), requires “unflinching adherence to the Church’s magisterium”—precisely what the Syriac community rejects through its schism. The manuscript’s history of theft and recovery parallels the conciliar sect’s plundering of Tradition: just as the Gospel was “reclaimed by the faithful” only to be surrendered to modernist custodians, so the ancient liturgy was preserved by true Catholics before being corrupted by the 1969 Novus Ordo abomination.
The article’s silence on the manuscript’s doctrinal content exposes the conciliar sect’s reduction of sacred tradition to ethnographic artifacts. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), modernists treat revelation as “a fruit of man’s religious sentiment”—a fitting description of how Vatican archivists now prize historical novelty over immutable truth. Until the usurpers renounce their false ecumenism and submit to the Social Kingship of Christ, their custody of such treasures remains an act of desecration.
