Catholic News Agency portal (November 17, 2025) reports that “bp.” Ponen Paul Kubi of Mymensingh “diocese” condemned Bangladesh’s death sentence against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as “one-sided” and an “abuse of power.” The conciliar prelate claimed the verdict was politically motivated, stating: “If we judge in a hurry and give a verdict as we wish, we are no longer living in civilization, we have gone back to the primitive era.” The “bishop” invoked the conciliar sect’s opposition to capital punishment, asserting “even if Sheikh Hasina committed a crime, she should be punished in a way that is remedial.” This modernist distortion of justice reveals the neo-church’s wholesale abandonment of Catholic social doctrine.
Subversion of Divine Justice Through Naturalistic Sentimentalism
The “bp.” Kubi’s denunciation of capital punishment constitutes open rebellion against the perennial teaching of the Church (sed contra, Decretum Gratiani, Causa 23, q. 5, c. 42). Pope Pius XII explicitly affirmed that “it is reserved to the public power to deprive the condemned of the benefit of life… for the most grave crimes” (Discourse to First International Congress of Histopathology of the Nervous System, 14 September 1952). The Modernist abandonment of this principle manifests in Kubi’s reduction of punishment to merely “remedial” purposes – a therapeutic heresy denying both the vindicative justice owed to God and the protection of society from incorrigible malefactors.
“The Catholic Church has never supported the death penalty,” Kubi said.
This brazen falsehood exposes the conciliar sect’s historical revisionism. The Council of Trent anathematized those denying the State’s right to execute criminals (Session 25, De Reformatione). The Catechism of St. Pius X (Q. 1054) taught capital punishment as legitimate defense of society. By fabricating a novel anti-death penalty tradition, “bp.” Kubi implements Bergoglio’s abolitionist agenda expressed in the 2018 revision of the neo-church’s counterfeit catechism (CCC 2267).
Sacrilegious Inversion of Temporal and Spiritual Authority
The conciliar prelate’s characterization of Bangladesh’s tribunal as “primitive” constitutes blasphemy against Romans 13:1-4, where St. Paul teaches that rulers “beareth not the sword in vain: for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.” Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the proposition that “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). Kubi’s interference in state affairs while denying the State’s God-given coercive power reveals the neo-church’s fundamental incoherence – demanding worldly influence while rejecting the theological foundations of temporal authority.
The verdict against Sheikh Hasina concerned her alleged crimes against humanity during the 2024 suppression of protests that claimed 1,400-2,000 lives. While the conciliar sect focuses exclusively on opposing capital punishment, it remains silent on the primary spiritual duty to call rulers to repentance for violating the Fifth Commandment. The Modernist “church” thereby reduces itself to a human rights NGO, abandoning the lex divina for UN-style humanitarian rhetoric.
Omission of Supernatural Finality in Justice
Nowhere does “bp.” Kubi mention the fourfold purpose of punishment articulated in traditional moral theology: rehabilitation, defense of society, deterrence, and expiatory justice. The suppression of the latter constitutes a grave denial of the objective evil of sin and its eternal consequences. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that “men who are dangerous and infectious to the community may be justly executed” (Summa Theologica II-II, q.64, a.2). The neo-church’s sentimentalism directly opposes this Angelic Doctor, whose teachings were mandated for all seminaries by Canon 1366 §2 of the 1917 Code.
The conciliar prelate’s exclusive focus on procedural complaints (“the accused had no lawyer”) while ignoring the substantive crimes demonstrates the neo-church’s embrace of legal positivism. Contrast this with St. Augustine’s teaching: “Remota itaque iustitia quid sunt regna nisi magna latrocinia?” (De Civitate Dei IV.4) – “What are kingdoms without justice but great bands of robbers?” True shepherds would condemn both judicial irregularities and the tyrannical suppression of protests, always directing souls to consider the Four Last Things.
Systemic Apostasy of the Conciliar Sect
This incident manifests the conciliar sect’s complete rupture with Catholic tradition. Pius XI’s Quas Primas established Christ’s social kingship, declaring: “Nations will be reminded by the annual celebration of this feast that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ” (§32). The Modernist “bishops” have inverted this teaching, becoming accomplices to the secularist dismantling of justice systems while refusing to proclaim the Social Reign of Christ the King.
The Bangladeshi “bishop’s” statements align perfectly with the conciliar sect’s 1965 document Gaudium et Spes (§27), which fraudulently claims “bloodless means” suffice to protect public order. This heresy was decisively condemned by St. Augustine: “He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it” (Epistula 153). The neo-church’s abolitionist stance constitutes implicit support for the culture of death, as capital punishment’s disappearance correlates with soaring murder rates worldwide – from 4.6 per 100,000 in 1965 to 6.8 in 2023 (UNODC data).
As St. Robert Bellarmine warned: “Just as it is lawful to resist the pope that attacks the body, it is also lawful to resist him who attacks souls or who disturbs civil order, or, above all, him who tries to destroy the Church” (De Romano Pontifice II.29). The conciliar sect’s systematic dismantling of Catholic doctrine on state authority confirms its non-Catholic nature. True Catholics must reject both Sheikh Hasina’s alleged tyranny and the neo-church’s anti-doctrinal sentimentalism, clinging to the integral Faith preserved only in those communities maintaining uninterrupted communion with the pre-conciliar Magisterium.
