Tanzanian Bishops’ Silence on Christ’s Kingship Amidst Election Carnage
Vatican News portal (November 19, 2025) reports on Tanzanian “Bishop” Wolfgang Pisa condemning state violence against protesters following contested elections. The article quotes Pisa lamenting security forces who “fired and killed not only those demonstrating but even bystanders,” labeling their actions as “reckless, without mercy.” He alleges hospitals were instructed to deny care to injured protesters and that bodies were hidden to obscure death tolls. Pisa traces the violence to systemic abuses since 2020—87 kidnappings, 36 killings—and condemns the ruling party’s suppression of opposition, declaring the last “fair elections” occurred in 2015. The “bishop” concludes by asserting the “Church’s responsibility to bear witness to truth,” demanding leaders apologize and an “independent committee” investigate.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Secular Activism
Pisa’s intervention exemplifies the conciliar sect’s abandonment of the Church’s divine mandate. While decrying state violence, he reduces the Church’s role to a human-rights NGO, demanding procedural fixes like an “independent committee” while ignoring the root cause: Tanzania’s rejection of Christ’s Social Kingship. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) condemns this very error: nations that “renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior” invite chaos, for “the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.”
Nowhere does Pisa invoke the Regnum Christi or call for Tanzania’s submission to divine law. Instead, he upholds protest as an abstract “right of the people,” detached from its moral framework. This mirrors the condemned error of the Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX, 1864), which rejects the notion that “the State, as the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a right not circumscribed by any limits” (Proposition 39). True rights derive from God, not democratic sentiment.
Theological Vacuum: Naturalism Replacing Supernatural Faith
The report’s language exposes a modernist cancer. Pisa speaks of “truth, justice, and peace” devoid of their divine source—a violation of Lamentabili Sane (1907), which condemns the reduction of revelation to “man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20). His demand for an apology from politicians substitutes pagan dignitatis humana for the Church’s uncompromising call to repentance.
Crucially, the “bishop” omits any reference to the sacraments, prayer, or the judgment of God. When hospitals denied care, where was the exhortation to corporal works of mercy? When corpses piled up, where was the warning of Novissimi—Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell? This silence echoes the “cult of man” decried by St. Pius X, where “humanity’s progress” replaces salvation as the Church’s goal.
Complicity in the Masonic “Rights” Narrative
Pisa’s focus on “multiparty democracy” and “fair elections” as ideals exposes adherence to condemned liberal errors. Pius IX’s Syllabus anathematizes the claim that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). By framing Tanzania’s crisis as a failure of secular governance rather than apostasy, the “bishop” legitimizes the very Freemasonic principles that banish Christ from public life.
Worse, his appeal to the “University of Dar es Salaam’s Union of Academics” for casualty figures elevates human reason above ecclesiastical authority—a direct violation of Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), which condemns Modernists who “place the philosopher above the theologian.” True shepherds would cite canon law and papal encyclicals, not secular institutions.
The Abomination of Desolation in Tanzania
While Pisa laments state violence, he ignores his own sect’s complicity. The “conciliar church” has for decades ordained bishops who deny extra Ecclesiam nulla salus and embrace religious liberty—the heresy condemned by Pius IX’s Quanta Cura. Tanzania’s rulers persecute Catholics because Rome’s apostates no longer teach nations to “kiss the Son, lest He be angry” (Psalm 2:12).
Where are the calls for Tanzania’s consecration to Christ the King? Where is the denunciation of its secular constitution? Until the Church demands rulers “serve the Lord with fear” (Psalm 2:11), bloodshed will prevail. As St. Augustine warned: “Remota iustitia quid sunt regna nisi magna latrocinia?” (Without justice, what are kingdoms but great robberies?).
