VaticanNews portal reports the appointment of Nigerian priest Anthony Onyemuche Ekpo as assessor for general affairs of the Vatican Secretariat of State, succeeding Roberto Campisi who now serves as permanent observer to UNESCO. Ekpo, ordained in 2011 for the Diocese of Umuahia, holds dual doctorates from the Australian Catholic University and Pontifical Gregorian University, and previously worked under modernist Cardinal Michael Czerny at the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. His new role involves overseeing Catholic international organizations connected to the Vatican. This bureaucratic reshuffle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of the Church’s divine mission in favor of globalist technocracy.
Naturalization of the Church’s Supernatural Mission
The very existence of a Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development constitutes a fundamental betrayal of the Church’s raison d’être. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) unambiguously declared that “the kingdom of our Redeemer embraces all men… to restore all things in Christ” through their submission to the Kingship of Christ, not through socio-political engineering. The term “integral human development” — a Marxist construct popularized by Paul VI’s Populorum Progressio — substitutes the supernatural order with anthropocentric utopianism. As the Syllabus of Errors condemned under Pius IX: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error #80). Ekpo’s career trajectory from Czerny’s office to the Secretariat of State reveals the sect’s systematic elimination of priestly identity: from alter Christus to NGO bureaucrat.
“My desire is to be able to collaborate with the superiors and employees of the dicastery, to advance the vision of the dicastery and the mission of the Church.”
This statement exposes the inversion of ends and means. The Church’s mission — defined by Pius X as “to lead mankind to inexpressible eternal goods” — is subordinated to a “vision of the dicastery.” Ekpo’s flawless multilingualism (English, Italian, French, Igbo) serves not the unam sanctam but the technocratic demands of global governance, fulfilling the Masonic dream of a “brotherhood” emancipated from the Kingship of Christ.
Theological Contamination Through Academic Credentials
Ekpo’s dual doctorates from the Australian Catholic University and Pontifical Gregorian University certify his immersion in heretical methodologies. The Gregorian University — whose theologian Fr. Karl Rahner spearheaded the nouvelle théologie condemned in Pius XII’s Humani Generis — remains a factory of modernist corruption. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili sane exitu (1907) explicitly condemned the proposition that “truth changes with man, because it develops with him” (Error #58) — precisely the evolutionary dogma underpinning Ekpo’s studies. His 2021 canon law doctorate inevitably incorporates the heresies of the 1983 Code, which abolished the Church’s penal sanctions against heresy (Canon 1364 §2) and facilitated the current apostasy.
African Clergy as Instruments of Ecclesiastical Colonialism
The strategic promotion of Nigerian priests — following Leo XIV’s recent appointment of Edward Daniang Daleng as vice regent of the Papal Household — exploits African demographics to legitimize the conciliar sect’s rupture with Tradition. While Ekpo’s Igbo-language fluency is touted as an asset, the true purpose is evident: to accelerate the colonization of African souls by globalist Catholicism. Contrast this with the authentic missionary work of pre-conciliar saints like St. Théophane Vénard, who sought not bureaucratic appointments but martyrdom for the conversion of souls. The Syllabus of Errors denounced those who claim “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error #18) — yet Ekpo’s ecumenical activities under Czerny’s dicastery promote precisely this indifferentism.
Silence on the Primacy of the Supernatural
Nowhere does the article mention Ekpo’s fidelity to the Immemorial Mass, the state of his priestly soul, or his commitment to extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. This omission reflects the conciliar sect’s deliberate erasure of sanctifying grace from ecclesiastical discourse. Pius XI warned in Quas Primas that when “men have thrust Jesus Christ and his holy law out of their lives,” society becomes “shaken to its foundations.” By celebrating administrative appointments while ignoring the sacerdotal duty to “offer sacrifice for sins” (Hebrews 5:1), the VaticanNews portal confirms its complicity in what St. Pius X called “the synthesis of all heresies.”
