Cardinal Parolin’s Naturalist Distortion of True Peace and Justice
Vatican News portal (November 20, 2025) reports on a Mass celebrated by “Cardinal” Pietro Parolin commemorating victims of the 1932-1933 Holodomor famine while decrying current attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. The event, organized by the Ukrainian Embassy to the “Holy See” and the Sovereign Order of Malta, featured appeals for “dialogue” and “compromise” to end the war, framed through purely humanitarian concerns. Parolin condemned “actions that deprive civilians of dignity” as “an offense against humanity and an outrage against God” while avoiding any mention of Ukraine’s need for conversion to the Catholic Faith or submission to Christ the King.
Reduction of Divine Justice to Secular Humanitarianism
Parolin’s statement that forcing civilians to endure darkness and cold constitutes an “outrage against God” employs theological language while systematically excluding the supernatural order. Nowhere does he identify the root cause of modern conflicts: mankind’s rejection of Regnum Christi (the Kingship of Christ). Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas explicitly taught that “the rebellion of individuals and states against the authority of Christ has produced deplorable consequences” and that “nations will vainly hope for lasting peace” until they recognize Christ’s reign (Quas Primas, §1, §18).
The “cardinal’s” appeal to “human dignity” devoid of its theological foundation – man’s creation in God’s image and redemption through Christ’s Blood – echoes the naturalism condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error #55). His call for “compromise” between warring parties directly contradicts the uncompromising Catholic position that “there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Omission of Supernatural Ends in Favor of Earthly Comfort
Parolin’s exclusive focus on physical suffering (“darkness, cold, hunger“) while ignoring the eternal damnation risked by souls immersed in schism (Ukrainian Orthodoxy) or secularism reveals a modernist distortion of charity. The Council of Trent anathematized those who claim good works are unnecessary for salvation (Session VI, Canon 19), yet the “cardinal” reduces Christian duty to alleviating temporal discomforts.
The Holodomor commemoration itself becomes weaponized when divorced from its doctrinal context. While condemning Soviet atrocities, Parolin remains silent on Ukraine’s ongoing rejection of Catholic unity under Peter’s successor – a silence enabling the very religious indifferentism Pius XI called “a most grave error” (Mortalium Animos, §2).
Symptomatic Embrace of Anti-Catholic Peace Frameworks
Parolin’s endorsement of Trump’s 28-point peace plan and insistence that “both sides must be satisfied” illustrates the conciliar sect’s surrender to geopolitical pragmatism. Contrast this with Pius XII’s unequivocal stance: “A peace which does not rest on the solid base of Christian principles is but a name, a cover for ever-recurring conflicts” (Radio Message, August 24, 1939).
The event’s collaborators – the Sovereign Order of Malta (whose leadership openly promotes abortion access) and Ukrainian diplomats (representing a state persecuting the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) – expose Parolin’s adherence to Vatican II’s false ecumenism. As the Holy Office decreed under St. Pius X: “Catholics cannot approve of those who praise non-Catholic sects… fostering the pernicious opinion that all religions are more or less good” (Lamentabili sane exitu, Error #18).
Conclusion: The Eclipse of Catholic Identity
This spectacle exemplifies how the Vatican occupiers have replaced lex orandi, lex credendi (the law of prayer is the law of belief) with humanitarian theater. By reducing Mass to a political platform and ignoring Ukraine’s need for doctrinal conversion, Parolin confirms his alignment with the “abomination of desolation” (Mt 24:15) – a sect that “professes to be Catholic while undermining Catholic principles” (St. Pius X, Pascendi, §39). True peace remains impossible while Rome’s usurpers deny Christ’s Social Kingship and collaborate with His enemies.
