Conciliar Sect’s “Eastern Churches” Propaganda Masks Apostasy
VaticanNews portal (November 20, 2025) reports the installation of Claudiu-Lucian Pop as “Major Archbishop” of Romanian Greek-Catholics by antipapal envoy “Cardinal” Claudio Gugerotti. The article further promotes interreligious collaboration in Lebanon and RedWeek2025’s “religious freedom” events, framing these as positive developments.
Illegitimate “Installation” Mocks Apostolic Succession
The ceremony presided over by Gugerotti—a representative of antipope Leo XIV’s counterfeit “Dicastery for Eastern Churches”—constitutes sacrilegious theater. True apostolic succession requires cum Petro et sub Petro (with Peter and under Peter) communion with the Roman Pontiff (Council of Florence, Session 6), not submission to antipopes who deny the Kingship of Christ. Pius XI explicitly condemned ecclesial structures divorced from Roman jurisdiction as “schismatic sects” (Quas Primas, §18). The claim that Pop seeks to “deepen communion with Rome” is doubly blasphemous: it equates Bergoglio’s regime with the Holy See and implies Catholic unity can coexist with religious indifferentism.
Lebanon’s Collapse: Fruit of Conciliar Betrayal
The report’s lament over Lebanese Christian institutions’ financial distress ignores the doctrinal root cause: Vatican II’s heretical teaching on religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanæ) severed the bond between Catholic governance and societal order. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). When Maronite leaders embraced this conciliar heresy, they abandoned the lex regia (royal law) requiring civil authorities to uphold Catholicism as the sole true religion. Consequently, Muslim and Druze entities—rightly excluded from public life under pre-1958 doctrine—now dictate terms to starving Christian works.
RedWeek2025: Modernist Subversion of Martyrdom
The article’s promotion of “RedWeek2025” illuminations at the European Parliament exemplifies the conciliar sect’s naturalization of faith. True Christian witness demands odium fidei (hatred of the faith) as the essential condition for martyrdom (St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei, XIII.7). By contrast, this spectacle reduces persecution to a secular “human rights” issue while omitting that most “restrictions” cited by “Aid to the Church in Need” target Catholics who resist liturgical abuses and doctrinal corruption. The 413 million figure deceitfully includes conciliar sect members suffering under regimes that—following Vatican II’s example—equate Catholicism with heresies.
Omissions Expose Apostate Priorities
Nowhere does the article mention:
1. The suppression of the true Byzantine liturgy since 1965, replaced with vernacularized rites stripped of propitiatory sacrifice.
2. The sacrilegious communions given to Orthodox schismatics under antipope Francis’ Amoris Lætitia policies.
3. The supernatural mission of suffering—required for persecuted Christians to merit grace—replaced with worldly activism.
As St. Pius X warned, Modernists “pervert the eternal concept of truth” by reducing religion to sociological phenomena (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, §13). This report exemplifies that perversion, treating Eastern Catholicism as an ethnic costume party rather than the ark of salvation.
