Humanitarian Masquerade: Vance’s Border Defense Versus Catholic Truth
Catholic News Agency reports (November 20, 2025) U.S. Vice President JD Vance justified mass deportation policies as “humanitarian” while claiming fidelity to Catholic teaching. Responding to the antipope Leo XIV’s call to heed USCCB statements opposing “indiscriminate mass deportation,” Vance asserted: “Border security is not just good for American citizens… It is the humanitarian thing to do for the entire world.” The vice president, self-identifying as “a devout Catholic,” selectively quoted the conciliar sect’s catechism on border regulation while ignoring its calls for migrant protections.
Naturalism Disguised as Catholic Teaching
Vance’s argument rests on purely naturalistic premises foreign to Catholic social doctrine: “My priority… is to look after the people of the United States of America.” This utilitarian calculus directly contradicts Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas, which commands rulers to recognize that “the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” and that states are “happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men” (n. 19). The vice president reduces migrants to potential criminals, citing Sec. Kristi Noem’s statistic that 70% of detained migrants “have criminal charges against them” while ignoring Stanford studies showing immigrants’ lower incarceration rates.
“You cannot do that if you’re flooding the country with a ton of illegal immigrants and the drugs and the crime that they bring,” Vance told Breitbart.
This fearmongering language exposes the modernist heresy of “human dignity” severed from supernatural destiny. As Pius XII condemned in Summi Pontificatus, the Church rejects “the forgetfulness of that law of human solidarity and charity which is dictated and imposed… by our common origin and by the equality of rational nature in all men.” The USCCB’s timid call for “humane treatment” remains equally compromised, omitting any reference to Christ’s command to “welcome the stranger” (Mt 25:35) as spiritual imperative rather than political option.
The Conciliar Sect’s Theological Bankruptcy
The so-called “US Conference of Catholic Bishops” reveals its apostasy by lamenting “the vilification of immigrants” while maintaining communion with the antipope Leo XIV – himself an architect of ecclesial destruction. Their statement that “generations of immigrants have made enormous contributions to the well-being of our nation” reduces the Church’s mission to worldly utility, betraying Pius IX’s condemnation in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55).
Vance’s claim to follow “the Catholic Church’s quite clear views” demonstrates the post-conciliar eclipse of doctrine. True Catholic immigration policy would begin with Pius X’s Lamentabili sane condemnation of modernist biblical interpretation (Proposition 20), which undermines Christ’s divine commands. Instead, both Vance and the USCCB treat migration as a technocratic problem solvable through border militarization or social programs – never mentioning the duty of nations to facilitate conversion through immigration.
Omission of the Social Kingship of Christ
The gravest silence lies in both politicians and conciliar “bishops” ignoring the immutable truth: “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Quas Primas declares that rulers must “fulfill this duty themselves and with their people… to contribute to the increase of their homeland’s happiness” through public veneration of Christ (n. 32). Vance’s secular border arguments directly oppose this, treating America as a closed polity rather than territory under Christ’s universal reign.
Meanwhile, the antipope’s vague call for “humane treatment” continues Bergoglio’s heresy of “welcoming the foreigner” without demanding their conversion – a fatal omission Pius XII identified when warning that “false humanitarianism” destroys souls. The “catechism” quote cited by Vance (CCC 2241) is invalid, having been promulgated by the apostate Wojtyła regime in 1992. True Catholic teaching remains found in Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum: “The first and most fundamental principle… if one would undertake to alleviate the condition of the masses, must be the inviolability of private property” (n. 15) – anathema to both open borders and mass deportation schemes.
Pseudo-Catholicism Serving Masonic Order
This debate’s parameters – whether to deport migrants en masse or regulate their flow – constitute a diabolical dialectic ignoring the real crisis: nations’ rejection of Regnum Christi. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi, modernists reduce religion to “vital immanence” where “faith is based on a sum of probabilities” (Proposition 25). Vance exemplifies this by treating border policy as balance between competing humanitarian concerns rather than application of divine law.
The conciliar sect’s complicity is complete. Their “special message” cites no Scripture, invokes no saints, and omits the Mass’s propitiatory power for nations. When they vaguely reference “pastoral care,” they mean post-Conciliar sacramental simulations invalid by Pope Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis standards. Thus do both “conservative” politicians and modernist clerics advance the Masonic project of nation-states autonomous from Christ the King – the very error condemned in the Syllabus of Errors’ rejection that “the Roman pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80).
Until rulers kneel before the true Sovereign as did Charlemagne and St. Louis, all immigration debates remain Satan’s theater – distracting from the only solution: “Restore all things in Christ” (E supremi, Pius X).
