Nigeria School Kidnapping: Naturalism Masks Christian Persecution
Vatican News portal (November 22, 2025) reports the abduction of 300+ students and teachers from St. Mary’s Catholic School in Nigeria’s Niger State. The article frames the attack as part of generalized insecurity, quoting Niger State Secretary Abubakar Usman blaming the school for reopening “without informing authorities” and downplaying religious motives. The U.S. State Department’s Jonathan Pratt vaguely references “protecting religious communities,” while the Diocese of Kontagora’s statement emphasizes “coordinated security efforts” over spiritual remedies.
Omission of Religious Persecution Constitutes Complicity
The report’s insistence that violence targets “all Nigerians regardless of religious affiliation” directly contradicts Pius XI’s condemnation of religious indifferentism in Quas Primas: “Christ must reign in society or it collapses into barbarism.” By echoing the Nigerian government’s naturalistic narrative, the conciliar sect’s news organ commits three betrayals:
1. **Historical Reality**: Boko Haram’s 2009-2025 campaign explicitly seeks to eradicate Christianity, having slaughtered 52,000 Nigerian Catholics (Intersociety report, 2023). Silence on this constitutes cooperatores in malum (cooperation in evil).
2. **Supernatural Duty**: No call for prayer, Eucharistic reparation, or exorcisms—the Church’s true weapons (Eph. 6:12). Contrast this with Pope Pius V mobilizing Christendom against the Ottoman menace through Rosary crusades after Lepanto.
3. **Sacramental Abdication**: The diocese’s statement reduces “concern” to bureaucratic security coordination, ignoring Canon 1326’s mandate to employ spiritualis gladius (spiritual sword) against persecutors.
U.S. Sanctions: Masonic Subversion Disguised as Aid
Pratt’s threat of sanctions “with help from the Pentagon” exposes the Vatican-Masonic alliance. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 2335) excommunicates Catholics who collaborate with Masonic powers. Washington’s “protection” agenda follows the 1899 Americanist heresy condemned in Leo XIII’s Testem Benevolentiae, which warned against reducing the Church to a “humanitarian agency” under state control.
“Security agencies were immediately informed and have launched coordinated efforts…” (Diocesan statement)
This secularized language mirrors the modernist heresy defined in Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis (§6): substituting divine grace with natural means. Where are the processions with the Blessed Sacrament? Where is the imposition of the Brown Scapular—the armor against diabolical forces approved by Popes since John XXII?
Theological Cowardice Emboldens Jihad
By attributing attacks to generic “bandits,” the report whitewashes the jihadist eschatology driving Boko Haram—a heresy Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (Proposition 77) for equating Christianity with pagan cults. The kidnapping’s timing (1-3 AM) bears the hallmark of Satanic ritual, yet the conciliar church refuses to name the enemy, fulfilling Paul VI’s lament: “The smoke of Satan has entered the sanctuary.”
Symptomatic of Conciliar Apostasy
This tragedy exemplifies the conciliar sect’s bankruptcy. Contrast the Diocese of Kontagora’s tepid response with the 1585 martyrdom of 11,000 Nagasaki Catholics, who chose death rather than surrender their schools to Shogunate persecutors. Vatican News’ refusal to demand Nigeria’s consecration to Christ the King (as Quas Primas mandated) confirms its apostasy. When 25 female students were kidnapped a week prior, did Bergoglio’s “prayer intention” video go viral? No—his November 2025 message promoted “ecological conversion,” proving the abomination of desolation (Dan 9:27) now occupies Peter’s chair.
As St. Augustine warned: “Securitas iudicat orbem terrarum” (False security betrays the world). Until Nigeria’s government publicly consecrates itself to the Sacred Heart—rejecting the Vatican II heresy of religious liberty—such atrocities will escalate. The blood of martyrs cries out, but the conciliar sect plugs its ears with the cotton wool of “dialogue.”
