Nigeria’s Abduction Crisis Exposes Conciliar Sect’s Spiritual Bankruptcy
Vatican News portal (November 22, 2025) reports on the abduction of 315 students and staff from St. Mary’s Catholic schools in Papiri, Nigeria, managed by the Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles (OLA). Sr. Mary T Barron, Congregation Leader of the OLA Sisters, issued a global prayer appeal while “Bishop” Bulus Dauwa Yohanna of Kontagora denied prior security warnings, calling them “propaganda.” The article frames the tragedy through naturalistic appeals for “peace” and “justice” while ignoring the supernatural causes of Nigeria’s collapse into violence.
Omission of Supernatural Realities Reveals Apostate Mentality
The conciliar sect’s response to this atrocity exemplifies its abandonment of regnum sociale Christi (the social reign of Christ). Nowhere does the article mention:
- The necessity of Nigeria’s public conversion to the Catholic Faith as the only solution to terrorism (Pius XI, Quas Primas: “Nations will be happy… when both individuals and states submit to the reign of our Savior”)
- God’s permission of such evils as consequentia peccati (consequence of sin) requiring penance and reparation
- The sacrilegious nature of “prayers” offered while Nigeria tolerates blasphemous false religions and the conciliar sect’s own heretical teachings
Sr. Barron’s vague invocation of “God’s infinite mercy” deliberately avoids naming Our Lord Jesus Christ – a hallmark of the ecumenical apostasy condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (Errors 15-18).
“We believe deeply in the power of unified prayer”
This statement reduces prayer to a magical incantation, severed from the requirement of dispositiones ad gratiam (dispositions for grace). The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1258) forbade prayer in common with heretics, yet the OLA Sisters invite “people of goodwill” – including Muslims and pagans – to join their appeals. This violates the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus principle and mocks the martyrs who died rather than compromise with false religions.
Conciliar ‘Bishop’ Embodies Failed Shepherds
“Bishop” Yohanna’s claim that authorities issued no warning exposes the conciliar sect’s collusion with anti-Christian regimes. His admission that the diocese closed schools in 2022 “when we heard rumours” proves negligence in safeguarding children once political pressure eased. This fulfills Pius X’s warning in Pascendi Dominici Gregis:
“Modernists substitute for the divine vigilance over the Church the prudence of the director” (§26)
The “bishop’s” plea for cooperation with “government authorities” ignores that Nigeria’s constitution (Article 10) establishes religious indifferentism – condemned by Pius IX as the “plague of indifferentism” (Qui Pluribus). True shepherds would demand the state recognize Christ as King, not beg favors from regimes that license Mohammedan violence.
Structural Apostasy as Root Cause
Nigeria’s descent into chaos directly results from the conciliar sect’s betrayal of Catholic mission. Statistics reveal the fruit of this apostasy:
- 63 million “Catholics” (53% of population) according to Vatican News (2023)
- Yet Sharia law implemented in 12 northern states since 1999
- Over 50,000 Christians murdered by Islamic terrorists since 2009 (Intersociety report, 2024)
The OLA Sisters themselves embody this failure. Founded in 19th-century France to combat African paganism, they now operate schools where (as the photo shows) students wear Islamic hijabs alongside crucifixes – a sacrilege echoing the “abomination of desolation” (Daniel 9:27).
True Catholic Response: Reign of Christ or Ruin
Authentic pre-1958 doctrine provides the only solution:
- Public consecration of Nigeria to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by valid bishops
- Expulsion of Mohammedan impostors and demolition of mosques (Council of Toledo IV, Canon 57)
- Restoration of the Lex orandi through the Traditional Latin Mass, since the Novus Ordo sacraments lack efficacy for societal conversion
Until Nigeria embraces Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat, no “prayers” or “security cooperation” will halt the bloodshed. The conciliar sect’s mealy-mouthed appeals merely confirm its complicity in the martyrdom of Africa’s faithful.
