Vatican-Aligned Report Obscures Christ’s Kingship Amid Turkish Persecution
The Catholic News Agency portal (November 26, 2025) reports on persecution against Christians in Turkey ahead of antipope Leo XIV’s visit, citing a European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) document titled “The Persecution of Christians in Turkey.” The report details “legal, institutional, and social hostility” including government interference, property confiscations, forced expulsions of clergy, compulsory Islamic education, and violence such as a 2024 Istanbul church attack. It notes Christianity’s decline from 20% of Turkey’s population in 1915 to under 0.3% today, blaming “restrictive legislation” and denial of the Armenian genocide. The report urges Turkey to grant churches legal recognition, return confiscated properties, and end expulsions of missionaries.
By framing persecution through secular human rights rhetoric while ignoring the divine mandate for nations to submit to Christ the King, this analysis exemplifies the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Catholic integralism.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The ECLJ report reduces Christian persecution to a bureaucratic dispute over “legal personality,” “property rights,” and “administrative obstruction.” This ignores the regalium Christi iura (rights of Christ the King) over all nations, as defined by Pius XI: *”The Empire of our Redeemer embraces all men* […] *Rulers of nations must not neglect to make public profession of reverence and obedience to the rule of Christ”* (Quas Primas, §§18-19). Turkey’s criminalization of evangelization and enforcement of Islamic identity are not mere policy failures but blasphemous rebellion against Divine Majesty.
The report’s proposed solutions—legal recognition, property restitution—accept the heretical premise that Christ’s Church is a NGO negotiating privileges with pagan states. Contrast this with Gregory XVI’s condemnation of religious indifferentism: *”It is contrary to the teaching of the Divine Master that in free States every one be allowed to publish whatever opinions he likes”* (Mirari Vos, §14).
Omission of the Sole Remedy: The Social Kingship of Christ
Nowhere does the report demand Turkey’s conversion or acknowledge that persecution flourishes where Christ’s sovereignty is denied. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemns the modern notion that *”the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church”* (Proposition 55). Yet the ECLJ implicitly endorses this heresy by omitting the duty of states to profess Catholicism as the sole true religion (Pius IX, Quanta Cura, §3).
The report laments Turkey’s “Sunni Islam as primary marker of Turkish identity” but remains silent about the duty of Catholic identity for all nations. This mirrors the conciliar sect’s apostasy at Vatican II, which declared non-Christian religions “reflect a ray of that Truth which enlightens all men” (Nostra Aetate, §2)—a blasphemy directly condemned by Pius XI: *”Far, far from the clergy be the love of novelty!”* (Ubi Arcano, §57).
False Ecumenism as Complicity in Persecution
Antipope Leo XIV’s visit—like John XXIII’s 1962 Istanbul trip—will advance the masonic project of “brotherhood” with Islam. The ECLJ’s outrage over expelled Protestant missionaries ignores that all non-Catholic sects spread doctrinal poison. Leo XIII warned: *”The Church regards them as spurious and illegitimate, and they remain outside of her fold”* (Satis Cognitum, §6).
True Catholics recognize Turkish persecution as divine chastisement for the Vatican II sect’s betrayal. When Paul VI knelt before Turkish diplomats in 1967 and removed his papal tiara, he symbolically rejected Christ’s Kingship—emboldening Islamic persecution. As Pius IX prophesied: *”The abandonment of the rule of Christ will bring calamities upon society”* (Qui Pluribus, §20).
The Modernist Betrayal: From Genocide Denial to Apostasy
While the report condemns Turkey’s denial of the Armenian genocide, it ignores the conciliar sect’s own genocide against Catholic doctrine. The Turkish state murders bodies; the Vatican II sect murders souls by:
– Abolishing the Oath Against Modernism (Paul VI, 1967)
– Promoting false religions at Assisi gatherings (John Paul II, 1986)
– Signing the Abu Dhabi Declaration affirming pluralism (Bergoglio, 2019)
The “armed attack” on Istanbul’s Catholic church mirrors the paramasonic attack on the Traditional Latin Mass by antipope Leo’s Traditionis Custodes (2021). Both are satanic assaults on the Sacrificium Propitiatorium (Propitiatory Sacrifice) of Christ.
Conclusion: The Blood of Martyrs Cries Out Against Apostasy
The 257,000 Turkish Christians suffer not merely Erdogan’s tyranny but the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus (No Salvation Outside the Church). Until antipopes repent and demand nations bow to Christ’s Crown, such reports are empty theater. As the martyrs of Smyrna cried while lions devoured them: *”We are Christians! We worship the One True King!”* Let their blood condemn the Vatican’s traitors.
