Conciliar Sect’s Lebanon Aid Masks Apostasy and Naturalism
VaticanNews portal (December 8, 2025) reports on Aid to the Church in Need’s efforts to support Christians in Lebanon through schools and emergency aid amid Hezbollah-Israel conflicts. The article emphasizes material assistance, “interreligious dialogue,” and cooperation with post-conciliar structures while systematically omitting the supernatural mission of the Church. This exemplifies the conciliar sect’s reduction of Catholicism to a humanitarian NGO.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The article reduces the Church’s divine mandate to a social welfare agency, stating:
“Pastoral care and education are the charity’s two main priorities.”
Notably absent is any mention of the sine qua non of Catholic pastoral care: sanctification through the sacraments, particularly the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (Trent, Session XXII). By funding schools without ensuring doctrinal purity, the conciliar sect facilitates indifferentism. The report boasts of Muslim children attending Salesian activities, echoing Pius XI’s condemnation: “They suppose the Church to strive for nothing else but a certain reconciliation of all forms of religion” (Mortalium Animos, §2).
False Ecumenism as Capitulation to Islam
Bishop Hanna Rahmé’s dialogue with Hezbollah-affiliated Muslims is praised:
“Bishop Hanna Rahmé of Baalbek-Deir El-Ahmar nevertheless maintains dialogue with his Muslim ‘neighbors,’ because ‘we have no choice but to live together.’”
This violates the dogma extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (Council of Florence, Cantate Domino) and Pius IX’s condemnation of religious indifferentism: “They are in a deplorable state who regard all religions as equally legitimate” (Qui pluribus, §15). The article’s silence on conversions reveals its apostate assumption that Islam is a valid path to salvation.
Legitimization of Masonic “Charitable” Structures
Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) and L’Œuvre d’Orient – both post-conciliar entities – are presented as lifelines for Lebanese Christians. However, their cooperation with Hezbollah-exposed communities (e.g., rebuilding homes while ignoring Hezbollah’s weapons cache) implicates them in enabling Islamic jihad. As Pius VIII warned: “They who take part in the assemblies and societies of heretics… are separated from the communion of the Church” (Traditi Humilitati, §4). The article’s celebration of interfaith projects (“culture of encounter”) aligns with the masonic goal of syncretism condemned in Leo XIII’s Humanum Genus.
Omission of Supernatural Hope Amid Persecution
While detailing Israeli bombings and Hezbollah discrimination, the article reduces Christian resilience to material stability:
“Without housing and without schools for their children, Christians leave.”
This ignores the martyrial vocation of Catholics in Islamic lands. No mention is made of sanctifying grace, the Rosary, or the martyrs of Damascus (1860), whose blood fructified the Church. Contrast this with Pius XI’s teaching: “The peace of Christ can only be achieved in the Kingdom of Christ” (Quas Primas, §1). The report’s earthly pragmatism reflects Modernism’s denial of the supernatural, condemned in St. Pius X’s Pascendi (§37).
Novus Ordo “Renewal” as Spiritual Deception
The article fraudulently claims renewal through Maronite Sisters receiving novices:
“Sister Marie-Antoinette Saadé… welcomes the novices to the convent at Aabrine.”
However, these sisters operate under the apostate “pope” Leo XIV, whose false magisterium invalidates their formation. True religious life requires separation from the world (Council of Trent, Session XXV), not dialogue with Hezbollah. The Beit Maroun monks’ “contagious joy” while building a monastery amidst Islamic terror is a dangerous illusion, ignoring St. Augustine’s warning: “There is no true peace outside the City of God” (De Civitate Dei, XIX.17).
