Vatican Diplomacy as Apostasy: Habsburg’s Decade of Conciliar Complicity
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 9, 2025) reports on Eduard Habsburg’s completion of his tenure as Hungary’s ambassador to the post-conciliar Vatican structures. The article describes Habsburg’s “incredibly positive” relationship with antipope Bergoglio (“Francis”), recounts humorous interactions with the modernist theologian Ratzinger (“Benedict XVI”), and praises the current Vatican usurper Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) as “balanced and just.” This narrative exemplifies the conciliar sect’s complete absorption of Catholic nobility into its apostate project, reducing the supernatural mission of Christ’s Kingdom to naturalistic diplomacy.
Diplomatic Service to Antichurch Structures
The very premise of “ambassadorial relations” with the Vatican occupiers constitutes formal cooperation with ecclesiastical revolutionaries who have systematically destroyed Catholic doctrine since 1958. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the notion that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80). Yet Habsburg boasts of facilitating antipope Bergoglio’s 2021 and 2023 visits to Hungary – visits that promoted the conciliar sect’s false ecumenism rather than the Social Kingship of Christ.
The article’s glowing description of Habsburg’s decade of service ignores the non possumus (“we cannot”) principle that governed true Catholic-state relations. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas: “Rulers of states therefore [must] fulfil this duty themselves and with their people” of publicly venerating Christ the King. Instead, Hungary’s continuous diplomatic engagement since 1990 implicitly recognizes the conciliar sect’s legitimacy – a betrayal mirroring the Habsburg dynasty’s historic compromises with Freemasonry.
Theological Corruption in Personal Anecdotes
Habsburg’s recollection of Ratzinger’s (“Benedict XVI”) joke about creating a “thriller about Thomism” exposes the Modernist reduction of sacred theology to intellectual entertainment. This aligns perfectly with Pius X’s condemnation in Lamentabili Sane of those who treat dogmas as “opinions concerning human abilities” (Proposition 5). The article’s focus on personality-driven vignettes – Bergoglio’s “smiles” and Prevost’s multilingualism – exemplifies the conciliar sect’s displacement of lex credendi by cults of personality.
Notably absent is any reference to Hungary’s actual Catholic heritage – the crown of St. Stephen dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the centuries of resistance against both Ottoman and communist persecution. Instead, we get Bergoglio’s alleged affection for three religious sisters who fled the 1956 Soviet crackdown. This manipulation of martyrdom narratives serves the conciliar agenda: Lamentabili condemned exactly such “evolution” where “Christian doctrine was initially Jewish, but through gradual development, it became first Pauline, then Johannine, and finally Greek and universal” (Proposition 60).
The False Objectivity of Conciliar “Balance”
The praise for antipope Prevost (“Leo XIV”) as “balanced and just” constitutes textbook Modernist deception. True Roman pontiffs governed with fortiter in re, suaviter in modo (“firmness in action, gentleness in manner”), not the vacillating “balance” demanded by the world. Pius X’s encyclical Pascendi exposed this tactic: Modernists “affect the greatest reverence for religion” while destroying its foundations.
Habsburg’s assurance that he’ll “keep a foot in that world” of Vatican diplomacy after leaving his post confirms the seamless continuity between conciliar functionaries and the globalist apparatus. His doctoral thesis on Aquinas and Vatican II – approved by the modernist Ratzinger – symbolizes the conciliar corruption of Thomism into a weapon against tradition, precisely what Lamentabili condemned as “not only not proved, but contrary to the tradition of the Apostles” (Proposition 64).
Omission as Confession
The article’s silence about Hungary’s actual Catholic legacy speaks volumes. No mention of the Hungarian Saints – Stephen, Emeric, Elizabeth – nor of Cardinal Mindszenty’s heroic resistance. Instead, we get saccharine anecdotes about Bergoglio learning Hungarian phrases. This mirrors the conciliar sect’s systematic replacement of supernatural faith with humanitarian sentiment – exactly what Pius XI condemned when warning that “the pursuit of novelty” leads to “deplorable consequences” (Quas Primas).
Habsburg’s claim to have “seen it all” during his decade-long service ironically confirms the conciliar sect’s complete divorce from Catholic tradition. True ambassadors to the Holy See – like those serving Pius XII – witnessed the immutable majesty of Christ’s Vicar, not the revolving door of modernist innovators. His departure changes nothing: the conciliar masquerade continues its relentless erosion of what remains of Catholic identity in Hungary and beyond.
