EU-Balkans Summit Exposes Apostasy of Secularized “Ecumenism”
EWTN News reports on the EU-Western Balkans summit (December 17, 2025), framing religious communities as geopolitical stakeholders in regional stability and EU enlargement. The article characterizes Orthodox, Muslim, and Catholic groups as sociological entities whose cooperation is essential for the EU’s secular agenda. “Religious leaders and analysts underscore that the churches […] will be crucial to the success of both European integration”, reducing the One True Church to a NGO servicing Brussels’ bureaucratic imperatives. The summation epitomizes the conciliar sect’s surrender to naturalism.
Naturalistic Reduction of the Church to a Social Service Agency
The article applauds religions for promoting “stability” and “social fabric”, erasing the unum necessarium: the salvation of souls. Not once does it mention Christ’s Kingship over nations or the duty of states to submit to His Social Reign. This omission is deliberate, reflecting the EU’s foundational apostasy condemned by Pius XI: “The rebellion of individuals and states against the authority of Christ has produced deplorable consequences” (Quas Primas, 11). The blasphemous equation of the Catholic Church with Islamic and schismatic communities—“three main religious communities: Orthodox, Muslim, and Catholic”—violates the dogma Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus (Council of Florence, 1442).
The “Religious Freedom in the World Report 2025” by the conciliar-affiliated “Aid to the Church in Need” is cited as authoritative, despite its silence on the EU’s persecution of faithful Catholics resisting vaccine mandates, gender ideology, and eco-modernism. The report’s praise for Albania—where Freemasonry dominates the government—exposes its alignment with Masonic goals of religious indifferentism.
Schismatic “Orthodoxy” as Pawn of Geopolitical Interests
The article uncritically quotes Bishop Kliment of the Macedonian Orthodox Church—a body not in communion with Moscow or Constantinople—hailing his “sisterly relations” with other schismatics. His claim that the EU should be “a platform for political and economic stability, fully respecting religious freedoms” ignores the EU’s war on Christianity through LGBT impositions, abortion funding, and suppression of traditional family law. The Macedonian bishop’s praise for “Pope” Francis’ 2019 visit confirms his participation in the apostate “ecumenism of apostasy” (Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, 1928).
Russia is demonized as an outside agitator (“Russian influence, especially in Serbia”), while the EU’s own Kulturkampf against Christian morality goes unchallenged. This aligns with the Freemasonic strategy to fracture Orthodox resistance to globalism by inflaming ethnic divisions—a tactic documented in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), which condemns those who “equate the Catholic religion with false cults” (Error 77).
Traitorous Clergy Legitimize the Masonic EU Project
Serbia’s ambassador to the Vatican, Sima Avramović, boasts of interfaith dialogue among “seven traditional churches and religious communities”, including Jews and Muslims. This betrayal echoes the conciliar sect’s Assisi abominations, directly condemned by St. Pius X: “The Church cannot participate in false worship without denying Christ” (Lamentabili Sane, 1907). The article’s celebration of Croatian MEP Tonino Picula—who glorified the ethnic cleansing of Serbs in Operation Storm—reveals the EU’s true ethos: not “peace”, but the triumph of neoliberal violence over historical Christendom.
Omission of the Church’s Divine Mission: A Silence That Screams Apostasy
Nowhere does the article recall that the only path to true peace is the conversion of nations to the Catholic Faith. Pius IX’s Syllabus anathematizes the very premise of the summit: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Error 80). The EU’s “enlargement” strategy—bribing Balkan nations to abandon their spiritual patrimony for Brussels’ regulations—is the modern equivalent of the Ottomans’ jizya: submission to secular tyranny in exchange for temporary security.
True Catholics must reject this satanic inversion. As Pope Pius XI declared: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace, and harmony” (Quas Primas, 19). All else is collaboration with the City of Man against the City of God.
