Colorado’s Preschool Funding Dispute Exposes Conciliar Sect’s Surrender to Secular Power
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 19, 2025) reports on the “US Conference of Catholic Bishops” (“USCCB”) and Colorado Catholic families petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to include Catholic preschools in the state’s universal preschool funding program. The Archdiocese of Denver and affiliated schools seek access to taxpayer funds despite Colorado’s exclusion of institutions requiring adherence to Catholic teachings on sexuality and gender. The article frames this as a religious liberty issue, quoting “USCCB” claims that exclusion creates a “roadmap” for nationwide First Amendment violations. Amicus briefs from Lutheran, Evangelical, Jewish, and Muslim groups are cited as evidence of broad interfaith support.
State Funding as Trojan Horse for Doctrinal Compromise
The demand for state subsidies constitutes a fundamental betrayal of Christus Rex (Christ the King) principles. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) unequivocally states: “Rulers of nations… must govern their peoples as ministers of God… [to] recognize the royal prerogatives of Christ.” The conciliar sect’s plea for taxpayer dollars implicitly accepts the state’s authority to dictate terms to the Church—a direct inversion of the regnum sociale Christi (social reign of Christ). When schools claim they “aren’t asking for special treatment, just equal treatment,” they embrace the revolutionary lie that divine truth can coexist with state-enforced relativism.
False “Religious Liberty” Paradigm Exposed
The “USCCB’s” lament about “discriminatory exclusion” reveals its adherence to Vatican II’s heresy of religious liberty condemned by pre-1958 magisterium. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) anathematizes the proposition that “every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Error #15). By framing their grievance through the Masonic language of “equal access”, these conciliar operatives discard the Church’s exclusive right to govern education. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) condemns precisely this surrender: “Ecclesiastical judgments… prove that the faith of the Church is contrary to history” (Error #3)—a modernist tactic now deployed by the “USCCB” itself.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Mission
Nowhere does the article mention the primary duty of Catholic education: the salvation of souls through formation in grace. Instead, “Superintendent” Scott Elmer’s focus on “equal treatment” reduces schools to social service providers. The families’ testimony about wanting children to “embrace the Catholic Church’s teachings” is weaponized not to defend immutable doctrine but to demand state validation. This aligns with the condemned modernist view that “Christian doctrine was initially Jewish, but through gradual development, it became… Greek and universal” (Lamentabili Sane, Error #60). The conciliar sect’s silence on the eternal consequences of doctrinal compromise—hell, judgment, salvation—exposes its apostate anthropology.
Collaborationist Strategy of the Conciliar Sect
Becket Law’s involvement exemplifies the conciliar sect’s collaboration with anti-Catholic forces. By joining Muslims, Jews, and Lutherans in amicus briefs, the “USCCB” validates indifferentism condemned by Pius IX: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error #18). The article’s celebration of interfaith alliances confirms St. Pius X’s warning that modernists seek “a broad and liberal Protestantism” (Lamentabili Sane, Error #65). Meanwhile, the term “universal preschool”—a socialist construct—goes unchallenged, revealing the conciliar sect’s internalization of collectivist ideologies antithetical to subsidiarity.
Omission of the Church’s True Weapons
Conspicuously absent is any call for excommunication of Colorado officials enforcing anti-Catholic policies or a mandate for parents to withdraw children from state-controlled systems. Pius XI’s Quas Primas commanded Catholics to “fight courageously… under the banner of Christ the King,” not to beg Caesar for crumbs. The article’s legalistic focus ignores the supernatural arms of prayer, penance, and martyrdom—reducing the Church’s battle to courtroom theatrics. This mirrors the conciliar sect’s wider abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church), instead embracing the condemned view that “the Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics” (Lamentabili Sane, Error #63).
