VaticanNews.va reports on December 23, 2025, about Russian missile strikes killing civilians in Ukraine, including a four-year-old child, while emphasizing “humanitarian emergency” and political negotiations involving Donald Trump’s envoys. The article frames the conflict through secular geopolitical analysis, quoting Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s condemnation of Vladimir Putin and detailing proposed territorial compromises. Nowhere does it invoke the divine moral order or the duty of nations to submit to Christ the King.
Naturalistic Framing Overlooks Divine Justice
The report’s exclusive focus on temporal suffering—”power outages,” “bitter winter cold,” and “humanitarian emergency”—exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Quas Primas (1925), where Pius XI declared that “nations will be happy and peaceful only when they obediently accept the rule of Christ the King.” By omitting the primary cause of war: mankind’s collective rebellion against God, the Vatican’s mouthpiece reduces catastrophe to mere technical failures. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemned such naturalism: “All the rectitude and excellence of morality ought to be placed in… the gratification of pleasure” (Error 58). The murdered child becomes a statistic rather than a soul whose death demands satisfactio through penance and conversion.
Silence on Apostasy as Root Cause
While detailing Trump’s envoys pushing Ukraine to “abandon its ambitions to join NATO” in exchange for “security guarantees,” the article ignores how both Russia and Ukraine have institutionalized apostasy. Russia’s schismatic Orthodoxy and Ukraine’s post-Maidan alliance with LGBTQ groups (codified in its 2024 EU accession treaty) defy the immutable teaching that “there is no other name under heaven… by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Pius XI’s encyclical explicitly warned that states rejecting Christ’s reign “contribute to the destruction of people” (Quas Primas, §18). The conciliar sect’s refusal to denounce this blasphemy—while parroting UN-style “humanitarian” rhetoric—confirms its complicity in what St. Pius X called “the suicide of altering the Faith” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, §39).
False Peace Built on Sacrilegious Compromise
Trump’s alleged observation about “hatred between those two people” exemplifies the naturalism condemned by Leo XIII: “When the State is ruled without regard to religion… it strays far from its end and from the perfection of which it is capable” (Immortale Dei, §6). The proposed territorial concessions—requiring Ukraine to surrender land—violate the Church’s teaching on just peace, which demands restitutio for aggressors (Aquinas, Summa II-II Q40 A1). Yet the conciliar “diplomats” remain silent, having long embraced the heresy of religious indifferentism condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus (Errors 15-18). Their “peace talks” echo the apostate cry of “Peace, peace! when there is no peace” (Jeremiah 6:14).
Conciliar Sect’s Complicity in Global Apostasy
The article’s reference to Poland scrambling jets—a NATO member—reveals deeper collusion. Post-conciliar “popes” have steadily subverted Catholic nations into the Masonic project of global governance, as Pius IX warned: “The Roman Pontiff cannot reconcile himself with… modern civilization” (Syllabus, Error 80). By framing the conflict through NATO’s geopolitical lens rather than the Kingship of Christ, the VaticanNews.va betrays its role in what St. Pius X termed “the organized apostasy of society” (Editae Saepe, §3). The absence of any call for public consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart—a true remedy per pre-1958 Mariology—confirms the conciliar sect’s adherence to the False Fatima Apparitions thesis exposing such devotions as Masonic operations.
Conclusion: The Only Path to Peace
Until nations kneel before the Regnum Christi, such atrocities will multiply. As Pius XI decreed: “When men… publicly venerate and obey Christ the King, peace will flourish” (Quas Primas, §19). The blood of Ukrainian children cries not for geopolitical deals but for the restoration of the Social Reign of Christ—a truth the conciliar sect has treasonously suppressed.
