Vatican News portal (January 13, 2026) reports that “Bishop” Carlos Enrique Curiel Herrera of the Venezuelan “Bishops'” Conference encourages educational communities to make schools “places of peace and justice,” invoking “tools of study and learning” to build “harmony for the country” while omitting any reference to the Social Reign of Christ the King or the Church’s divine mandate over education. This modernist manifesto exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic betrayal of Catholic education principles.
Sacrilegious Substitution of Natural Virtues for Supernatural Order
The Venezuelan episcopal statement reduces education to a social engineering project, declaring schools “the most sacred place to sow the seed of faith” while simultaneously divorcing this faith from its sine qua non conditions.
“…the educational setting continues to be the most sacred place to sow the seed of faith, commitment to the values of justice, and the freedom that guide our existence.”
This blasphemous equivalence between divine revelation and humanistic “values” directly contradicts Pius XI’s encyclical Divini Illius Magistri (1929), which condemns the “pernicious error” of those who “put forward the false principle of the neutrality of the school in matters of religion.”
The document’s repeated references to “democracy,” “citizenship,” and “justice” absent any Christocentric foundation reveal its ideological parentage in the condemned propositions of Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864), which rejected the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55). By urging students to build “peace in the country” through secular tools alone, these conciliar operatives deny the Regnum Christi established through Holy Church.
Canonical Crimes of False Sanctity
The invocation of “St.” José Gregorio Hernández and “Mother” Carmen Rendiles Martínez constitutes spiritual fraud, given their post-1958 “canonizations” by antipopes. These figures represent the conciliar sect’s manufactured pantheon designed to replace true saints like Pius X – the hammer of modernists – whose encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) exposed such innovations as “the synthesis of all heresies.” The Venezuelan “bishops” thus propagate what St. Paul called “doctrinas daemoniorum” (1 Tim 4:1) – doctrines of demons disguised as piety.
Omission of the Church’s Divine Constitution
Nowhere does the document mention the Church’s munus docendi (teaching office) or reference Quas Primas (1925), wherein Pius XI established Christ’s universal kingship, declaring: “Nations will be reminded by the annual celebration of this feast that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ.” The Venezuelan episcopate’s silence on this dogma proves their adherence to Vatican II’s apostate declaration Dignitatis Humanae, which Pius IX had preemptively condemned in Proposition 77 of the Syllabus: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State.”
Educational Sabotage Through Masonic Language
The statement’s emphasis on schools as “safe spaces for building citizenship” employs terminology identical to UNESCO’s 1974 Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, which seeks to replace Catholic doctrina with secular indoctrination. This fulfills the Masonic plan exposed in Alta Vendita documents calling for the “education of youth in the secret societies” to subvert the Church. The “bishops'” promotion of “listening” and “discernment” echoes Bergoglio’s synodal heresies, rejecting the Church’s God-given authority to teach rather than dialogue.
As St. John Bosco warned: “Without the fear of God, schools become markets of disorder.” By omitting the necessity of sacramental life, grace, and the Four Last Things, these Venezuelan modernists transform Catholic education into what Pius XI called “pagan schools in which the name of the Savior is never uttered” (Divini Illius Magistri 18). Their document constitutes not a pastoral letter but a revolutionary manifesto for the destruction of Catholic youth.
