Neo-Cristero Spectacle Masks Conciliar Complicity
Catholic News Agency (January 14, 2026) reports that over 45,000 youths plan a pilgrimage to Mexico’s Christ the King monument on Cubilete Hill, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Cristero War. The event features a “Holy Mass” celebrated by Vatican representative Joseph Spiteri and León “archbishop” Jaime Calderón Calderón, framed as resistance against “subtle censorship” of Catholicism. Organizers from the “Witness and Hope” group decry church attacks and murdered priests while paradoxically collaborating with the very ecclesiastical structures enabling Mexico’s anti-Catholic persecution.
Sacrilegious Parody of the Unbloody Sacrifice
The central blasphemy lies in the planned “Holy Mass” officiated by Spiteri – a diplomat of the Bergoglian antipapacy – and Calderón, whose holy orders derive from the invalid post-1968 rites. As Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis (1947) dogmatically defined, ordination requires the matter, form, and intention preserved in traditional rites, all abolished by Paul VI’s Pontificalis Romani (1968). The organizers thereby facilitate what St. Thomas Aquinas condemns as “simulata sacramenta” (Summa Theologiae III, q.64 a.10) – simulated sacraments that sacrilegiously mimic Christ’s true priesthood.
Betrayal of Cristero Martyrs’ Legacy
The article’s reference to the Cristero War (1926-1929) exposes the event’s historical illiteracy. President Calles’ persecution occurred when Mexico’s hierarchy suspended public worship rather than compromise with anti-Catholic laws – a stance diametrically opposed to today’s conciliar “bishops” who:
“seek dialogue with the persecutors [and] consider state intrusion into ecclesiastical affairs as legitimate” (Pius XI, Firmissimam Constantiam, 1937)
Whereas Cristero fighters bore arms chanting “¡Viva Cristo Rey!“, today’s organizers reduce resistance to “the cross, the rosary, and prayer” – a surrender to the very secularism Pius XI condemned when establishing Christ the King’s feast to combat “the plague of anti-clericalism whose aim is to wrench God from human hearts” (Quas Primas, 1925).
Theological Cowardice on Social Kingship
Nowhere do organizers mention the necessity of Christ’s social reign, instead lamenting that Christianity is “relegated to the private sphere” as if this were merely undesirable rather than doctrinally catastrophic. The Syllabus of Errors explicitly condemns the notion that “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). This silence flows from Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae, which perversely claims religious liberty as a “human right” – a heresy anathematized by Gregory XVI’s Mirari Vos (1832): “absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone.”
Modernist Subversion of Historical Memory
Rubén Loya’s distortion of Cristero history as mere “resistance” exemplifies the conciliar corruption of language. The 1926-1929 conflict involved 60,000+ Catholic combatants and 90,000 federal troops – a theological necessity when, as Pope Julius II declared, “force may be repelled by force” (In apostolicae sedis specula, 1510). By contrast, the organizers’ pacifist rhetoric aligns with Bergoglio’s heretical claim that “war is never necessary, nor inevitable” (2022), directly contradicting St. Augustine’s just war doctrine (City of God XIX:7).
Complicity in Mexico’s Ecclesiastical Genocide
The article notes Mexico’s “50 priests murdered in six years” under AMLO’s regime but omits the conciliar hierarchy’s culpability. When drug cartels desecrate churches and martyr priests, Mexico’s modernist “bishops” respond with interfaith dialogues and environmental synods rather than excommunication and public denunciation. This fulfills Paul VI’s 1965 order to Mexican bishops: “abandon triumphalism… adapt to modern man” – a betrayal echoing Our Lord’s warning: “the hireling flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep” (John 10:13).
This neo-Cristero spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s modus operandi: liturgical profanation through invalid sacraments, historical revisionism sanitizing militant Catholicism, and doctrinal surrender to secular tyranny – all while posturing as defenders of the faith. True Cristero heirs would denounce both AMLO’s regime and its Vatican enablers, restoring the battle cry: “¡Viva Cristo Rey! ¡Viva Santa MarÃa de Guadalupe!”
