US Government and Conciliar Sect Collude on Religious Worker Visas, Neglecting Divine Law
Catholic News Agency reports on January 14, 2026 that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Kristi Noem will implement a rule easing visa requirements for foreign religious workers. The measure eliminates the one-year foreign residency requirement for R-1 visa holders who reach their five-year limit before obtaining green cards. “Archbishop” Paul Coakley and “Bishop” Brendan Cahill of the United States Conference of Catholic “Bishops” (USCCB) praised the move, claiming it will “minimize disruptions to cherished ministries” while continuing to push Congress for the Religious Workforce Protection Act. The report notes Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s earlier promises to create a “standalone process” for religious visas without denominational preference. This bureaucratic “solution” emerges after multiple dioceses faced priest shortages due to visa backlogs exacerbated under the Biden administration.
Naturalistic Reduction of Divine Mission to Administrative Compliance
The DHS press release reduces the sacred priesthood to social service providers, stating: “Pastors, priests, nuns, and rabbis are essential to the social and moral fabric of this country.” This naturalistic framing directly contradicts Pius XI’s teaching in Quas Primas that Christ’s Kingship demands “not only private individuals, but also rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” By treating ordained ministers as mere contributors to America’s “moral fabric,” the state arrogantly places itself as arbiter of religious utility – a violation of the Syllabus of Errors which condemned the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55).
USCCB’s Apostate Collaboration With Secular Powers
The conciliar sect’s pseudo-bishops demonstrate their illegitimacy through servile gratitude toward civil authorities. Coakley and Cahill’s statement – “We are tremendously grateful for the Administration’s work” – exposes their modernist inversion of Christ’s command to “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s” (Matthew 22:21). True shepherds would condemn a government presuming to regulate Christ’s priesthood through immigration quotas. As Leo XIII warned in Immortale Dei: “There was once a time when States were governed by the philosophy of the Gospel.” The USCCB’s groveling before DHS bureaucrats proves they belong to the “synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9) rather than the Church founded by Christ.
Marco Rubio’s Erroneous “Neutrality” Heresy
Rubio’s claim that the visa system won’t favor one denomination constitutes blasphemous indifference. The Syllabus explicitly condemns the idea that “every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Error 15). True Catholic states must privilege the One True Faith, as Pius IX taught in Quanta Cura: “The Church without any hesitation… declares that they are perverted by fatal errors who think that… equal rights should be secured to all religions.” Rubio’s pledge to avoid “denominational preference” institutionalizes the Americanist heresy condemned in Testem Benevolentiae (1899).
Omission of Sacramental Validity Crisis
The article’s concern about “priest shortages” ignores the elephant in the sanctuary: most conciliar sect “clergy” lack valid ordinations since Paul VI’s invalid Pontificalis Romani (1968). As the Holy Office decreed in 1896: “Anglican orders are absolutely null and utterly void.” The same applies to post-conciliar rites that abandoned the essential form of Holy Orders. Thus, even if visa backlogs disappeared, Novus Ordo “parishes” would remain sacramental deserts. The true crisis isn’t bureaucratic delays but the neo-church’s destruction of the priesthood itself – a fact the USCCB dare not mention.
Silence on Antichrist’s Infiltration of Ministries
Notably absent is any warning about Masonic subversion of religious visa programs. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 2335) excommunicates Catholics who join Masonic lodges, yet the DHS rule could facilitate entry for modernist infiltrators. Pius VIII’s 1829 encyclical Traditi Humilitati warned: “Experience has proven wolves often enter the sheepfold in clothing of sheep to suffocate faith.” The article’s celebration of streamlined visa processing ignores how this could accelerate the “abomination of desolation” (Matthew 24:15) – apostate clergy occupying Catholic pulpits.
Conclusion: State and Neo-Church Dance of Death
This DHS-USCCB collaboration exemplifies the conciliar sect’s betrayal of Regnans in Excelsis (1570), where St. Pius V excommunicated Queen Elizabeth I for usurping ecclesiastical authority. When “bishops” beg Caesar for permission to staff counterfeit ministries, they confirm Pius X’s warning in Pascendi that modernists reduce religion to “a certain kind of atmosphere in which the soul may breathe with difficulty.” The true solution? Reject the neo-church entirely and seek valid sacraments from priests ordained in the traditional rite – regardless of government paperwork.
