Apostolic Journey to Apostasy: Parolin’s Kuwait Visit Exposes Conciliar Betrayal

The VaticanNews portal (January 15, 2026) reports on Secretary of State “Cardinal” Pietro Parolin’s visit to Kuwait, celebrating diplomatic relations established in 1968 and the elevation of Our Lady of Arabia Church to minor basilica status by antipope “Leo XIV”. The article emphasizes “mutual respect and peaceful coexistence among religions,” citing Kuwait’s constitutional commitment to these principles and recalling past diplomatic exchanges between Kuwaiti leaders and Vatican officials.

The Abdication of the Church’s Divine Mandate

The scandalous premise of this visit – that the Catholic hierarchy would celebrate “peaceful coexistence” with Islamic rulers – constitutes a direct repudiation of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church there is no salvation), defined infallibly at the Fourth Lateran Council (1215). The VaticanNews report’s grotesque celebration of “mutual respect” ignores the Church’s non-negotiable duty to convert all nations to Christ the King, as solemnly taught by Pius XI: “Christ has dominion over all creatures… by right of redemption” (Quas Primas, §18).

Parolin’s actions implement the heresy of religious liberty condemned as “a most pestilential error” by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832) and reiterated by Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors, which explicitly condemns 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). The article’s boast about Kuwait being “the first country of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf to establish relations with the Holy See” reveals the conciliar sect’s perverse inversion of values – celebrating diplomatic recognition from regimes that outlaw Catholic evangelization while persecuting faithful Catholics who resist liturgical abuses.

Sacrilegious Consecration of a False Ecumenism

The designation of Our Lady of Arabia Church as a minor basilica by antipope “Leo XIV” constitutes sacrilege, as the structure operates under Islamic prohibitions against public Catholic worship. Kuwait’s “constitutional” guarantee of “peaceful coexistence” is a cruel joke when Sharia law forbids:

construction of new churches, public processions, and conversion from Islam under penalty of death

– facts conspicuously absent from the VaticanNews report.

This follows the conciliar sect’s pattern of surrendering Catholic identity for geopolitical relevance, directly violating Pius XI’s warning: “That false claim which would make of the state the ultimate end of existence, beyond which no higher interest is recognized, stands condemned” (Divini Redemptoris, §23). The article’s glowing reference to Kuwait’s 1948 chapel – built only after oil companies demanded worship spaces for Catholic workers – exposes the modernist reduction of faith to a commercial concession rather than divine right.

Diplomatic Treason Against the Kingship of Christ

The report’s celebration of diplomatic milestones – including Sheikh Sabah’s 2010 Vatican visit – constitutes spiritual treason. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane condemned precisely this inversion of priorities, rejecting the notion that “the Roman pontiff can and ought to reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Error 80).

Nowhere does the article mention:

The legal prohibition against converting Muslims
The absence of Catholic schools or hospitals
The ban on clerical attire in public

This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s complicity in the persecution of Christ’s true followers. As the Syllabus of Errors declares: “It is an error to believe that the Roman Pontiff should reconcile himself to modern civilization” (Error 80).

Theology of Apostasy in Architectural Form

The minor basilica designation mocks the Church’s architectural tradition. Authentic minor basilicas historically served as centers of Romanitas – outposts of papal authority emphasizing liturgical precision. This Kuwaiti structure, constrained by Islamic prohibitions against bell towers, public statues, and processions, embodies the conciliar heresy of “inculturation” condemned in St. Pius X’s Pascendi: “They are willing that the sentiment of Christ… should be adapted to modern civilization” (§26).

The article’s reference to “local donors” sustaining the church complex reveals the conciliar sect’s mercenary character – trading spiritual integrity for petrodollar patronage. Contrast this with Pius XI’s teaching: “When civil authority… throws off the yoke of Christ, it very soon ignores the rights of God and His Church” (Quas Primas, §25).

Conclusion: From Diplomacy to Apostasy

Parolin’s Kuwait visit exemplifies the conciliar sect’s total capitulation to the “machinations of the sects” denounced in Pius IX’s Syllabus closing allocution. By celebrating “religious coexistence” with a regime that criminalizes Christian conversion, Vatican officials commit formal cooperation with religious persecution – violating Canon 2335 (1917 Code) which excommunicates those who “favor heretics or schismatics against Catholics.”

The true Church remembers Leo XIII’s warning: “To hold that there is no difference in matters of religion between forms that are unlike… is nothing less than to abandon the religious truth” (Humanum Genus, §31). Until the conciliar sect repudiates these blasphemous “interreligious dialogues” and demands Kuwait’s submission to Christ the King, its diplomatic efforts remain what St. Augustine called “pax diaboli” – the devil’s peace.
