Conciliar Sect’s Kuwait Basilica Elevation: Ecumenical Subversion Masquerading as Piety
The EWTN News article (January 16, 2026) reports the elevation of the “Our Lady of Arabia” church in Kuwait to a “minor basilica” by the structures occupying the Vatican, with “Cardinal” Pietro Parolin presiding. This act is framed as strengthening Kuwait-Holy See diplomatic relations first established in 1968, with the building now hailed as a center for “dialogue and mutual respect” and granting conciliar “plenary indulgences.” The church, originally built in 1957 through funds from the Kuwait Oil Company, is portrayed as the “mother church” for Catholics in the Gulf region.
Illegitimate Title Bestowed by Usurped Authority
The so-called “minor basilica” distinction holds no canonical validity, being conferred by a modernist apparatus that severed continuity with the Magisterium. As Pius XII definitively taught: “The Roman Pontiff is the successor of blessed Peter… endowed with that infallibility with which the Divine Redeemer wished to endow His Church” (Munificentissimus Deus, 1950). The conciliar sect’s “Dicastery for Divine Worship” possesses no jurisdiction, rendering its decrees spiritually void. What the article celebrates as “historical significance” constitutes sacrilege – the blessing of syncretism through counterfeit ecclesiastical titles.
“Our Lady of Arabia”: Masonic Marian Counterfeit
The Marian title promoted here bears the hallmarks of false apparitions condemned by pre-conciliar theology. Like the fabricated “Fatima” narrative, this devotion serves geopolitical objectives under religious guise. The church’s funding by the Kuwait Oil Company – an entity dependent on usury and exploitation – mocks the Virgin’s true titles as “Destroyer of Heresies” and “Queen of the Rosary.” Pius XI explicitly condemned such interfaith Marian distortions: “Any form of veneration… which implies communion of worship with non-Catholics is absolutely unlawful” (Mortalium Animos, 1928).
Ecumenical Betrayal Disguised as “Dialogue”
The article’s celebration of “dialogue and mutual respect” constitutes apostasy from Catholic missions. Contrast this with Pius IX’s condemnation: “They are in grave error who consider it possible to bring about the salvation of souls… by means of a mixing of falsehood with truth” (Qui Pluribus, 1846). The conciliar sect’s “plenary indulgences” attached to this pseudo-basilica compound the sacrilege, simulating sacramental graces while promoting religious indifferentism explicitly condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (1864):
16. Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation, and arrive at eternal salvation.
Abandonment of the Church’s Militant Mission
Nowhere does the article mention the obligation to convert Muslims or condemn Kuwait’s Islamic legal system that criminalizes apostasy. This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s rejection of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. As Leo XIII decreed: “The Church… proclaims herself the one ark of salvation; whosoever enter not therein shall perish in the flood” (Praeclara Gratulationis, 1894). The designation “mother church” becomes diabolical parody when applied to a structure facilitating the spiritual death of souls through omission of Gospel truth.
Diplomatic Treason Against Christ the King
The boasting of Kuwait as “first Gulf state to establish diplomatic relations with the Holy See” (1968) reveals the conciliar sect’s servility to earthly powers. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) establishes the antithesis: “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.” True Catholic diplomacy demands submission of states to Christ’s Social Reign – not mutual backscratching with regimes persecuting converts from Islam.
Conclusion: Masonic Ritual Displacing Catholic Worship
This pseudo-basilica’s elevation follows the Masonic playbook exposed in Pius IX’s Etsi Multa: “They plan the destruction of the Catholic Church… to establish the reign of Satan upon the ruins of the Christian institution.” The conciliar sect’s Arabian monument embodies the Abomination of Desolation – a temple of religious syncretism where the smoke of human diplomacy replaces the incense of true sacrifice. As the article’s ecumenical euphoria heralds the coming One World Religion, faithful Catholics echo St. John’s warning: “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins!” (Revelation 18:4).
