UK Bans Catholic Activist While Global Prelates Compromise with Secularism
The Catholic News Agency portal reports Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a Dutch Catholic convert and critic of migrant violence against women, was barred from the UK under claims her presence is “not conducive to the public good.” Simultaneously, the Sydney Archdiocese opposed hate speech laws after anti-Semitic chants followed a terror attack, advocating “better speech” instead of legal bans. Lebanon’s Maronite hierarchy warned against land sales eroding Christian demographics while avoiding calls for Catholic confessional governance. Melkite Bishop Jean-Marie Chami proposed prayer campaigns amid Middle East turmoil rather than denouncing Islamist aggression. Christian schools in Jerusalem suspended operations after Israeli permit restrictions, while Ethiopian Catholics celebrated a new eparchy’s anniversary. Egyptian Catholics protested discriminatory holiday policies favoring Orthodox Christians. Sri Lankan clergy emphasized material aid over doctrinal fidelity after natural disasters.
Silence on the Secularist Persecution of Catholic Witness
The UK’s expulsion of Vlaardingerbroek exemplifies the tyranny of secular states against those defending Christian morality. Her indictment of Prime Minister Starmer’s inaction toward “migrant rape gangs” directly confronts the cultus hominis (cult of man) embedded in modern immigration policies. Yet the article reduces this to a bureaucratic travel ban without exposing how Quas Primas (1925) demands societies submit to Christ the King’s governance. Pius XI condemned precisely such secular arrogance: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws… the foundations of authority were destroyed” (Encyclical Ubi Arcano). Vlaardingerbroek’s reception into the Ordinariate by “Fr.” Benedict Kiely—a cleric under the counterfeit “Personal Ordinariate” structure erected by antipope Benedict XVI—further muddies her doctrinal standing. True Catholics recognize no validity in conciliar “ordinariates,” which are ecumenical Trojan horses.
Syney’s Archdiocese Capitulates to Moral Relativism
The Sydney Archdiocese’s submission to the New South Wales government inquiry rejects the Church’s duty to legislate against evil. Their claim that
“our first response to bad speech should be better speech”
ignores canon law’s demand to eradicate heresy through coercive means (1917 CIC 2314). The Syllabus of Errors (1864) explicitly condemns the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error #55). By framing “globalize the intifada” chants as mere “hateful rhetoric,” the archdiocese disregards Aquinas’ teaching that governments must punish blasphemers to protect the common good (ST II-II Q11 A3). This passive stance reveals the conciliar sect’s surrender to religious indifferentism.
Maronite Cowardice in Lebanon’s Demographic War
While the Maronite League rightly identifies land sales as existential threats, their appeal to “state institutions” ignores Lebanon’s constitutional requirement for a Maronite Christian president. The League’s sterile call for “legal safeguards” avoids demanding enforcement of Pactum Lorem (1943 National Pact), which enshrined Christian political primacy. Their endorsement of President Joseph Aoun—a military figure lacking confessional legitimacy—and fixation on state weapon monopolies (
“all weapons must remain exclusively in the hands of the state”
) betray abandonment of the Church’s historic right to raise militias for self-defense, as seen in the Crusades. True shepherds would invoke Unam Sanctam (1302): “The spiritual power must institute the earthly power, and judge it if it be not good.”
Bishop Chami’s Inadequate Spiritualism Amid Jihad
Melkite Bishop Chami’s plea for “40 days of prayer and fasting” while omitting denunciation of Islamic persecution exemplifies the conciliar sect’s paralysis. Contrast this with Pius V’s call for the Rosary before Lepanto (1571), which coupled spiritual warfare with military mobilization. Chami’s focus on “unity among peoples” echoes the false ecumenism of Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate, condemned by the Syllabus as “equating Christianity with false religions” (Error #21). Authentic Catholic response requires unapologetic counter-jihad, as articulated in Quanta Cura (1864): “The absurd and erroneous doctrine of religious liberty must be rejected.”
Jerusalem Schools’ Crisis: Fruit of Vatican II’s Betrayal
The permit crisis disabling Christian schools reveals the futility of seeking tolerance from anti-Christian regimes. By pleading for “pluralistic character” rather than asserting Christ’s exclusive rights over Jerusalem, educators adopt the defeatist language of religious liberty. Pius IX’s Quanta Cura condemned the “erroneous opinion” that “liberty of conscience and worship is each man’s personal right.” The schools’ collapse stems directly from the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Catholic confessional states, leaving believers vulnerable to Zionist and Islamist pressures alike.
Ethiopian “Eparchy” Celebrates While Orthodoxy Crumbles
The Eparchy of Bahir Dar-Dessie’s anniversary highlights the conciliar sect’s obsession with institutional expansion over doctrinal purity. Despite Ethiopia’s Orthodox majority rejecting Vatican II’s heresies, the eparchy’s “new era of grace” rhetoric conceals its participation in ecumenical syncretism. True missions convert souls, not erect buildings while tolerating schismatics. The Lamentabili Sane (1907) condemned such Modernist tendencies as “inventing parables to explain failures” (Proposition 13).
Egypt’s Holiday Scandal: Equal Rights for Heretics?
Coptic Catholic Bishop Ibrahim Ishaq’s outrage over unequal holidays exposes the bankruptcy of ecumenism. By demanding “full equality among Christian denominations,” he rejects the Syllabus’s condemnation of religious indifferentism (Error #15-18). Catholics must demand exclusive recognition of their feast days while converting heretics, not beg for equal crumbs from secular states. The article’s neutral framing ignores Pius IX’s decree that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” is heresy (Error #18).
Sri Lanka’s Social Gospel Replaces Salvation
Fr. Basil Rohan Fernando’s boast that the Church provides “material, financial, spiritual, psychological, and social assistance” epitomizes the conciliar shift from eternal salvation to temporal charity. While aiding cyclone victims is praiseworthy, emphasizing “rekindling hope” without preaching repentance and the Social Reign of Christ violates Matthew 10:28: “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.” The Modernist error—condemned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907)—exchanges the depositum fidei for humanitarian activism.
