Zayed Award’s False Peace Masks Apostasy Against Christ the King
VaticanNews portal (January 19, 2026) reports the conferral of the 2026 Zayed Award for Human Fraternity upon the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement and Afghan activist Zarqa Yaftali. The award ceremony, scheduled for February 4 in Abu Dhabi, is framed as promoting “dialogue and coexistence.” Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev praised the recognition, while Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonça participated in the selection committee. The award claims inspiration from the 2019 “Document on Human Fraternity” signed by antipope Bergoglio and Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Order
The award’s celebration of secular peace agreements embodies the naturalism condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (1864): “The Church ought to adapt herself to modern civilization” (Error 80). By declaring peace “a continuous journey” rather than a fruit of Christ’s Kingship, the award reduces reconciliation to mere political pragmatism. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) unequivocally states: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony”. The silence on Armenia’s Christian genocide victims—sacrificed to geopolitical expediency—exposes the award’s anti-Catholic subtext.
“a process of peace, dialogue, normalization, and conflict resolution” undertaken by both States
This bureaucratic language deliberately omits the only foundation for true peace: the Social Reign of Christ the King. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1375) mandated excommunication for those collaborating with forces undermining Catholic states. Azerbaijan’s Islamic dictatorship and Armenia’s secular regime—both persecutors of Christians—are lauded as peacemakers, proving the award’s alignment with Freemasonic universalism.
False Ecumenism as Theological Sabotage
Cardinal Mendonça’s involvement in selecting winners epitomizes the conciliar sect’s betrayal. The award claims lineage from the 2019 Abu Dhabi declaration, which asserted that “the diversity of religions is willed by God”—a heresy directly contradicting Pope Pius IX’s condemnation: “Liberty of conscience and worship is the proper right of every man, and should be proclaimed by law in every correctly established society” (Error 77, Syllabus). St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) condemned Modernist attempts to reduce revelation to “man’s self-awareness of his relation to God” (Proposition 20), precisely the anthropocentrism driving this award.
“Inspired by the signing of the Document on Human Fraternity by Pope Francis and Ahmed Al-Tayeb”
Bergoglio’s collaboration with Islamic leaders continues Vatican II’s apostasy. Pope Pius XI warned in Mortalium Animos (1928): “Those who hold such a view are not only in error; they distort the true idea of religion and thus reject it, falling gradually into naturalism and atheism”. By honoring a peace deal brokered by the United States (a nation promoting abortion and gender ideology), the award endorses the “synagogue of Satan” (Apocalypse 2:9) that persecutes Christ’s true Church.
Education Divorced From Salvation
Zarqa Yaftali’s recognition for promoting girls’ education in Afghanistan prioritizes earthly empowerment over eternal salvation. The Syllabus condemns the error that “Catholic schools for youth are to be abolished, or… subjected to civil authority” (Error 45). Her work, while alleviating temporal suffering, ignores the “one fold and one shepherd” (John 10:16). Pius XI’s Divini Illius Magistri (1929) insists education must have “as its principal purpose the direction of the soul toward God”. Celebrating secular education without evangelization constitutes spiritual abandonment—a crime against the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).
Structures of Apostasy
Judge Mohamed Abdelsalam’s description of the award’s mission—“to promote… dialogue and coexistence”—reveals its Masonic character. The Syllabus anathematizes those claiming “The Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free” (Error 19). By equating Islamic regimes with Catholic states, the award denies the unicity of the Church as the ark of salvation. The conciliar sect’s participation in this charade—through Cardinal Mendonça’s dicastery—fulfills Our Lady of La Salette’s prophecy: “Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist”.
