The “Catholic News Agency” portal (January 20, 2026) reports on comments by “Archbishop” Timothy Broglio regarding potential U.S. military action against Greenland. The head of the Archdiocese for Military Services claims such action would “tarnish” America’s global image, acknowledges soldiers’ right to disobey “morally questionable” orders, and frames the dispute through secular geopolitics rather than Catholic principles. This demonstrates the conciliar sect’s complete capitulation to naturalist ethics.
Subordination of Divine Law to Human Opinion
Broglio’s assertion that annexation “does not seem really reasonable” because Denmark is a “friendly nation” and NATO ally reveals a fundamental inversion of Catholic moral theology. The Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX, 1864) explicitly condemns the proposition that “international relations should be governed by human law rather than divine authority” (Error 39). Traditional Catholic teaching holds that Regnare Christum volumus! (“We will Christ to reign!”) applies to all nations (Pius XI, Quas Primas, 1925), not merely to diplomatic convenience between “friendly” regimes. The absence of any reference to Greenland’s duty to recognize Christ’s social kingship constitutes culpable silence about the foundation of legitimate authority.
Perversion of Just War Doctrine
The “archbishop’s” suggestion that invasion might be permissible if Greenlanders “wanted to be annexed” distorts Aquinas’ just war principles (Summa Theologica II-II Q40). Saint Thomas requires auctoritas principis (legitimate authority) – which no modern secular state possesses since collectively rejecting papal coronation rites. Moreover, Broglio ignores Pius XII’s requirement in Ci riesce (1953) that military actions must serve “the restoration of rights violated by a real, certain, and grave injustice” – not territorial expansion. His reduction of moral calculus to popular opinion (“if the people wanted”) echoes condemned modernist subjectivism (St. Pius X, Lamentabili, Proposition 58).
Betrayal of Soldiers’ Spiritual Welfare
While correctly noting soldiers’ right to disobey immoral orders, Broglio’s concern about putting them in “untenable situations” ignores the conciliar sect’s primary duty: the salvation of souls. Authentic shepherds would forbid participation in unjust wars absolutely, as did St. Augustine regarding imperial aggression (City of God, IV.6), not merely suggest disobedience as a personal option. The military ordinariate’s failure to declare any war lacking papal authorization intrinsically immoral (per Boniface VIII’s Unam Sanctam) constitutes dereliction of sacramental duty. That Greenland’s Catholics fall under Copenhagen’s jurisdiction – itself part of the Scandinavian Bishops’ Conference promoting LGBT blessings – illustrates how conciliar structures abandon flocks to wolves.
Theological Omissions as Dogmatic Heresy
Nowhere does Broglio reference:
- The Social Kingship of Christ as the only basis for legitimate state action
- The Church’s exclusive right to judge war morality (Leo XIII, Immortale Dei)
- Denmark’s apostasy through legalized blasphemy (abortion, same-sex “marriage”) forfeiting any prima facie claim to sovereignty
This aligns with Vatican II’s heresy of “religious liberty” (Dignitatis Humanae 2) – condemned by Pius IX’s Quanta Cura (1864). By treating Greenland as property rather than a mission territory needing conversion, Broglio tacitly endorses the “freedom of conscience” error censured in Lamentabili (Proposition 25).
Conclusion: Neo-Church as Obstacle to Christ’s Reign
The military ordinariate’s focus on America’s “tarnished image” rather than Greenland’s eternal welfare proves the conciliar sect operates as a NGO managing perceptions, not the Ark of Salvation. As true shepherds like St. Pius X warned, modernism reduces religion to “sentimentality” while denying objective truth (Encyclical Pascendi, 24). Until nations submit to Christ the King through consecration and canonical coronation (Pius XI, Quas Primas, 18), no peace can exist – only the satanic illusion of tolerance preceding annihilation.
