Vatican News Promotes Naturalism Under Guise of Pastoral Care in Greenland
The Vatican News portal (January 23, 2026) profiles Fr. Tomaž Majcen, a Slovenian Franciscan serving as “parish priest” of Nuuk’s Christ the King Church. The article frames Greenland’s geopolitical tensions through climate activism and cultural preservation while omitting all supernatural dimensions of the Church’s mission.
Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Concern
The conciliar sect’s mouthpiece reduces Catholic pastoral ministry to a socio-political advocacy group, quoting Majcen’s claim that churches offer “moral grounding” against “reducing Greenland to a strategic object.” This echoes the modernist heresy condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “For them the Church is not a Divine Society… but a mere human institution” (§25). Not once does Majcen mention conversion, sanctifying grace, or the Social Kingship of Christ—the very title of his parish church.
Religious Indifferentism Canonized
Celebrating Lutheran-Catholic syncretism, the article approvingly notes Sunday prayers for Denmark’s government in Lutheran churches. This violates Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors: “In the worship of any religion whatever, men may find the way of eternal salvation” (Condemned Proposition 16). Majcen’s silence on Greenlanders’ need to enter the Una Fides confirms the conciliar sect’s apostasy from Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus.
“Our parish is small, but very much alive.”
This statement epitomizes the neo-church’s quantitative obsession, contrasting with Christ’s warning: “Fear not, little flock” (Luke 12:32). True Catholic vitality lies in doctrinal purity, not ecumenical head-counts.
Climate Pantheism Replaces Redemptive Mission
Majcen’s assertion that Greenland’s landscape “teaches prayer” through “silence and vastness” substitutes pagan nature-worship for lex orandi, lex credendi. Pius XI’s Quas Primas explicitly rebukes such naturalism: “When once men recognize… that Christ has been given all power in heaven and on earth… then at last will many evils be cured” (§19). The article’s fixation on climate change (“not a theory, but something you see”) ignores the true environmental crisis: worldwide apostasy from the Creator.
Geopolitical Naïveté as Theological Bankruptcy
While decrying foreign powers viewing Greenland as “property,” Majcen absurdly claims military cooperation with NATO is seen as “shared responsibility for security.” This ignores Pius IX’s condemnation of those who say “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Syllabus, Proposition 55). True security flows only from Christ’s reign over nations, not pagan alliances.
The Franciscan Betrayal
That a son of St. Francis—whose Rule demands “spurning earthly things”—would parrot UN sustainability goals reveals the conciliar sect’s corruption. St. Bonaventure warned: “Without theology, Creation is a labyrinth.” Majcen’s “respect for indigenous knowledge” replaces evangelization with cultural preservation, violating Our Lord’s command: “Teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19).
Omission of the Unbloody Sacrifice
Nowhere does the article mention whether Majcen offers the Traditional Latin Mass—the sole guarantee of valid sacraments. The Novus Ordo “Eucharists” he likely celebrates cannot effect grace, per the Holy Office’s 1949 decree: “No one may attend non-Catholic worship.” By promoting interdenominational prayer, Majcen mocks the Blood of the Covenant.
