VaticanNews portal (January 24, 2026) reports on Ukrainians enduring freezing conditions after Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. The article describes power outages, emergency heating points, and UN relief efforts while omitting any reference to the spiritual causes of this suffering. This silence constitutes a clerical betrayal more devastating than winter temperatures.
Naturalism as Substitute for Supernatural Faith
The report reduces human suffering to a technical problem solvable through generators and thermal blankets. Nowhere does it mention that nations rejecting Regnum Christi (the Kingship of Christ) inevitably descend into mutual destruction. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) declares: “When once men recognize… the royalty of Christ, it will be given to them to enjoy… peace” (§1). By focusing solely on material aid, the conciliar sect perpetuates the modernist heresy condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907): reducing religion to “man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).
“The United Nations and humanitarian actors are conducting activities as part of the Winter Response Plan for Ukraine, launched last July.”
This endorsement of secular messianism ignores the Church’s exclusive duty to alleviate suffering through spiritual means first. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1258) forbade Catholics from participating in non-Catholic worship or collaborating with anti-Christian organizations like the UN, whose Universal Declaration of Human Rights directly contradicts Pius IX’s condemnation of religious liberty in the Syllabus of Errors (1864).
Shepherds Silent While Flock Freezes
The article’s description of elderly Ukrainians comparing their plight to World War II suffering exposes the conciliar clergy’s abdication. Where are Bergoglio’s modernist “bishops” distributing true sacraments instead of thermal underwear? Where are the calls for public consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart – not the fraudulent Fatima fabrication, but through authentic Marian devotion? The silence confirms these “clerics” have become what St. Augustine called muti canes – mute dogs unable to bark at error (Isaiah 56:10).
“Russia denies deliberately targeting civilians, despite bombings tearing down Ukrainian territories.”
This moral equivalence between aggressor and defender constitutes implicit Kremlin apologetics. Traditional Catholic just war doctrine (Aquinas, Summa II-II Q40) permits defensive military action, yet the conciliar sect’s false ecumenism prevents them from condemning Orthodox Russia’s schismatic violence. The 1864 Syllabus explicitly denounced the idea that “the Roman Pontiff can… reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Proposition 80).
Abandoned to Secular Saviors
The so-called “Invincibility Points” represent the ultimate modernist betrayal: replacing Eucharistic adoration with device-charging stations. Contrast this with the 1942 Catechism of the Crisis in the Church by Fr. François-Xavier Grolleau: “When persecution strikes, the faithful must seek refuge not in UN tents but before the Tabernacle.” By promoting thermal underwear distributions rather than Forty Hours Devotions, the conciliar sect fulfills Pius X’s warning about modernists making the Church “an enemy of… theological sciences” (Lamentabili, Proposition 57).
Omissions Condemn More Than Errors
Three deadly silences permeate this report:
- No call for national repentance: Ukraine’s government legalized homosexual civil unions in 2023 – a crime crying to Heaven for vengeance (Genesis 19)
- No mention of sacraments: Nowhere does it urge Ukrainians to seek valid Confession or Communion from true priests
- No condemnation of Russia’s schismatic Orthodoxy: The article treats Moscow’s barbarism as political rather than theological
This humanitarian crisis stems directly from humanity’s rejection of Quas Primas‘ central truth: “The empire of our Redeemer embraces all men… entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (§18). Until nations kneel before their true King, such suffering will intensify – and modernist “shepherds” will keep handing out blankets rather than absolution.
