Vatican News portal (January 27, 2026) reports on South Sudanese “cardinal” Stephen Ameyu Martin Mulla condemning military leaders’ inflammatory language while invoking Bergoglio’s (“Pope Francis”) appeals for peace. The article promotes “dialogue” between warring factions in Jonglei State, quoting the conciliar prelate’s statement: “Citizens are not property—they are human beings. It is vital to understand their pain, hunger for peace, and desire to live in freedom.” The piece concludes with an appeal to the international community and calls for prayer, notably omitting any reference to the Kingship of Christ or the necessity of conversion to the One True Church for societal order.
Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Concern
The article’s reduction of peacebuilding to humanitarian dialogue and psychological empathy constitutes a radical departure from Catholic social doctrine. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas primas (1925) dogmatically declares that “the empire of our Redeemer embraces all men… Nor is there any difference in this matter between the individual and the family or the State; for all men, whether collectively or individually, are under the dominion of Christ” (§18). By framing conflict resolution purely in anthropocentric terms—”understanding pain,” “desire for freedom”—the conciliar sect perpetuates the heresy of Americanism condemned in Leo XIII’s Testem benevolentiae (1899), which warned against adapting Church teachings to “modern civilization.”
The “cardinal’s” silence on South Sudan’s obligation to recognize Christ’s sovereignty proves this sect’s complicity in what Pius IX termed the “great error of our times“—the separation of Church and State (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 77). His appeal to Bergoglio’s authority compounds the scandal, given the antipope’s documented destruction of Catholic doctrine through Amoris Laetitia and the Pachamama idolatry.
False Ecumenism in Military Attire
When the conciliar prelate demands that fighting forces “not heed any directive that risks victimising innocent civilians,” he employs the very religious indifferentism condemned by Gregory XVI in Mirari vos (1832). The article’s claim that “citizens are not property” deliberately obscures the Catholic truth that rulers hold power as ministers of God (Romans 13:4), not as proprietors of human chattel. This semantic manipulation exposes the neo-modernist tendency to replace dogma with sentimental slogans.
The absence of any call for soldiers to receive sacramental absolution or for commanders to submit to ecclesiastical authority demonstrates the conciliar sect’s abandonment of societas perfecta theology. Pius XII’s Ci riesce (1953) explicitly affirmed that the Church must judge temporal matters when moral law is violated—a duty this “cardinal” shirks by reducing his role to NGO-style conflict mediation.
Bergoglio’s Hollow Appeals and the Silence of Apostasy
Invoking Bergoglio’s 2023 visit as moral authority constitutes spiritual fraud. The antipope’s refusal to demand South Sudan’s conversion to Catholicism during that visit—instead promoting interfaith “fraternity”—directly contradicts Boniface VIII’s Unam Sanctam (1302): “Outside the Church there is neither salvation nor remission of sins.” The article’s reference to “prayer for peace” without specifying prayer to Christ the King for the nation’s conversion reveals the conciliar sect’s immanentist heresy, treating grace as a humanistic energy rather than the supernatural life flowing from sacraments.
The True Remedy: Christ’s Reign Through His Church
South Sudan’s violence stems not from failed diplomacy but from rejecting the Social Kingship of Christ. As Leo XIII taught in Immortale Dei (1885), “When a society perishes, the ultimate reason is that the divine principles which gave it existence have been disregarded in its government” (§25). The conciliar sect’s prescription of dialogue without conversion echoes the modernist error condemned in Lamentabili Sane’s Proposition 65: “Contemporary Catholicism cannot be reconciled with true knowledge without transforming it… into a broad and liberal Protestantism.”
Until South Sudanese leaders obey Pius XI’s injunction to “give back to God the honor due to Him, and use their power and authority for the spread of God’s kingdom” (Quas Primas §32), no military cease-fire will bring lasting peace. The true Church alone possesses the remedy through the Mass of Ages and uncompromised doctrine—both systematically destroyed by the conciliar antipopes since 1958.
