The Vatican News portal reports on January 29, 2026, that Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), has called for a “Holy Hour for Peace” to address America’s “climate of fear and polarization.” The article describes this initiative as a response to recent police killings in Minneapolis and Texas, framing it as spiritual remedy for societal unrest. Coakley insists that “works of mercy” and prayer can overcome anger and despair, while carefully avoiding any substantive doctrinal analysis of the crises. This theatrical gesture exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of sacramental efficacy with psychosocial manipulation.
Naturalism Displacing Supernatural Order
The USCCB president’s statement reduces the Church’s mission to social therapy, declaring that “works of mercy, peacefully assembling, and caring for those in your community are signs of hope” while omitting the sine qua non of Catholic action: the social reign of Christ the King (Pius XI, Quas Primas). Nowhere does Coakley reference the Duty of Nations to submit to Christ’s authority as articulated in the Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX, 1864), which condemns the heresy that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55).
This deliberate silence reveals the conciliar sect’s fundamental agreement with secular humanism. By framing recent police shootings as mere “failures in our society to respect the dignity of every human life” rather than fruits of a nation in formal apostasy from its baptismal vows, Coakley perpetuates the modernist error condemned in St. Pius X’s Lamentabili: “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him” (Proposition 58). The true Catholic response would demand America’s public submission to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as the sole path to peace—a truth suppressed since the fraudulent “Fatima” apparitions served Masonic interests.
Invalid Sacraments and False Ecumenism
Coakley’s invitation to a “Holy Hour” presumes validity of post-conciliar liturgical rites, despite Paul VI’s Missale Romanum (1969) having fundamentally altered the sacrificial nature of the Mass. The article states Catholics may pray “whether in parishes, chapels, or before the Lord present in the quiet of their hearts”—equating Eucharistic adoration with subjective pietism, in direct violation of Canon 1258 of the 1917 Code. This reflects the conciliar sect’s systematic destruction of sacramental theology, reducing the Most Holy Sacrifice to communal meal (Council of Trent, Session XXII, Canon 1).
The archbishop’s reference to “people of goodwill” working with Catholics constitutes condemned indifferentism. Pius IX’s Quanta Cura explicitly forbids the notion that “good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” (Syllabus, Error 17). By omitting the necessity of conversion for non-Catholics, Coakley implements the ecumenical apostasy of Vatican II’s Unitatis Redintegratio—a document contradicting Boniface VIII’s Unam Sanctam: “Outside the Church there is no salvation or remission of sins.”
Revolutionary Subversion of Justice
Nowhere does the USCCB president identify the ultimate cause of societal collapse: America’s rejection of Christ’s Kingship. The article laments two criminal deaths while remaining silent about 63 million abortions since 1973—a genocide enabled by conciliar bishops’ refusal to enforce Canon 2335 against pro-abortion politicians. This selective outrage follows Bergoglio’s Marxist “peripheral theology,” prioritizing temporal grievances over the lex aeterna.
Coakley’s demand to respect “proper laws” during protests becomes grotesque when applied to regimes enforcing child sacrifice. Pius IX’s Syllabus condemns the liberal error that “human reason… is law to itself” (Error 3), yet the USCCB implicitly accepts the legitimacy of godless civil authority. True Catholic doctrine holds that “an unjust law is no law at all” (Aquinas, Summa Theologica I-II Q.96 A.4), requiring resistance to regimes violating divine law—a principle suppressed since Vatican II’s cowardly Dignitatis Humanae.
False Mysticism Replacing Dogma
The call to entrust fears to the “Sacred Heart of Jesus” constitutes spiritual fraud when divorced from doctrinal precision. St. Pius X’s Holy Office condemned the modernist corruption of devotion: “Such an exegete whose reasoning leads to the conclusion that dogmas are false… should not be condemned, provided he does not directly deny the dogmas themselves” (Lamentabili, Proposition 24). Coakley’s vague piety masks the conciliar sect’s abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus—the very dogma the Sacred Heart revealed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
Conclusion: USCCB as Agent of Apostasy
This theatrical “Holy Hour” exemplifies the conciliar sect’s modus operandi: simulate Catholic gestures while subverting their substance. The article’s emphasis on social activism (“works of justice”) and psychological comfort (“consolation for those overwhelmed by fear”) replaces the Church’s true weapons against chaos: exorcism, consecration to the Immaculate Heart, and public reparation for blasphemies. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi, modernists reduce religion to “a certain religious movement… applicable to different times and places” (Proposition 59). Until America kneels before the true Sovereign—not at USCCB spectacles, but through the unbloody renewal of Calvary in valid Masses—her descent into barbarism will continue unabated.
